The entire article is good, in my opinion. I've only posted the last paragraph below.
Cameron knows the risks of nationalism – but doesn’t care if he splits the country
Rafael Behr

"It represents the right not to have to choose sides – a right that nationalism always eventually denies. English nationalism has the potential to inflict that choice on many more people, and is all the more dangerous as a result. I might forgive Cameron if I thought he didn’t understand this. It frightens me that he doesn’t seem to care."

From the G.
Labour’s Keith Vaz has been disturbing the peace in his target constituency Leicester East. Tory rivals have lodged a formal complaint to the council over his use of a loud-hailer during his election campaign.

Loud-hailers aren't allowed? Finest campaigning tool ever made.

I see The Times is leading on a tax story which, after reading it becomes slightly less toxic.

Labour chief given £1.5m shares from tax haven
Labour’s fiercest critic of tax avoidance and “secretive” offshore funds has received more than £1.5 million in shares from the tax haven of Liechtenstein. The money came through a controversial scheme that lets wealthy Britons move undeclared assets back to the UK without facing criminal action. Margaret Hodge, who made her name taking on tax avoiders as head of the public accounts committee, was among the beneficiaries in 2011 of the winding-up of a Liechtenstein trust that held shares in the private steel-trading business set up by her father. The Times has discovered that just under 96,000 Stemcor shares handed to Ms Hodge in 2011 came from the tiny principality, which is renowned for low tax rates. Three quarters of the shares in the family’s…
Right.

I also note that the idiot Toady Young calls her a hypocrite.

Tell me again what did she do?

Oh, she received something set up by her father. Maybe if she'd then placed in an offshore trust they might have a point unless of course they're accusing her of advising her old man to do this.

:toss:

Night all! That same Cybernatter was offensive the other day, I think. About the girl on the TV who was nice about Jim Murphy.

What's that bit about undeclared assets?

She did, I presume, declare them?

Very happy to see that, suggests slight Tory advances yesterday were statistical variation rather than a trend.

i am not quite sure it is wholly accurate to only describe the author of the State in Capitalist Society as a removals man.
:D He says something like 'he was a removals man by day', doesn't he?

Anyway it's a good broadcast - got a touch of the West Wings about it ... - well made and keeps you watching all the way through. Maybe this is the touch of Axelrod in evidence.


This dropped onto my social media earlier and was getting good response, many surprised at how ok he seemed, a few milifans, but mainly very positive, though you cannot escape kippers anywhere, they seemed to get siloed into sub conversations where they were roundly demolished.

That does sound like good news. Let's hope that the OU might be able to get its PGCE course back in place, too.
