[…] debacle, not to mention the last decade’s inflation of the housing market and the vast personal debt in this country. (And, unless something is done – by Brown and Darling; you think? – we will get more of the same.) Reduce local state control of the environment and you get Tesco, Sainsbury and Walmart […]
[…] the book is devoted to the often shocking testimony of prisoners, both those still inside and protesting their innocence, and those who have been released, including Robert Brown, who was convicted of murder in 1977 after being fitted up by corrupt police officers, and released in 2002 after serving 25 years, all the time […]

[…] to benefit from contracts awarded in Iraq and Afghanistan. Halliburton was the largest single contractor in Iraq in 2004 and its former subsidiary, KBR Inc. (a.k.a.

Gordon Brown would argue that it means getting an immediate surge in public investment without a return to ‘boom and bust’. But specific one-off cases, like the Ecclestone […]
[…] Prince of Darkness. American imperialism is the agency of God’s salvation. George W. Bush is the Angel of the Lord. And so on. It sounds crazy. Dan Brown (The Da Vinci Code) could never have got away with it. Northcott nonetheless believes that it is a ‘powerful cultural and religious force in modern America’. […]

Sir Ken was praised by Tony Blair in a video distributed to the union, and was endorsed by Gordon Brown over lunch at an Amicus AEEU conference in Blackpool. Under Sir Ken, lest we forget, Amicus had donated £2m to Labour’s 2001 election fund. (3) Meanwhile, […]
