TODAY'S SUMMARY
It's time to replace impotent anger with protest
29 October 2010 In the Independent, Johann Hari says it's time for Britons to replace impotent anger with protest against the cuts and the coalition. Meanwhile, in the Financial Times, Martin Wolf says the government's fiscal retrenchment is a remarkable gamble that it may live to regret. In the Economist, Bagehot writes that the shadow chancellor, Alan Johnson, is just the sort of pragmatist Labour needs. In international politics, an editorial in the Los Angeles Times argues that rather than merely attacking the Republicans, the Democrats should come up with a better plan to protect social security. Finally, in the Times, Philip Collins says that Christopher Hitchens, who is suffering from oesophageal cancer, is teaching us how to die a good death in a Godless age.
