Charlie, the leader of a white nationalist group, leaned over the sticky pub table. He pointed a big finger at me and locked eyes. “You better not turn out to be an infiltrator for Hope Not Hate,” he said. I froze. Flanked by several of his lieutenants, Charlie watched, waiting for my response. His face softened into a smile. He started laughing and yanked down his collar, pretending to talk into a hidden microphone. “Abort! Abort!” he shouted. I played along, lifting up my wrist like there was a wire stashed in my cuff. “Get me out of here!” I yelled into my sleeve. “They’ve discovered me!” Charlie was right to be suspicious of me. I was, in fact, an infiltrator for the anti-fascist organisation Hope Not Hate. The only thing he got wrong was the location of my microphone: it wasn’t in my collar but strapped to my chest.

2. Telegraph blames Miliband for BP and Shell merging (which is not happening)

A thread I will update every time I see the Telegraph blame Ed Miliband for something.

1. BP cutting jobs - "Will those about to lose their livelihoods forgive the politicians whose eco-zealotry cost them their jobs?"

If you make a gag about bad grammar, you need to make sure that you don't do screw up yourself - this from Car Dealer mag... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma_s...
It utilises a bespoke font and, bizarrely, combines upper and lower case letters to spell the word out as ‘JaGUar’. I fear for the pedants, this grammatical horror could be a step too far.

Northern Ireland is really missing a trick on tourism. This portal tomb is thought to be at least 3,000 years old, and there isn't even a sign on the road to it. www.irelandseye.com/aarticles/tr... Anyone near Broughshane or Ballymena should pop by. Directions here: g.co/kgs/G2Upftr

Quite surprising to see the Economist citing Matthew Goodwin as an "expert on the radical right"....
