Announcement

In a statement issued last night the London magistrate who calls himself Bystander on his widely-acclaimed blog announced an indefinite moratorium on use of any simile involving radar. Suicide bombers 'were not on our radar' or something 'disappeared from the radar' - tired old clichés, all of them. Every newspaper uses the R word several times a day, and it must stop. Now.
