A curious transposition

'On the day when crime dons the apparel of innocence - through a curious transposition peculiar to our times - it is innocence that is called upon to justify itself,' wrote Albert Camus in The Rebel (1951). I was reminded of Camus' insight when reading the thoughts of the artist Sarah Lucas in Guardian Weekend (October 7). Asked which living person she most despised, and why, she replied, 'Tony Blair, for burying dissent'.
