In Asia. Reading the Japan Times I see an Op-Ed by Oliver Kamm on Gordon Brown* ** Switching on either CNN Asia or BBC World (I forget which) I see he is going to be on at 6pm discussing the international banking crisis.* In which Oliver claims Gordon Brown is directly responsible for high inflation because he should have taken steps to limit credit expansion, which I think is a turnaround for Oliver in that he is cricising central bank independence.
** By the way I think the NYT (from which it was syndicated) makes an error in calling the Labour Party the Labor Party, for that is not its name, and furthermore this would cause problems when discussing the Australian Labor Party.
UPDATE And now the Sunday edition of a Japanese paper has six pages from the Times, back in broadsheet form, with an editorial about Blair's resignation and how the London Mayor should choose the Police Commissioner. I understood the problem with this was that the Met has many national responsibilities as well as London ones, but maybe this can be got around.
