The foreign news coverage of the latter is particularly good and I for one would miss it if it was gone.

Charles Utley became quite exercised about them, and pointed out Leveson is typical of a certain kind of modern jurist who simply loves regulations and sees them as a panacea. <br /><br />The Grauniad, of course, favours any enhancement to the State. The Speccie deserves a big boost in subscriptions, and if it makes liberty the heart of its message, might well get them. <br /><br />Will you be commenting on the Rotherham swing?Calvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10640148105202971907noreply@blogger.com
