    As I said to Charon in his weekly review yesterday, it’s time I blogged again about Pakistan. The outcome of the elections means the next government is almost certain to be a coalition between the Pakistan People’s Party, formerly […]

    February 21, 2008

    Now I’m sniffling and snuffling my way to coherence, there seems an awful lawt to blawg about. So bear with me in the next few days, even if I seem unbearable.

    February 21, 2008

    It was due to a very busy period followed by a bloody, bloody cold keeping me off blogging for a while.

    Carl Gardner
    February 8, 2008

    I just knew there was going to be a pro-Williams backlash today. To be fair to the people who’ve stepped up to the plate, they’re brave in taking an unpopular stance. But I’m so, soooo in disagreement with them that […]
