And here it is, the first - I’m guessing - of many which consist entirely of a link to something by me on Samizdata, as prophesied here.  And as with that earlier link, this one is to a piece about cricket. Aside from one bloke who used to be South African, the Samizdata commentariat has so far managed to contain its excitement.

Back in 2000 the chancellor Gordon Brown rejected calls to restore the link between earnings and the basic state pension, saying too much money would then go to pensioners who are well-off. This link was cut by the Tory government and used the same reason for doing so. Labour are happy for pensioners to be means tested. Plaid Cymru are still calling for the link to be restored, so there is no need...

Here's a link to a link/quotation but never mind. If you follow the link you get not only this and more: The pope has generated a bit of controversy.First, he permitted congregations to go back to the old custom of praying in Latin. (More about that later.) Then he announced that only the Catholic Church qualifies as a real church. Protestants, as far as the pope is concerned, simply don&rsqu...

This is a guest post by a Harrys Place Reader Last night I was at the meeting in the British Parliament where Khalid Meshaal, Chief of the Political Bureau of Hamas, was supposed to speak by videolink.

Pensions increase every April in line with the level of the retail prices index the previous September. Since this ...

I don't link to many councillor blog sites because often they are the sort that tell you what last night's planning meeting was like and the problems of flytipping on local street corners. Nothing wrong with that, but they tend to be more of local interest than those that contain a wider political outlook. Anyway, I like the cut of his gib, so I'm adding Councillor Tim Cheetham who ...

The European Commission has agreed on new rules for the use of data link in air traffic management (ATM) systems in Europe. Data link technology revolutionizes communications between air traffic controllers and pilots through supplementing voice communications with an air-ground data link.

Rather amused by the discovery that on the BBC website collection of British Political Party websites if one was to click on the link to the UK Independence Party yopu were taken not to here, but to here. Now they look like very nice holidays, and just the sort of thing after a couple of months hard campaigning, but not quite the thing for the BBC to be doing. Hopefuly the link will have been chan...
