But this is what happens when you give in to a bully. The bullying gets worse, more widespread and more audacious.

Stalking, is what it is.

That's at least three dodgy hits on QBs this week?

Among yesterday's arrestees is Deborah Hinton, an 81-year old retired magistrate with an OBE.
That's Yvette Cooper's idea of a terrorist.
Language has been turned on its head.
The law has been turned on its head.
Murdering children is righteous.
Trying to stop it is terrorism.

Over the past two years, the wind has shifted and the moral questions surrounding the Saudi golf league have virtually stopped being asked. Fortunately, Eamon Lynch is still asking them.
