Times of London Law Weblog

Robert Ambrogi (LawSites, 6/1/2006) and
PointofLaw.com (6/1/2006) point us to the
new Times of London law weblog. Outspoken and
provocative, this blog takes no prisoners.

Here is a quote from an entry entitled,
We should not be deprived of our rights just because
this Government has screwed up, which addresses
a proposed amendment to the (British) Human
Rights Act.

"Human Rights should apply to us as sentient beings,
as inhabitants of the earth - they should not apply
according to our geographic location. Still less should
they be responsive to political knee-jerk, press-released
legislation, cynically calculated to appeal to uninformed
prejudices."
