Jeremy Corbyn is an atheist. He does not believe in God, never mind Sainthood, yet he promises a largely atheist country that it can have Saint George's Day as a Bank Holiday. Is this an attempt to make Catholicism (since only Catholics honour the Saints, and we do it daily) "for the many, not...

Every chance that he will turn them into Fleetwood Kak…

If only Murray had tampered with the ball before he took his penalty on Saturday, the ball would have been aimed to Schmeichel’s left, Schmeichel would have guessed correctly, and then watched helplessly as the ball reverse-swung to his right. That would have given the pundits something to talk...

If you want to dig up ancient history...the Tories had a Jewish prime minister, in the 19th century, and Margaret Thatcher had a lot of Jews in her cabinet and government. But the past is not the issue here. The issue is the views of the man (and those of his acolytes) who would be leader of...

Meanwhile, the Palace fans who did much worse at the Amex continue to attend football matches unhindered.

The attendance for the Hull v Barnsley game last night was 14,000, and I believe that the weather was no better up there.

The attendance at the Madejski last night was 6,769. And to think that they once (in March 2002) sang to us: "What's it like to see a crowd?"

I visit friends in both Krakow and Florence. My friend in Krakow takes me to Cracovia Krakow games, so I follow them, and my friend in Florence takes me to Fiorentina games, so they are my Italian team. In April, I will move to Brno, to be with my fiancée, so I will start going to Zbrojovka Brno...

What I have written about Corbyn is not twaddle. It is the truth.

Did they vote for him in spite of his avowed Marxism or because of it?

Perhaps you would care to answer my question above?
