    And a good chunk of the Labour ones (which make up less than the other 30%) was barely distinguishable.

      Politicians work best when they are scared of their voters at least some of the time.

      UK needs to up its ability to riot.

        Due to an unfortunate series of events a number of years ago, I ended up desperate for ANY reading material and read lots of things that I normally wouldn't choose. One of them was a book called Watching the English, written by an anthropologist about English behavior. It ended up being more interesting than I expected, though I've forgotten most of it. Only one thing has really stuck in my memory from the book, and that's the author's example of the quintessential English protest: "What do we want?" "Gradual change!" "When do we want it?" "In due course!"
