I dunno, 83 year old priests and human rights lawyers are right up there with Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein for me

Only need 608, should be fine. Can we manage to get through to the end of the day without chucking one or two wickets away?

Exactly as the government were advised, but chose to ignore, the proscription of Palestine Action is already turning into a farce. A lawyer on Radio 4 said that from what he could establish there's already been thousands of offences committed inside the first 24 hours. The police and the courts...
