And to see so many politically aware and astute young people (sorry if that sounds patronising - it's not meant to!). I didn't think they existed anymore. we are in a minority. last time i met any significant number of my contemporaries they got about as far as "well i think England should hav...

Fantastic news. I hope I do that well in a year's time!
