The week that was

5:34pm

Here are some of the posts made at Spectator.co.uk this week.

James Forsyth believes that the government’s handling of the al-Megrahi affair was colossally incompetent, and suggests that a live election debate might be a lifeline for Mr Brown.

Peter Hoskin argues that Brown’s fightback is marred by negative stories, and sees some evidence that the Treasury may finally be getting to grips with spending.

David Blackburn reviews the Lockerbie documents, and insists that governments tackle illegal immigration.

Daniel Korski makes a convicing case for remaining committed in Afghanistan.

Martin Bright says that the game is up over the release of the Lockerbie bomber.

Clive Davis on the psychology of rage.

Alex Massie asks why the SNP did it.

And Cappuccino Culture demands the end of the doughty dames’ theatre monopoly.
