On the Green Agenda, considering that comres poll gave it 28% favourable and 23% unfavourable would not seem to have too much momentum
Metropolitan Railway steam engine No.1 was on the Epping Ongar Railway today! Will also be there next two weekends. Dates from 1898!

Finally, OT, went to a great concert by Bruce Springsteen at Wembley last night, well worth catching while he is still going if you ever get the chance
I can just about see the public interest defence for the snooping on emails.
Revealing that GCHQ spys on our allies (which I had assumed anyway), and exactly how they did so, seems a little off.

I wonder why?

And yet, now they can prove it.
Probably won't change anything but it is a good story.
Depeche Mode were rather awesome last night.
I've given up on them ever performing Master and Servant live for me though.
It's mildly amusing that the leaker (who I think has some merit for the extensive scale of the surveillance he revealed) has run away to China, that well-known haven of campaigners for freedom and openness.

Elsewhere in the Times, David Davis has written a piece that is very unhelpful for George Osborne.

A bit premature.
Boris is not leader yet and may never be. He has something else in common with NF. Neither are MPs.
It has, inter alia, sex, incest, murder, plotting, famine, the Devil, Gods and Angels

I have read bits of it. Revelation's my favourite, as it was clearly written by someone who had eaten magic mushrooms.

For the whole house of Ahab shall perish: and I will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel:

Totally unrelated, my wife wishes we would stay at more hotels like that.
32 And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:
33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions.
34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.

Boris is right to posture on this as it could get very ugly indeed should Cammie do so.
It would also pile massive pressure on Clegg and the lib dems.

Twigg to ban non-qualified teachers from Free Schools:
Mr Twigg said:
"It is shocking that this government is allowing unqualified teachers into the classroom. High-quality teaching is the most important factor in improving education. We need to drive up the quality of teaching, not undermine it."
A Department of Education source responded:
"We are raising the standards required to qualify for taxpayer-funded training. However, we also need flexibility to allow brilliant teachers from private schools or abroad to teach in state schools.
"It would be stupid to stop brilliant teachers who want to be able to switch from private to state schools from doing so. Having qualified teacher status and being qualified to teach are very different things."

The photographs of Blair may have been chosen to be unflattering but even so, the sainted Tony does seem to have got very old, very recently.

All hail the mighty greatness of Justin Rose! I knew you could do it my son, I was there rooting for you all the way. All hail England. God Save The Queen!

Mr. Eagles, I fear that comparing yourself to Bob is like Valerian comparing himself to Aurelian.
That said, the Sandman makes a good baddy re concept. It's a lot better than I remember it when it first came out, so if your other half fancies it - I'd say give it a whirl.
I find MJ rather annoying but maybe that's just me.
"One of the characteristics, along with differences such as age, gender and ethnicity, was the type of school attended."
Obviously those three factors are not in the gift of parents or child, but if we're to embark upon social engineering by making it easier for those who did less well at a state school (on the apparently statistically sound notion that they do relatively better than private school peers at university), would this open the door for age, gender and ethnicity quotas?
I'm not fond of the idea of differing entry requirements. However, it does seem that the system's going to be unfair one way or the other. It's worth mentioning, on a personal note, that my GCSE results were fairly good, my A-levels were rubbish (one was mismarked horrendously, but even so they weren't great) and I did end up with a 2:1.
The very religious Matron was horrified!
