God save little shops, china cups and virginity

When I saw that this lyric was used as a post title in Jonathan Calder's Liberal England blog ("The No. 1 Liberal Democrat blog - Iain Dale's Guide to Political Blogging in the UK 2007-8 ") I was delighted, as it meant that I would have some interesting backhandedly ironic political meaning.

The post is actually about the seemingly successful conclusion to the campaign to preserve the collection of Kink's memorabilia in the Clissold Arms. It turns out that the Clissold Arms is across the street from the Davies brothers' childhood home and was the first place they played in public. So now it's on my list of places to try and have a look at someday.
