I was on Iain's Vox Politics show last night. Iain, Zoe, Christine Constable (of the English Democrats) and myself discussed a number of issues including youth anti social behaviour, health rationing and and English parliament.

Excellent performance on VOX James. Unfortunately end of day falls at my "start of sleep".
Cheers PT,
I'll check with the tech team at 18 DS and make sure I've got the download address right.
James
Yes it was an accomplished performance James. I'm sure you'll be invited back.
It was a pleasure to have you here. Shame I was stuck outside with the red wine and the rest of the papers!
Those download addresses look fine to me. Happy viewing guys!
You came across extremely well James.
I happen to disagree with you that an English parliament would destroy the Union - I think a federal system is the only way to prevent the continuance of 'rolling devolution' - but I sure as hell agreed with you a lot more than I did with Tim Montgomerie.
As far as I could tell he was either in favour of English Votes on English Matters, or in favour of doing nothing.
Both these options would be utterly disastrous for the Union. Besides which English Votes on English Matters doesn't work, and won't work no matter how long the Democracy Taskforce sit in deliberation. The fact that no Conservative MP can tell us how EVoEM would work in practice when the policy has been a manifesto pledge for the past three General Elections tells you all you need to know about the Conservative 'solution'.
Sir George Young's presence at the English Constitutional Convention spoke volumes - I was watching the look upon his face as he realised the enormity of the task that he faces in fobbing off the English with anything less than an affirmation of their nationhood; what you called the emotive case.
I screwed up sooooooo badly.
"The Fighting Temeraire, tugged to her Last Berth to be broken up" wasn't by Constable it was by Turner.
I feel such a fool.
Don't try to make me feel better about this, I'm inconsolable.
