Now for the cover-up

The thing to remember about philosophers is that when they appear to have got it wrong, it is your fault for not understanding. I should have known that when the former football star Eric Cantona announced his bid for the French Presidency, and wrote to 50,000 mayors as is required, he was in fact just complaining about social housing.

It's a shame, he would have brightened the race up.

My new preferred candidate is Kendra Drider, a Muslim woman who is campaigning against the banning of the burqa. This blog is opposed to the State telling citizens how to dress.

Unfortunately I don't have a photograph of Ms Drider, since she is always covered up. We shall have to trust that it is indeed her on the campaign trail and not, say, Wayne Rooney.
