Binary Law doesn't like the Times Online redesign. Good. I loathe it. From intrusive, slow, floating ads (even in Firefox), to an utterly overloaded ad-and-submenu-and-splashspot-laden page, it is dreadful. It makes the Grauniad look like something set out...
the centre cannot hold. Not a good week, all in all. When the legal highlight of the week is some scurrilous story about the DPP and the Criminal Bar Association spokesperson enjoying illict souvlaki together, then we are in trouble. Although two details...

This weekend, my partner and I were trying to work out what we were going to do with the salsify that turned up in our organic box. It was a step into the unknown which caused some debate, so I have sympathy with John Reid and Charlie Falconer trying to work...
