Snooker champ Eddie Charlton dies. He was a figure from my childhood, since Dad liked watching Pot Black. (We were a very ABC family.)
The Euro-Trio agree to keep the dreaded Anglo-Saxons at bay.
The people of North-East England really don’t want a regional assembly.
A Dutch novelist who had been subject to Theo van Gogh’s invective reflects on his murder. (Also reminds us that Pim Fortuyn was assassinated by an animal-rights extremist who wanted to stop him ‘making Muslims scapegoats’.) A dissident Muslim writer also reflects on the murder. Hmmm, this is only a free-speech issue if the owner of the wall the mural was on gave permission for the mural. But the Netherlands have an on-going internal problem with radical Islam. Is pc making the Dutch debate a bit surreal?
Sigh. A critique of Bernard Lewis views on Islam. (Which would be more persuasive if it got his views correct.) The Fukuyama versus Krauthammer fight over Iraq policy.

Laurie Ferguson, an unusual contemporary Labor politician in that he has been known to defend working-class culture, annoys people again. (But the proletariat have long since become rednecks.) Via tcpip, (who has a very definite take).
