Curmudgeonly views on the news of the day
You've heard of "Disgusted, Tunbridge Wells"? Well, I live in Holland Park and I've Had It. Up to here! An old curmudgeon, I rant and rave about things I read, see or hear in the News. Frequently sarcastic, irreverent and libertarian; often wrong - but never uncertain.
"An extradition treaty between Washington and Berne obliged Switzerland to act, without question, on any arrest warrant issued by the US authorities"
I hold no brief for Polanski, but weren't a couple of revolutions fought against imprisonment on a government's simple say-so? And here I thought the Swiss guarded their freedom and neutrality so zealously. Shows how much I know.
