They died in vain
EU Referendum (subscribe) | 08/11/2009 | International
The Sunday Telegraph is amongst several newspapers who link the erosion of democracy with Remembrance Day, and thence to the point we made recently about the paradox of fighting for "democracy" in Afghanistan, when we have given away our own. Our ancestors fought for our freedom, and the current generation is fighting and dying in Afghanistan for the same cause. Yet it is indisputable that those freedoms... -

First reviews of Modern Warfare 2 published: Two perfect scores
CrunchGear (subscribe) | 3 hours ago | Video Games
So to recap: nobody has been given permission to sell Modern Warfare 2 early. It's a crazy Internet rumor that has no basis in reality. But it's happening like whoa. What is based in reality is that the first reviews of the game have started appearing online, and they're all from UK newspapers. A strange place to see the first reviews of what's probably going to end up being the biggest game of the... -

Happy Freedom Day
Turbulence Ahead (subscribe) | yesterday | International
Today should have been a holiday across Europe, one celebrating freedom. What happened twenty years ago in Berlin was truly extraordinary: people power writ large - ordinary people writing history. But it isn't a holiday, perhaps because we take our freedom too much for granted in Ireland ; in Europe too, for that matter. And we take the material comfort and life choices provided by free market democracy...

UK proposes new tax on banks, Geithner rejects
AMERICAblog (subscribe) | 08/11/2009 | Politics
The "Tobin Tax" has been kicked around a lot lately as one possible option. France and Germany were recently promoting the idea and now, the UK has come on board. It's easy to understand that not everyone will always agree on policies such as this though it's becoming hard to see when Geithner and Obama will ever ask the financial businesses to contribute their fair share . If not this, what? When?... -

Labour's private polling says it could lose 220 of its MPs
ConservativeHome's ToryDiary (subscribe) | yesterday | Politics
Jackie Ashley reveals the sensational fact in her Monday Guardian column: "Some Labour people may think I'm sounding too gloomy, but those who have been privy to recent private polling are a lot more than gloomy. This suggests that Labour could return to the Commons with just 120 MPs or thereabouts, taking the party back to 1930s territory. As ministers look for jobs to keep themselves going after... -

Politicians' twaddle
Dr Grumble (subscribe) | 08/11/2009 | Politics
Will politicians learn from the Nutt case? Dr Grumble doubts it. They do not want to listen to scientists when formulating their policies on the misuse of drugs. They want to do what they believe the public wants. That is their prerogative. They don't have to accept scientific advice but they should be prepared to meet head on the fact that their policy is not evidence-based. It is wrong for them to... -
