    You can tell a trite comment when you reverse it, because I don;t know anyone who believes that:

    Britain is no more than just a star on somebody else's flag
    But nonetheless, it's good to see the right fall into one of its ritualistic civil wars over Europe.

    OK - I finally gave in and googled it like every other f***er in the country - it's the Minster for Big Society so I was partially right with my guess above.
    Gawd, is that ludicroys Big Society thing still going? I remember CMD's speech at the launch of the Tory election manifesto back in 2010 where he outlined his grand vision for a big society where everyone would want to get involved and there would be a huge role for the voluntary sector.

    Thought it sounded ok at the time (that was before I thought he was an effete suit full of hot air) but I guess it was quite cynical really because all those volunteers would be doing the jobs that were put to the sword by the cuts.

    Thing is that stuff is all tame now as even Nu Labour were up to some of it. They have to invent new ways of unacceptable sexual behaviour while an MP.

    Though I doubt in 17 years time we will be saying Cameron was a good PM.....
