Is the Maxim Institute an educational charity. I always thought that they styled themselves as an independent think-tank. The reality on the other hand is that independent think-tanks (with significant funding) is a right-wing lobby group.
Clearly they feel the new electoral leglislation will cramp their style, but I thought that the whole purpose of the legislation was to deal to outfits like Maxim and the Exclusive Brethrens.
In other words, if Maxim Institute is objecting - best news I have heard all week. I found the reports on them in "The Hollow Men" very very scary.
Maxim was created out of the NZ Education Development Foundation, an overtly Christian educational charity. It retained the charitable status of its predecessor, although its work on educational matters has been slight.
Enough about Maxim. The real scoop is that the lady in question, reading tomorrow's paper today, is sitting on a train in Stockholm's tunnelbanan (subway).
I'd recognise the scratched windows and ugly seat covers anywhere...
Rob, thank you; the location has been bothering me since I found the photo.
Having not lived in Stockholme, this might be in idiot question, but why is she reading the Metro, in English, in Sweden?
Please institue a withdrawn idiot comment facility as soon as possible!
Is the Metro a London newspaper?
