The week that was

6:24pm

Here are some of the posts made on Spectator.co.uk over the past week:

Fraser Nelson explains how free schools benefit all schools.

James Forsyth sets out the new fairness battleground, and reports on a double boost for the coalition's economic strategy.

Peter Hoskin watches Clegg get angry, and says that Cameron's certainty contrasts with Miliband's equivocation.

David Blackburn charts the growing need for elected police commissioners, and observes the Big Society in action.

Alex Massie reports back from Israel.

Melanie Philips reveals the true reason for the Middle East impasse.

And the Spectator Arts Blog picks a selection of films for Halloween.

Trevor aka "Fraser" --The fastest spinner in the Nelson family even though my brother is a DJ.

Why so coy?
Why so low key?
Why so reticent about your new discovery?

You know the "Magic" 3-1 jobs ratio?
It received top billing only days ago.
And now nothing, not even a passing mention.

Would that be because ...

1) You stole it of SF?
You know the resident dog boiler at the BBC.

2) It is complete and utter tripe?
Wine into water it maybe but surely you could not miss the BR to RailTrack transformation?

Finally any chance you could join the new mood of openess and accountability that has come over SpeccyLand today and provide better references to your pearls of wisdom?

The fiscal consolidations you mention seems to include an item named "Howe81" which needs more work as I fear it is home made and your working would struggle to cover one side of a fag packet.

Consequently any chance of some details?

Hello Fatbloke.

Is it your low self esteem that brings you to attempt to make up such daft nicknames and use derisory language? Perhaps you should seek some counselling?
