Different club, different manager (although Gary Megson worked his magic at City too in the past), same story. This article says it all.
Is there a pithy phrase for the way waste spirals down the toilet bowl - it might be more appropriate than ‘managerial merry-go-round’.
Still, ticket prices might be cheaper in League One…

What do you do if you want to know more about energy policy? Well, arrange a visit to a power station of course. Today, I spent a fascinating couple of hours being shown around Sutton Bridge power station on the banks of the River Nene in south Lincolnshire (together with Alex Foster and three Lib [...]

On campus at Sussex Uni today - spotted a poster advertising future speakers for the Politics Society. It included Lib Dem Home Affairs spokesman Nick Glegg…
No honours for those politics students then but it could have been worse - they could have invited Norman Glam…or Ed Gravey… or Lembit Opik…

Paddy O’Connell is without doubt the best presenter on national radio. I’ve been warming recently to Nicky Campbell (I’ve always felt Campbell was lot less clever than he thought, while Simon Mayo was a lot cleverer than he thought, but Campbell is winning me over.)

Interesting question from my sister. She was refering to local authority pension funds investing in the arms trade.
I was involved in a lively discussion among Hampshire Lib Dems last year about the position the County Group should take over the issue. The argument against stipulating that pension funds should invest in ethical funds is that [...]
