So cheers for that Chekov. <br />BTW in response to Cameron palying a danerous game- he's not. Most of middle England is subconsiously unionist. They don't think about it, but they'd miss it if it wasn't there. Certainly, having lived there for years, that's always the way I saw it. It's not instinctive as such, it's just buried in the deeper parts of their mindset. Does that make sense?lokinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623721153002721356.post-80650839040432692782009-07-13T21:59:30.504+01:002009-07-13T21:59:30.504+01:00Why am I 'persona non grata'?
