Drinking beer at lunch time is great – and fun, even though it wrecks me for the rest of the day. But drinking beer at lunch time wearing a suit and tie seems to me to be seriously crap. This is a shame as I think Monsieur Farage’s crack about the EU having “caused” the […]

Soon we’ll be remembering this – the 32nd G8, as having been the “Good Old Days”. This morning, I just heard an American G8 (now G7) spokesman say that “Until Russia stops upsetting all the work the G8 has done in stabilising the world since the Cold War, we don’t need to talk to it
