Have the Obama Administration kissed goodbye to some key Western values at the UN to placate global Islamists? Anne Bajevsky says "Hell, yes". A less angry but still concerned view here at Volokh Conspiracy: The resolution generally seems to be an attempt to urge more protection for free speech throughout the […]
If you bang on and on about something anonymously and unwisely on someone’s website, maybe that person will start trying to find out who you are. Then it just gets really embarrassing.
Labour are busy with their latest Dead Cat (as I gather it is known in the trade) strategising. The Dead Cat plan is simple. You identify a scrap of bad meat somewhere near your opponent’s house. Then start screaming at the top of your voice that your opponent has a […]
Here is Keith Hennessey surpassing himself by explaining stunningly complex climate change issues in a way real people like us can follow. This sort of brilliant work is noteworthy because it is just the sort of thing top decison-makers will in fact read. None of them have time to absorb […]

More on that self-proclaimed independent EU-sponsored Report on the 2008 Georgia conflict. Points of interest from it, as they come: The Mission had no access to intelligence reports: a serious setback, I’d say. Not least since the whole business was launched because of what Georgia + Washington ‘really’ thought Moscow […]
Not being an expert I am not sure what exactly counts as ideologically ‘feminist’ female writing (or not) these days. As one reader points out, Jennie Rigg is tackling the Polanski issue with vigour (and NB Naughty Words). As is Laura Woodhouse at the F-word, linking to a blunt demolition […]
