Read my article in The Times about how people like me are being silenced by back seat drivers and how the only way to promote open debate is to silence them back.

No one cares much about hustings. They are attended by a folk who have made up their minds. Maybe that's changed a little now there is a bit more social media coming out of them, but used to be candidates would avoid them at all costs.

Football has some big issues but I am dead against criticising it for its own sake. Very snobby thing to do. If someone comes up and tells me they're in to choral performance I feign interest and I expect the same courtesy

As a Scot living in London that means I have to suck up regular bouts of stuff coming home, satiating myself by going on the windup when it inevitably doesn't. It's easier at the moment because the England team seems to be mainly composed of nice lads that mean well.

However I think what a lot of England fans and the BBC simply don't get is that in football terms they are Germany to us. No-one expects England to be happy when Germany wins the World Cup but I am regularly challenged on why I wont back England to win major tournaments.
