 Semifinals: Kelvin Hoon vs. Mikael Polgary
Hoon failed to draw his second color and had to settle for another plains playing out a morph, but it was easy pickings for a Skirk Marauder, which cleared the way for the team to enter the red zone backed up by a freshly summoned Wirewood Elf.
Hoon was unphased and played out a Glarecaster and jokingly asked Polgary had the Pinpoint Avalanche, which Polgary was more than happy to flash, and used it on his next turn to knock it out of the skies.

 Geoff Hoon and Compulsory Voting
Hoon, who returned to Britain yesterday after studying the Australian compulsory voting system, said that voters there were fined about £10 if they failed to give a good reason for not voting.
Of course, we shouldn’t expect Hoon to reach the conclusion that the reason increasing numbers of people do not vote is because there is nobody to vote for—or nobody who represents their interests.
Hoon want to give the police “the powers they wanted” (to smash down doors and hold people without official charge) but he wants the people of Britain to vote for their own emasculation or face criminal fine.
