AN INDEX ON CENSORSHIP OF THE RIGHT?

*
Last night's The World Tonight with Robin Lustig was as heavy as ever with guests from the Left and as light as ever with guests from the Right.
*
It began by reviewing the day's proceedings at the Chilcott Inquiry into the Iraq War. It then discussed the issues raised with two people, BBC regular Oliver Miles (former ambassador, opponent of the war, and writer for The Guardian) and John Kampfner, former editor of The New Statesman and now chief executive of Index on Censorship (also an opponent of the war). Why two anti-war voices were invited to comment is beyond me.
*
The issue of European Union arrest warrants was discussed with Labour minister Jim Knight (I.C. of 0) and then with Jago Russell of the campaign group Fair Trails International (and previously a policy officer at Shami's Liberty.) Jago was, naturally, not against the idea of EU arrest warrants in principle, only in practise!

David Rennie of The Economist provided some relief, even though he had bad news to tell us about the free-market-loathing, London-loathing Frenchman newly appointed as the EU's new trade supremo (in the wake of the post-Lisbon carve-up) and an almost-as-bad German protectionist installed as energy commissioner. What a nightmare!
