This is (the beginning of) a collection of angry ravings on (mostly political) subjects. I don't think they're of much value or use, but they may as well be here rather than languishing in the depths of my hard disk.
Why does "Free Tibet" do so well, while "Free Iraq" doesn't even exist?
A note about the future, which doesn't look too bright right now.
All the documents relating to Craig Murray's book, Murder in Samarkand, which the Government doesn't want you to have. That's just too bad.
This is a complaint letter to the BBC, and their reply.
A short note about the media's incompetence in presenting the facts about Iraq.
A short note on silliness in speeches from British politicians about education. Nothing particularly profound.
This is observing Tony Blair's desperation to persuade us that Iran is evil.
My letters to my local paper, on various topics.
A rather shocking commentary from Gordon Brown on the Iraq war.
Some slightly disjointed comments on the state of parliamentary democracy in the UK. Perhaps I'll knock them into better shape at some point.
This is about Tony Blair's claims of innocence that the BBC has faithfully reported.
This is about the journalist David Aaronovitch; it's essentially about this column. It's selected more-or-less at random: I've not read a significantly better one by him.
This one's about the meaning of the words "Free Market". It was originally sent to a student of economics who described it as "interesting"; I cannot say anything that could recommend it less than that fact.
I wrote this because I was angry at the BBC for peddling obvious nonsense, thinly disguised as news.
This was written in answer to the letter by Keith Gilmour on 25th November 2003. My response was published on the 27th, but edited for brevity. This is the full version.
