		<description><![CDATA[Watching Question Time. Bob Crow should note that the WWII fiscal situation where the British government had to borrow madly was only rectified, i.e. repaid, in 2006. It&#8217;s not exactly the socialist paradise he&#8217;s implying. And he refused to admit that the country is broke.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Alan Shadrake&#8217;s out on bail, he is not free, as the headline of the article in the Guardian implies. If the government thinks someone is rightly or wrongly making them look bad, they will never bow to pressure to give up. Maybe I&#8217;m way too cynical, but this smacks of a publishing publicity stunt purely [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Par for the course publicity stunt, I reckon &#8211; British author gets arrested in Singapore for writing a book about the Singapore judiciary and the death sentence. In any other officially democratic country, there would be real outrage. In Singapore, it&#8217;s practically a yawn-fest and clearly designed by the author or publisher to grab headlines.

		<description><![CDATA[Oh dear. Apparently, possession or distribution of this video in Singapore is punishable by a two-year jail term and a S$10,000 fine. This paranoia is nothing new. If a speech &#8212; factually accurate or not &#8212; by a former political prisoner could really cause &#8216;disunity&#8217; or &#8216;trouble&#8217; amongst the public, one must wonder how stable [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ah! The emergency budget is out. It sounds fair to me. I just wish we could actually see where all that tax revenue went &#8212; maybe the data on government spending, if someone is driven enough to crunch the numbers, will help clear that up. I love politics, but I hate politics too. I&#8217;m tired [...]]]></description>
