Binoy Kampmark: Offence By Another Name: Suppressing Anti-Royal Protest In Britain
The right to protest, fragile and meekly protected by the judiciary in Britain’s common law tradition, did not really hold much force till European law confirmed it.

The old enemy France glowed with a distant familial warmth. In the United States, monarchical fetishism reasserted itself… More>>
Binoy Kampmark: The Harlot’s Score: Blood Money And The LIV Golf Tournament
It has been a hobbyhorse of Greg Norman for years: a threatening, alternative golf tournament to draw the stars and undermine the musty establishment. Realising a most dubious project, the LIV Tournament has become blood money’s greatest symbol. Funded by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, it is a most noisy statement of sportswashing… More>>
