What’s the difference between Gordon Brown and the Ashes Urn? During times of national crises the Ashes Urn doesn’t leave the country!
Let’s get one thing straight this morning, the reason Parlez~me~’n~Tory has not blogged for quite a few days is quite simply The Ashes, the most important sporting moment in an Englishman’s heart.

Staying put!
You will, by now, be under no illusion as to where the little urn is to reside for the next 2 years, and that is all that matters.
During the past 24 days of cricket this summer it has been one hell of a rollercoaster as it usually is but this year was special and therefore the boys needed my full support; it worked out well and I feel justified for giving it my all.
Now we can move onto preparing for the return of the Government from the beach and begin to call to question some of the unpalatable decisions made by #GoBro and his henchmen (that includes Hattie Harman).
But, and it is a biggy, let’s make this absolutely clear if I hear one word out of Gordon Brown’s mouth about how he wishes The Ashes team well or how it his investment in frontline sport that made it happen I will personally grab him by the googly’s and play with his Balls all day long!
#GoBro, it’s not about you, it’s about the real cricket fans who did not want to see that urn leave this country, as for you they would happily pay for your air fare!
