I write in response to Alan Johnson's pledge to revive antisocial behaviour orders ( Report , 3 July), to set the record straight. Four years ago I was involved in setting up a broad-based coalition, Asbo Concern, which campaigned against the abusive use of asbos.

Riccardo said... on Fr Ray's Blog here & below Well you seemed to have stirred up a hornet's nest with some of the Oratorians devotees. However, the truth is that there is scant public cultus. The Newman cause is only on the verge of beatification because of the hundreds of thousands of pounds that the Oratory Fathers have ploughed into this over the last five years.
