		<description><![CDATA[The worst part of this story is that those involved quite probably believe that they&#8217;re acting in the best interests of the child involved. The poor kid is in a vegetative state and is not going to recover, yet &#8216;Priests for Life&#8217; have spent hundreds of thousands on a medical airlift to keep him on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the UK, the courts are ordering secret injunctions to prevent the press from discussing certain topics, sealed to the extent that even their existence is not supposed to be a matter of public record. In the US, the courts are awarding career-destroying damages against a blogger who simply told the truth. So, what now? [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Under the Proceeds of Crime Act, 2002, the standard assumption of &#8216;innocent until proven guilty&#8217; is reversed &#8211; the police may confiscate your property and it is up to you to prove that it was obtained legally before it is returned. It is a law which I fervently disagree with in principle, but what is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An oddly appropriate trifecta of stories on my BBC feed today: the right thing for the courts to do, the wrong thing to do, and the consequences of the wrong thing being taken to extremes. Just to be perfectly clear: the Westboro Baptist Church are a group of bigoted morons who seem to do nothing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It appears that the estate of J.R.R Tolkien (primarily driven by his son Christopher, by most accounts) is continuing in its increasingly absurd attempts to silence those who dare to utter the name &#8216;Tolkien&#8217;. The latest evil copyright-flouting pirate to be brought to justice was the proprietor of a Zazzle store who offered a badge [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ah, the rallying cry of those who hope to circumvent logic and plug directly into the brain&#8217;s &#8216;moral panic&#8217; centre. It would be amusing if it weren&#8217;t so destructive. The latest victim is a comedian facing a potential 20 year child abuse sentence for editing a video to appear that he was singing a song [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A veritable smorgasbord of moronic stories seem to have come to light this week, and I&#8217;m far too lazy to write individual posts of even the most mediocre quality: Russia are, unsurprisingly, expelling foreign journalists who they happen to dislike. Although international denouncement is a perfectly reasonable reaction, I have to wonder whether the British [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Julian Assange&#8217;s lawyer has suggested that allowing his extradition from Britain could be the first step on the road to Guantanamo Bay. I don&#8217;t know whether this is a realistic claim or not. That rather succinctly sums up the point I wanted to make here: by placing Guantanamo out of the reach of the law, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You may have read recently that a British immigration officer decided to get rid of his wife by covertly placing her on a &#8216;no fly&#8217; list while she was outside the country. It worries me greatly that this was possible (not to say that it particularly surprises me, however). It provides further proof that Jacqui [...]]]></description>
