It's tougher than I thought, keeping this editing business going alongside the blog. But I'm deteremined to crack it...so apologies for the long periods without posts, and do please come back and see if I manage to stick to my guns this time.

I simply had to link to Daniel Finkelstein's superb piece today on the ludicrous G20 protestors:

I think that they have looked back at 5,000 years of human history - at pestilence and famine and disease and degradation, at genocide and civil war, at fear and loathing, at bigotry and ignorance, chauvinism and dictatorship - and concluded that our biggest problem is... shopping.

Do read the rest. It's actually a rather profound piece.
