Is cosying up to Muslim extremists the best way to defeat terrorism? (Shariah Finance Watch)

Sat, 05 Jul 2008 02:38:08 GMT

By Charles Moore http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml'xml=/opinion/2008/07/05/do0501.xml The Lord Chief Justice, Lord Phillips of Worth Matravers, was nice about sharia this week. It is not “only about mandating sanctions such as stoning, flogging, the cutting off of hands and death to those who do not comply with the law”, he said. And the provisions of sharia “do not include...

Finding Lisp: Forth Timelessness, a Redux (Planet Lisp)

Fri, 27 Jun 2008 16:27:00 GMT

The other day, I discussed languages which I thought were timeless . Among them, I listed Lisp, C, and Forth. After writing that posting, I spent some time playing with Forth again. Today, while browsing Reddit, I stumbled on this interview with Charles Moore, the creator of Forth. Forth is one of those languages, like Lisp, that I'd recommend that everybody study at least for a time....

If David Davis was itching to quit, Lisbon would have been a better cause (The Black Kettle)

noreply@blogger.com (Tim) — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 18:02:00 GMT

By Charles Moore, Telegraph [UK]: In the Irish language, there is no word for "no". The Irish way of getting round this is to say instead: "It isn't." Yesterday we learnt that the Irish people, confronted with the Lisbon Treaty in a referendum, have said: "It isn't." And that, exactly, is now the constitutional position of the treaty throughout the European Union. It isn't. To become...

Education is far too important to be left to politicians (Bermant's blog)

Sun, 08 Jun 2008 08:35:00 GMT

No one says that it is "elitist" to insist that candidates know how to make an emergency stop. No one, so far as I know, compiles figures to show that...

What Makes A Great Commentator (And Why Most Bloggers Aren't) (Martin Kelly)

Sat, 07 Jun 2008 11:16:00 GMT

Upon reading Charles Moore's critique of the education system in today's 'Telegraph', my first reaction was to write about it. This was wrong. All journalism is fundamentally reactive, in that it both reports and comments upon the doings of others. The one verb that the practice of political blogging has given the world is 'to fisk' - to point out errors in others' work. Fisking is remarkably...

By Charles Moore Daily Telegraph Ninety-seven British soldiers have died in Afghanistan since 2001, most in the past two years. At current rates, it is, unfortunately, a good bet that the 100 mark will be passed in the coming month. Then people will challenge the Government: "What is the point of being in Afghanistan?" How should ministers reply? I first visited Afghanistan on January...
