Just to digress from politicking...earlier today I heard George Papavgeris sing his song "Friends like these" at the celebration day for Johnny Collins. George wrote it to celebrate his, mine and Johnny's local folk club, and in one verse he incorporated references to me, Johnny and Moses (as in Moses and the Ref). The whole day was about having really great friends like these.

I think we in UK have a slightly different perspective on left and right.
