Delighted to see that my friend and Labour candidate for South West Devon @LukePollard is on Twitter. Hello, Luke! #

I never thought I’d say that. Her execrable blog has been taken down.
However, I think the Telegraph were wrong to file papers against Acidity, Dorries’ web hosts, rather than her, and to do it late on a Friday evening. I am concerned about almost any instance of restricting an MP’s freedom of speech, no matter [...]
Smash the pedagogic gerontocracy! #
Neelie Kroes has gone after Microsoft and Intel for anticompetitiveness. Google had better watch their step. #
The new Manic Street Preachers album, Journal for Plague Lovers, with lyrics by Richey Edwards, is out today. #
Via Wolfram Alpha, I discover that I am just over ten thousand days old #

Shortly after it emerged that Newsquest, who own a lot of regional papers, were accepting adverts from the BNP, it would appear that ClearChannel, a huge advertising promotion concern, is selling space on its large estate of billboards to the racist BNP.
Unsurprisingly, a large company like ClearChannel has a diversity policy. It says, on page [...]
While I agree with Jonathan Freedland in yesterday’sGuardian that a series of reforms are needed at Parliament and that the time is now, I fear he identified the wrong cause and proposes the wrong solution. He says we need a revolution; I say that would be a foolish thing indeed.

Result:
Ba-dum.
Why did the chicken cross the road?
Result:
to get to the other side
Guess which question yields 42.
Does anyone know why [...]
I rather like this line from Carlos Marighella, quoted by Fatima Bhutto in an interesting New Statesman article on Pakistan. It is, I feel, usefully descriptive of the reasoning behing the method in a lot of conflicts, past and present.
It is necessary to turn political crises into armed crisis by performing violent actions that will [...]
A great deal of column inches and blog centimetres have, of late, had a real downer on democracy. From time to time, something comes along that is tremendously encouraging.
I am writing from a meeting to support the science writer, Simon Singh, in his legal fight with the BCA. The basement of the Penderel’s Oak public [...]
Unfortunately, I haven’t had time to write about the (dastardly) BCA and the (heroic) Simon Singh, so I will ask you to read this excellent post by Jack of Kent and that Simon Singh is announcing tonight what he’s going to do.
As Professor Frank Frizelle would have it – show us your evidence, not [...]
I’m going to see Star Trek this evening. Yay! #
Yes, the Star Trek movie is great. Although there were one or two inaccuracies, it was faithful to the spirit of TOS. #
Pssst. Viral marketing doesn’t work. Pass it on. #
OMG! There’s something wrong on the internet! #
Attention PRs!Social media & online PR does not just [...]
