I think the best thing I can contribute is a hymn that I wrote for the Gloucestershire Branch of The Royal Society of St. George’s Annual St. George’s Day Service in Gloucester Cathedral. The Service fills the Cathedral each year with representatives from many strands of English life. It was honoured with the presence of HRH The [...]

I thought when that happened the Conservatives would stop altogether and say 'we can't go on like this, this is impossible', that they would make it impossible for another member of Parliament from Scotland to be prime minister. But they haven't done that at all. They've taken it like lambs.
