As DK kindly points out, in the postscript to this post, I’m the kind of leftie who likes to do the research and back up my arguments with evidence, so when I run into disputes such as this one:
Narrative #2: but, of course, one of the most popular narratives that the Left love to employ [...]

It’s time for a quick update on the ongoing SSG/SPCK saga and J Mark Brewer’s efforts to obtain a bankruptcy order in the US court on behalf of a UK charity and if you’ve been following any of this you should be delighted to know that Brewer’s bankruptcy application was heard yesterday and dismissed with [...]

Ordinarily, there’s nothing particularly unusual in stories of senior civil servants and local government officials scoring themselves a jolly junket on the public purse on the pretext of attending a course given by some sort of bullshit management guru nor in the press complaining that this amounts to a waste of public money.
What makes this [...]

It seems that Blogosphere’s quixotic ‘relationship’ with the UK’s abysmal libel laws has reached a new low.
Harry’s Place is currently ‘offline’ as a result of what appears to be a wholly vexatious threat of libel action levelled at the company which hosts it DNS entry as a result of its having revealed that Jenna Delich, [...]

If there’s one thing I try to make a point of, even though comes pretty easily to me, its that of never trying to defend the indefensible. There are certain things you encounter in life that are just plain wrong, no matter how you try to look at them – and Holocaust denial is one [...]

Time to get back in the saddle, and what better way to kick things off than by adding yet another name to the growing list of vexatious would-be libel litigants – and on this occasion it not an Uzbek oligarch or Texas-based shyster but one of the UK’s leading purveyors of woo, the British Chiropractic [...]

Been a bit quiet for a while, but with good reason as I’ve been working on giving the Ministry a bit of a makeover.
