I woke this morning, satiated to the gunnels after years of writing course textbooks for law students, and determined that I should publish a book… and to this end I have created Man in a Hat Press to self publish my first Charon book. The next task was to come up with a title… without [...]

Happy Easter Whatever you believe in – enjoy your weekend. I’ll be keeping Insite Law up to date over the bank holiday period but the daily news podcasts, after today, won’t be resumed until Tuesday morning. I plan to do some blogging – who knows what the content will be? I don’t even know myself [...]

Posted in Charon on Wednesday, April 8, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Blawg Review #206: Tartan Week - All Things Scottish… is up… written by J. Craig Williams of May It Please The Court. I liked the quote – being a Scot myself… “Quote of the Day – Golf is an exercise in Scottish pointlessness for people who are no longer able to throw telephone poles at [...]
Handshake, Prime Minister?
Posted in Charon on Wednesday, April 8, 2009 | 3 Comments »
The President of The United States, has just shaken the police officer’s hand on his way into 10 Downing Street – a nice touch, and why not? Prime Mentalist Brown, not known (apparently) for his social grace, declines the officer. Nice one… Gordon… in touch with your people? The BBC has the video…
POLICE: What are you going to do now?
Posted in Charon on Tuesday, April 7, 2009 | 22 Comments »
The Guardian has a particlarly disturbing film of Ian Tomlinson being pushed over by a police officer. Tomlinson had his hands in his pockets, with his back to police and was walking away from them. He was pushed by an officer, and fell over with his hands still in his pockets. Ian Tomlinson died later. [...]

Postcard from London: 5th April

Well… what a week. I got up shortly before 5.00 am this morning. There were no gulls or cormorants. It was too early for them to be about. The G20 did not appear to have taken place for The News of The World – but I did discover that Jade Goody was given a Princess [...]
G20 Redux…

Is this the type of Policing we want in our country?
Posted in Charon on Thursday, April 2, 2009 | 34 Comments »
I have no patience with those who resort to violent protest, or worse, deliberately go to protests to provoke police and engage in violent acts against the police. Equally, I have no patience with Police when they exceed their powers and use violence. I watched this film with mounting anger and a sense of shame [...]

Shortly after dawn yesterday I put out my cigarette, climbed aboard a Tiger Tank purchased on ebay but hours before and rumbled up the King’s Road in Chelsea, heading for The City. Today my quest was different… to find President Sarkozy of France… it was going to be difficult to find him. Quite apart from [...]
