The day that started with me opening a copy of the Times and witnessing one of the most sick making political photos I've seen. The subject was the Camerons. David looking thoughtfully out of a window while Sam lies across him. Clearly posed, if this is a way to win votes, then what hope is there.
Meanwhile the Times at least focussed on another Green target seat - Norwich South. - explaining it was a four way marginal. A decent well balanced article

Away from the election the T20 World Cup saw England proceed to the Super 8s in a most unsatisfactory way. On a pudding of a pitch England limped to 120 largely thanks to Eoin Morgan , against ireland who really are a club standard side. Ireland's innings started before the rains came, but the game was abandonned. Meaning that although England qualified, far too many of these games have been rain affected. I sense the organisers wanted to take the games to Guyana for the best of motives, however the prevailing weather conditions needed to be considered. Perhaps some of the islandfs in the Caribbean would have been a wiser choice.
The Guardian claims that Arsene Wenger is lining up a bid for Manchester City's Joe Hart. I think all arsenal fans would be relieved if they thought that a new keeper was on the horizon but unless Hart is soon out of contract I can see no reason why City should want to do business.
