Steve,
Tony's not talking about you. He's talking about the tabloids like The Sun. They succeed in whipping up the public mob, on crime for instance, and Tony caves in every single time and appeases them in the finest tradition of a British PM. Result: The great abridgement of liberty.

Great article. It is by your enemies that you know yourself. Worthy opponents make us worthy too. Keep making them uncomfortable!

Wasn't it Enoch Powell who said that politicians complaining about the media are like sailors complaining about the sea?

That is how I see it every time the Bush administration and the New York Times get into a dogfight. Can't they both lose?
