Obstrobogulous oniomania...

Very good, had me singing along like a good'un! Hat-tip to Dan the Man: "The short clip above restates the case for Austrian economics in a seasonal way. Perhaps you have to be an economist or a politician not to see its point." Dan also has a great post about Pleb Plodgate where his words mirror my own opinion (and it is very hard for me with direct family and dozens of friends 'connected') "I try to give the police the benefit of the doubt, but it's becoming harder and harder." The post has a link to the VERY prescient words of Charles Moore from back in September:

"If you read the police log of the incident, you will see that the words attributed to Mr Mitchell are the sort of thing that people think nasty toffs would say to them. It is as crude as if a gang of dim toffs were to testify that a policeman had said to them, ‘Allo allo, what’s all this then? You’re nicked, sunshine.’"
