Anthony Barnett (London, OK): Brilliantly funny column of controlled anger by Suzanne Moore in today's Mail on Sunday as she is punished for taking public transport and gains a criminal record for not carrying her passport or driving license when travelling on a bus. Obviously a threat to the peace, as she contemplates the way we are ceasing to be a free country. A story of our time.
