On today's charges, all that I have to say is that those charged are entitled to a fair trial. But even Harry's Place cannot take seriously Nick Cohen's assertion in his latest Observer column that, "We are all Sun journalists now." He wishes.
When he is good, Cohen is very, very good indeed. The Euroscepticism of his left-wing position has also been coming back to him of late, since presumably he voted No in 1975. The Unionism of that position has never left him. He has seen the light on grammar schools.
But he should keep off religion, like Polly Toynbee. Or, for that matter, like Richard Dawkins. He endorsed Boris Johnson, and that despite claiming to be a Labour Party member. And he has now spent 10 years as first a bad, but now just a mad and sad, Murdoch wannabe, parroting the neoconservative line on foreign policy in the desperate hope of being offered something more lucrative that is available from the Scott Trust.
It worked for David Aaronovitch. But it has never quite worked for Nick Cohen. Not that that stops him from trying.
