On first impressions, many would look at me and categorically not strike me as the type to listen to a bit of garage punk now and again. I can’t say I blame them – every mosh pit I have encountered I’ve had to assign a personal body guard to act as a barrier against alcohol […]

Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya was killed two years ago this month, and today the trial of the three men accused of her murder begins in a Moscow military court.

Entirely co-incidentally, I happened to mentioned this issue during our class on regulation yesterday. As I said, the argument has always been that in terms of risk of death, taking this illegal drug is far safer than riding a horse. Whether anyone should in fact take illegal drugs is another issue.
