Terror and dissent

摘要

Visiting in 1911, the Earl of Rosebery, a former prime minister, crossed out the name Chevening on some headed notepaper and replaced it with "Paradise". A century on, Nick Clegg, who these days shares the grace-and-favour retreat with William Hague, the foreign secretary, would probably scribble "Haven". In the outside world the Liberal Democrat deputy prime minister is the target of jokes from politicians who doubt his power in the government, and of personal abuse in the streets from voters enraged by his collaboration with the Conservatives.
