Ségolène Royal and Wikipedia duped by tale of anti-slavery activist
Léon-Robert de L’Astran, an 18th-century shipowner, was praised for his noble refusal to participate in the slave trade. Sadly, however, it seems that he existed only as an internet hoax — duping Wikipedia, the online encyclopaedia, for three years, along with Ségolène Royal and others.

Jim Armitage: Alone and unloved, Swiss provide a salutary lesson for the Eurosceptics
Conservative backbenchers like to cite Switzerland as an example of how it’s possible to trade in Europe while remaining out of the European Union.
