Privatization of government functions usually leads to doing them badly. One must not be surprised that privatized forensic analysis has put 10,000 British criminal cases in doubt.

The Tories seem strangely reluctant to take any action to limit the tax-dodging revealed in recent links.

Police officer Sean Suiter in Baltimore, waiting to testify about corruption in the thug department, was murdered.
