We’ve just uploaded the content from the latest issue of the magazine. And I’d strongly recommend you read Matt’s interview with Jacqui Smith, on the hot topic of 42-day detention. Says Smith: “I don’t think the government could fall over this …. I think if it was turned into a vote of confidence there would be massive support of the government, I don’t think it would be a problem.” Do you agree? As always, have your say in the comments section.
Elsewhere in the magazine, Rod Liddle has his say on the community support officer who threatened two Christian evangelical ministers with arrest for handing out Gospel literature in a Muslim area of Birmingham; Charles Cumming reviews Sebastian Faulks’ James Bond book; and Petroc Trelawny checks out the world’s largest piano factory, in China.
The second issue of the Spectator Business is also released today. You can find the articles from it here.
