Hello and welcome to your weekend. As usual, here are our top five pieces from the week to get you through the two long days of leisure ahead.  This week we offer up:

  • An equal-opportunities offence piece on fox-hunting, which concludes that the anti-hunt brigade are motivated by class hatred and the hunting brigade by their own psychological inadequacies. 
  • A news story on the baptism of fire facing Michael Gove as the court system grinds to a halt
  • More sudden left-wing horror at the EU, as new details emerge of the secretive TTIP deal with 'le Anglo-Saxon economic model' US
  • A full and frank assessment of Boris Johnson's many under-reported failings
  • And a quick report on the untimely death of objective reality.
We find it goes down best with a glass of white wine. Enjoy your weekend.
