Dadmanly questions whether attempts at multicultrualism rather than integration are partly to blame for the rise in Islamic terrorism: “I have been watching events unfold with our British Allies.

Once again the award that simply will not go away has returned. Two new proud recipients are unveiled on an unsuspecting world. The first receipient, is a fellow Warnie, although Dave Warnock says he has never been called that nickname. Perhaps something to do with his methodist sensibilities?

My notes are already online, audio is also now available UpdateI just got an email from a reader who believes Love should be defined as “valuing”.
