What's in a name?

Intriguing that Andy Coulson's departure from No.10 is alleged to cut the Conservatives off from the opinions of ordinary voters.

Cos he has a big house in South London and a GBP70,000 sports car.

He also follows Tottenham Hotspur which is a very clumsy segue-way to joining in the protest against Spurs taking over and demolishing the olympic stadium after 2012.

I liked the notion that if Tottenham Hotspur moved, they couldn't keep the name Tottenham. Might seem a bit harsh, but hey, look what happened to Woolwich Arsenal.

Once the Conservatives moved into No. 10, they've had to drop a whole series of pre-names such as big-society and all-in-it-together.
