That “glorification of terrorism” nonsense has just passed in the Lords. To say that the tactics of Nelson Mandela and his allies in opposing apartheid achieved a good thing and were laudible will shortly – technically – become illegal. Hurrah.
To cheer yourselves up after that, check out Blunkett’s pathetic excuses about that loans business, and join in the heckling in the comments. Great fun – Comment is Free proving its worth after a lackluster opening week.

The other day, when i was out on my political march jaunt, I realised that one of the organisers was chanting "globalise the intifada".
I suddenly was pulled aback. Um, if I join in, am I glorifying terrorism? Afterall, for Israelis the intifada was bombings and killings of civilans.
This law is going to cause more problems than it solves.

Those Blunkett comments are priceless… I do hope someone's reading them to him…
