How should we judge a government?

In Malaysia, if you don't watch television or read newspapers, you are uninformed; but if you do, you are misinformed!

"If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." - Malcolm X

Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience - Mark Twain

Why we should be against censorship in a court of law: Publicity is the very soul of justice … it keeps the judge himself, while trying, under trial. - Jeremy Bentham

"Our government is like a baby's alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no
responsibility at the other. " - Ronald Reagan

Government fed by the people

Antique clock repaired

The antique clock which SP bought at Spitafields Market for 15 quid has been fully restored with the addition of missing wooden decorative parts, almost beyond recognition.

She was informed to collect it and was pleasantly surprised to see a complete clock, even with an eagle sitting on top! The restorer managed to check a book with a picture of the model and confirmed that it is French, second edition, definitely over 100 years old and has a porcelain face! I had described it earlier as porcelain and changed it to enamelled. Now it seems it is porcelain!

I hope to take a picture of it and upload it later, for the benefit of those who have seen it before restoration. It travelled all over London, on buses, tube trains and sitting on a baby buggy!

It would be nice to show it to the television crew for Sun, Sea and Bargain Hunting!
