BTW Shamik, what do you make of this:

If you remember, the Tories accused Labour of scaremongering on this during the election, and now look what’s happened.

It is good to see that for now the leek has stopped. Now the postmortem in to BP’s handling of it can begin.

Elsewhere, Shamik, what do you make of the Catholic Church allegedly branding the ordination of women bishops as like sex abuse?

I see that the Guardian is covering the falling crime figures:

Elsewhere, there are 2 interesting things in the Daily Mirror. First, there is an interview with the woman who set up that Facebook page on Raoul Mote:
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2010/07/16/moat-tribute-page-mum-i-m-so-sorry-115875-22416651/

Whatever the police did, and we will hear from the IPCC soon, Mote was certainly not a hero. To that end, I think she has to be a candidate for ‘Regressive of the Week.’

Secondly, the Mirror alleges that the government reforms to the NHS are to cost the Taxpayer:
