London Denizen: April 2006
http://cmurf.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
The ramblings of a London law student on the "war on terrorism". Friday, April 07, 2006. About being terrorised in Heathrow the last time I was here. No terror this time. A frisking at security alright, but that's about it. The Reuters story is here. The decision isn't exactly surprising really, it would have been incredible if the court found in favour of the 1980's book, the reprecussions for the da Vinci Code book, its film, etc, would have been huge, never mind the effect on possible future authors.

London Denizen: March 2006

The ramblings of a London law student on the "war on terrorism". Friday, March 31, 2006. Wow, over a month since I last posted. Anyway, I'm merely cross-posting a comment I made over at MM. About the Rahman case. Fi pointed out that he may not fulfill the strict Convention requirements and I tend to agree. I'm glad he's been granted asylum, and is safe, but I think he falls within a new category of 'asylum seeker': one who leaves their state for want of a better life - not socio-economically, but in huma...

“Offensive” cartoons, organised religion and free speech | Bob's Blog
https://bobsblog.wordpress.com/2006/02/04/offensive-cartoons-organised-religion-and-free-speech
Ramblings of a 30 something grumpy guy. 8220;Offensive” cartoons, organised religion and free speech. February 4, 2006. Posted by bobsblog in Social and Politics. EDIT] Offensive in inverted commas to suggest the subjective nature of offence.[/EDIT]. This whole thing with the Danish magazine highlights again how a feature of what religion is about is to be intolerant of other people’s beliefs – and I am not for one minute suggesting that Islam is the only religion to do this. February 5, 2006. Ssed off a...

London Denizen: December 2005
http://cmurf.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
The ramblings of a London law student on the "war on terrorism". Sunday, December 25, 2005. To one and all! Posted by London Denizen at 1:10 am. Links to this post. Friday, December 23, 2005. After a week of madness at home, I've finally found the time to pay a trip to the blogosphere. I note Objective Justice. Has thrown a link my way. I haven't had time to read the blog yet, but there's a lot on it. Naturally, in the festive season, being jolly and all, it's harder to find the vitriol to fuel rants.

London Denizen: February 2006
http://cmurf.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html
The ramblings of a London law student on the "war on terrorism". Friday, February 24, 2006. I made over at M.M. Has caused a bit of backlash, so I want to explain what I mean. The comment was. I just found Helen Duffy's The 'War on Terror' and the Framework of International Law. On a shelf next to Primo Levi's The Drowned and the Saved. The resonance between the photo of Guantanamo Bay on the cover of one, and Auschwitz on the other has turned me right off my lunch.". That I was perusing calls Levi's wor...

Water Meters – The Irish Economy
http://www.irisheconomy.ie/index.php/2011/08/14/water-meters
Commentary, information, and intelligent discourse about the Irish economy. I had an op-ed. In the IT last Thursday. Discussion is not great on their site. Here’s my edit. The government aims to create a national water utility to install water meters and charge for water use. The general thrust is commendable, but it may become an expensive failure. A flat water charge would be unfair. Exemptions for those unable to pay are crude and expensive to administer. This has been carefully planned and trialed ov...

It’s All About Speed, Frequency and Convenience. Shorter trip times, more frequent departures and better use of time through Wi-Fi, food and beverage service, and a comfortable environment that is what travellers demand if they are to choose train travel over their car. This new schedule is only one initiative in response to this demand. We anticipate it will attract some 100,000 new passengers annually. You can share your thoughts in the comments section below.
