Total - you point to where promoted criticism of "pride in king & country" - you can't!

For the avoidance of doubt I cannot stand all that stuff - I would be shouting "Not My King" if I thought it made any difference other than risking being manhandled or arrested by police and put in a secret watch-list with a mug-shot

Well it looks like we will find out within the next 18 months or so......

I am not really into the whole leader thing... a competent and intelligent chairperson who coordinates the most talented MPs in delivering for all the country with some notice taken of need would be a massive advance - can be as dull as as far as I'm concerned
