Things to read

I’m too preoccupied with essays at the moment to do any lengthy blogging, I’m afraid. But here are a couple of things you should read. One is essential, the other is so you can have a giggle.

First up, read Lasantha Wickrematunga’s piece on CiF now. Don’t do anything else. Just read it. All. NOW.

It was good, wasn’t it? A great reminder that a) Britain is NOT, yet, in any way shape or form a police state; and b) That it’s worth fighting to keep it that way.

Of course, it’s also more than that. It’s the spookily prophetic voice from beyond the grave of a principled and courageous man. Hopefully the newspaper he helped found will live on.

Secondly, somebody writing on the Daily Telegraph advocates a return to the Gold Standard. Nope, seriously. It’s so funny it’s tragic….
