London is the sporting capital of the world. I say to the Chinese and I say to the world, ping pong is coming home.

Remind me: who was the greater mass murderer, Stalin or Hitler? Well, Stalin is thought to have been responsible for about 50 million deaths, and Hitler for a mere 25 million. What Hitler did in his concentration camps was equalled if not exceeded in foulness by the Soviet gulags, forced starvation and pogroms. What makes the achievements of communist Russia so special and different, that you can simper around in a CCCP T-shirt, while anyone demented enough to wear anything commemorating the Third Reich would be speedily banged away under the 1986 Public Order Act?

This is a super masticated subject, and it is time to spit it out.

Since January 1993 there have been 27 other countries not in the EU that have done better than the UK at exporting goods into the single market.

David Lloyd George had been to Germany, and been so dazzled by the Führer that he compared him to George Washington. Hitler was a 'born leader', declared the befuddled former British Prime Minister. He wished that Britain had 'a man of his supreme quality at the head of affairs in our country today'. This from the hero of the First World War! The man who had led Britain to victory over the Kaiser!

We celebrate the contribution of people who have come to this country to make it better.

My ideal world is, we're there, we're in the EU, trying to make it better.
