Law and Order

Among the many in whose human rights Daveybloke has no interest are three Chinese activists on trial for demanding government transparency. The Chinese government has made lots of noises about cracking down on corruption but, rather like Britain's Head Boy and his little orange chums, appears to believe that noises are enough. The main charge is "unlawful assembly"; the trial is being held in a secret court; and the daughter of one activist claims that a dozen or so witnesses for the defence were detained or arrested before the proceedings started. No doubt the Minister for Justice and Heterosexual Hostelry, Chris Graybeing, will be pumping Daveybloke thoroughly for all the juicy details as soon as Britain's Head Boy, a delightful day-glo puce with envy and admiration, returns from his little sales tour.
