Creative Lawyering - British Style
Language butchery by Mr Rich on 28.9.07 @ 13:50
So I'm browsing BBC's top stories today while I am "indisposed" (a blackberry with WAP net access has displaced my bathroom literature). I started reading a story on the situation in Burma.
I've been following the situation in Myanmar quite closely as I have an affinity for that part of the world. The marxist in me also delights at the sight of the masses rising up against their oppressors - and the ruling military junta in Burma certainly qualifies as oppressive. Anyway, after getting to the end of the latest update - which by the way, tells about how the junta has cut internet access and confiscating mobile phones and cameras - I ran into this note:
