John, no one is arguing one side of the political divide or the other.  The
comments are directed simply to a rather unusual and perhaps comic
situation that is underway right now.

Yeah, and if *I* had posted it, I'd be shouted down for introducing politics. 
Why should there be one rule for me and a different one for you?

Wasn't started that way. I wanted to know why there was a hostage
negotiator at a criminal trial in a country that is well known to have a
fair and impartial legal system.

It's not like as if Sweden is North Korea.

It is amusing to consider that the two planes were specifically designed to fly

I have more than one. 

Opinion, that is.

4 October this year won't be a problem as we're not due to close down until 31 
October. I don't think next year will be a problem either as by then we will 
have become one of the United States Minor Outlying Islands, so you won't even 
need a passport.

Nobody knows, even though most people have an opinion.  That is. of course,

My guess is neither. I don't think he will be PM long enough. The guy is
