MUSHTAQ AHMED, a Bangladeshi writer, knew the risk he was taking. To attack his government’s handling of covid-19, not least by likening the health minister to a cockroach, as he did on Facebook last spring, was to challenge the Digital Security Act. Passed in 2018 by the thin-skinned regime of Sheikh Hasina Wajed, now in her fourth term as prime minister, the law penalises such vague crimes as “creating confusion” and “tarnishing the image of the country”. Mr Ahmed was one of some 450 people arrested under the law last year. Читать дальше...

On a recent Sunday a smaller, socially distanced congregation assembled to hear the preacher speak on the eighth chapter of the gospel of Mark, in which Jesus asks his disciples: “Who do people say I am?” Such questions of identity are troubling many in the congregation, too.

As a young practitioner in Paisley, an old weaving town outside Glasgow once famed for its teardrop-patterned scarves, Anas Sarwar would from time to time be called upon to perform “full clearances” on patients in their late teens, and fit them with dentures. The problem was methadone, a heroin substitute prescribed to addicts which is both acidic and sticky “and would pretty much fry the dentition”. The regional health... Читать дальше...
OVER THE past year rent strikes have swept British universities, and even a pandemic hasn’t stopped the finest traditions of student protest. A building has been occupied, barricades stormed and manifestos drawn up. The short-term aim is “a few quid in a student’s pocket,” campaigners say, with many currently paying to rent empty dorms. The grander aim, though, is “resistance to marketisation of both universities and, more importantly for the working classes, housing.”

BEN HOUCHEN, the Tees Valley Mayor, is a persuasive man. For more than a year he lobbied the chancellor of the exchequer to create a low-tax “freeport” in his bailiwick and move lots of civil servants there. On the eve of Rishi Sunak’s budget speech he ratcheted up the rhetoric. “The question is,” he wrote in the Northern Echo, a local newspaper, “does Rishi have the strength to stand up to the Whitehall mandarins that have held our region back for so long?”

ON FEBRUARY 14th 1962, the American people fell in love with the White House. Jackie Kennedy, with some help from CBS News, guided 56m of them through her renovations. The tour made such good television that the first lady won an Emmy; and, as Mrs Kennedy intended, the smartened-up White House came to embody the grandeur of American democracy.
