WTF?
Perhaps the pen is mightier than the sword. Still, it makes you realise how fortunate we are...

About Me
- Richard Thomson
- After a few years working in the financial sector, I jumped the fence and now work as a political researcher. After a spell as Head of Campaigns at SNP HQ, I worked in the Scottish Parliament as a researcher. I then spent a year in Westminster before returning to Scotland. I now live and work in Aberdeenshire. When not working, I play the fiddle (when it suits) in various ceilidh bands, and write for the 'Scots Independent' Newspaper and website.

me too!! Is that a badge of honour we now share?
I guess so. Given that I'm very often critical of the US and British governments in what I write both here and elsewhere, and to my knowledge have never written a single syllable in criticism of the Chinese authorities, it is a bit surprising.
Is it down to a blanket ban on letting people in China read about how politics is conducted elsewhere, or a simple fear of the power of ideas? Either way, I guess if I lived in China as things stand, my life, assuming I still had it, would be less than easy...
Have you heard Mr. Straw's latest outburst? (on my blog)
Oh, sit back and enjoy while Labour steer straight into the iceberg!
Quite right. those people have enough to cope with.
