that's funny because reading through your article.... it seems that both sides agree on this one

"One Conservative MP, Aidan Burley, also tweeted that the event was “leftie multicultural crap.” A left-wing MP for the Labor party, Paul Flynn, tweeted that, ”wonderfully progressive socialist sentiments and ideas were smuggled into the opening romp.”

cheers!!!

No, you have partisan politicians trying to make the most out of it.

I'm talking about the idiots here that want to bash volunteerism and a world class charity children's hospital.

guess you missed it but I'm accustomed to "progressives" swearing up and down that they aren't "socialists"....odd to see the two openly joined at the hip, so to speak and coming from the mouth of a progressive/socialist...but they're a little farther down the "Road" across the pond aren't they....they should just stick with "third way"...but it's not very catchy

that's only because from left to right it's just varying degrees of statism for the most part....which makes American Conservatism truly unique(ask any Eurpoean that has been here for any period of time )...true Conservatives recognize the individual's inailenable rights and liberties and their primacy over the State's dictate, most others expect the individual to be subordinate to the state which is why American Conservative keep fighting for individual liberty/responsibility and limited government and Europeans and the American left and progressives from both sides continue to fight for larger more expansive centralized governemnt (EU) power and influence and continually diminish the role and responsibilities of the individual......
