Guilty in perpetuity despite proven innocent

How low can the British Labour party’s credibility go? Every time I think they have reached rock bottom they find a new depth. Like Australia Britain is seeking to persecute the victims too.

And the candidates are…

Michael Powell’s imminent departure from the US FCC leaves the commission with two democratic and two republican commissioners. Whoever is appointed will have an absolutely pivotal role in the direction the US media takes from here.
