The head of Counter Terrorism at Scotland Yard, Commander Shaun Sawyer, has finally admitted it was one of his men who stopped me at St Pancras over a year ago.
He goes on to defend such action on the grounds that Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000 allows police officers [so why was he in [...]

April 28, 2009 | Comments Off
Editor, Daily Telegraph.
Sir
Simon Heffer’s clinical dismemberment of what remains of the Labour body politic (15 April) also claims that it has “yet to develop a Gulag”. But it has.

Sir
Lord Oakeshott joins in the chorus to abolish tax havens (Daily Mail 31 March) without, it seems, understanding their true benefit to all of us.

Two weeks ago I reported the Bulgarian government lobbying MEPs to support the continued supply of British taxpayers’ funds to their corrupt government. Further enquiries have revealed just how politically corrupt Bulgaria is, and apparently always was.
