Charon and Minor Because it says it all, here is Charon's posting today in full without further comment.

Imagine a country which has restricted the money paid to experienced criminal lawyers with the result that many lawyers can no longer afford to practice in the field and the quality of representation may decline as a result.
Imagine a country with over 85,000 people in jail, a country where the Justice Ministry wants yet more prisons and even considered hiring prison ships from elsewhere.

The picture is - in case you don't know - Delacroix's Liberty leading the People.

On a completely different topic below - with Hat Tip to Jailhouse Lawyer is the millionth Morris Minor from the 22 December 1960. It is a pleasing mauve. It is also up for auction and estimates as to the likely selling price are £25-30,000 but of course wno-one has a clue. It will be interesting to see. Posted by white rabbit at 17:16 
There is nothing minor about the Rt Hon Charon himself. He has the intellect and humour of a man half his age, and twice as sober.

Damn... sounds a lot like what goes on here too. These are scary times.

Cool car.

Absolutely right. And imagine a continent whose ruling elite is considering making a war criminal, fantasist and money-grabbing parasite its unelected President.
