Dear Diary,
It is encouraging to note that decent things seem to be happening, and even more encouraging to see most of them emanating from the Courts.
In a Judgment of remarkable terseness, the Divisional Court (Moses LJ and Sullivan J) have comprehensively demonstrated that the Government gave in to Saudi Arabia and was, effectively, complicit [...]

Dear Diary,
Things are getting complicated out there in Chavville UK. It seems to be possible that Shannon Matthews was not necessarily kidnapped, but was rather asked to hide in the base of a bed as a prank, or perhaps for a reward of a double whopper, extra-large fries and a gigantic coke. Meanwhile, the family [...]

Dear Diary,
I am thrilled to have time to spend with you once more. I have been ‘under the cosh’ in recent weeks, due to the need to earn enough money to support what is, by common consent, a plain and unshowy lifestyle. However, one needs the spondulicks even for that. I am now able to [...]

Dear Diary,
It may be remembered that I have had occasion previously to discuss the antics of Mr Aamar Anwar, solicitor of the parish of Strathclyde. It is only fair to point out that Mr Anwar was previously quoted in September, a mere 3 months after the bomb attack on Glasgow Airport. So he probably was [...]

Of course, until recently there has [...]

Dear Diary,
As a normal rule, an act is not an omission and the law differentiates between the two. As with most rules, there is an exception which takes place today. Omitting to speak for two minutes at 11 o’clock is an act of remembrance and solidarity. One need not approve of particular wars to understand [...]

Dear Diary,
Those gorgeous rockers got it right when they sang the above. As the Madonna of the Yardwinder sits snugly in PC Clod’s safe, there are wheels within wheels.
It will be remembered that Mr Calum Jones, solicitor, of HBJ Gateley Waring had an “interesting but benign” explanation of how he came to be involved. The [...]

Dear Diary,
Apparently, the terrorist attacks on London could have been avoided if only British law enforcement agencies had acted on information supplied by Saudi Arabia. This information, which exists entirely in the imagination of King Abdullah Ibn Saud, has been put front and centre as the noble monarch of the mutilated hands visits London on a [...]

Due to overwhelming public interest Mistress Ruthie will be making herself available (in a purely social sense) at the Cafe Royal bar on the 22nd October from 6.30 pm onwards.
Do come along and bring your blogging chums, and for the price of a beer Ruthie will autograph your Archbold. No seriously, following a number of [...]
