Herod's Men BY: Lee Duigon Did you ever wonder what kind of men would carry out King Herod’s orders to go to Bethlehem and kill all children two years old and under? This event is recorded in the Bible in Matthew 2:16-18, but it is not recorded that any of Herod’s men balked at the assignment. As we see from history, they never do. They always follow orders, no matter how unjust or crass...

Iain Dale makes a good point today about the way in which the media treated UKIP during the Norwich North by-election, and generally. On the face of it UKIP do appear, like the BNP, to be a bit of a one-trick pony, and certainly with policies more relevant to a European election than a UK one. But in actual fact it is at the level of the UK Government that decisions will be made about membership of...

Day 12 Sorry this is late…..I seem to have less and less time and am running on four to five hours sleep a night. We reviewed the video of the game against Canada this morning. There was heavy rain all morning and we made the decision to cancel the short practice we had planned and moved up the rest period. After lunch Alex Williams joined us and stayed for the afternoon practice session. The...

Just realized that there are details about the tour that I’ve left out. We practice at the fields at RAF Halton and the first couple of days we had the England Women’s 7’s team on the field next to us as they prepared for the European 7’s Championships in Hanover, Germany. Since then we have been on our own with the exception of the people who walk their dogs around the outside...

This week is of course the last full week in Parliament before recess, although we're back on the following Monday and Tuesday and then I'm heading up to Norwich to do my bit in the by-election campaign. Gordon is making a statement at 3.30pm tomorrow on the G8 summit, and then we have the remaining stages of the Political Parties and Elections Bill. There's been a bit of debate about an amendment...
