Gay lions, the wisdom of four-year olds, poppies, and cuddly Marxists...

Hard not to agree with the little twerp for once - even though this is pretty much exactly what he was saying about the Labour Party this time last year.  It's also hard to disagree with any of the following tweets: 

Meanwhile, this is an interesting question:

I'm not sure - but probably when Richard Ingrams was editing it. This month's prize for pretending your child said something that fits your political agenda when they obviously said no such thing goes to...

The rest of us would just like to thank Hillary from our bottom, Michael. Perhaps someone should slip Mateo Ali a book by Thomas Sowell:

Yup. The same, of course, is true of many Britons. Out of habit, I switched on Radio 4 late last night while making a last cup of tea - and switched it off 20 seconds later, having inadvertently stumbled upon a programme described as follows:

And it's good to see that America's left-wing media has removed its collective tongue from Barack Obama's sphincter:

Sorry- my mistake! It's still firmly wedged up there. As for this next story - I simply refuse to believe it:

Well, I bet all those sceptics who claimed that the Southern Rail drivers' strike was all about money rather than passenger safety (as the drivers had claimed) will be feeling jolly silly now!

Any conservative or right-winger looking for silver lining in these distinctly overcast times might derive some comfort from the following observation:
