I’m going to be reviewing an anthology of Imagist Poetry.
xD.

Take a look at the London Election Cinema at londonvids.com. There are a few YouTube videos that are worth watching. It’s being organised by Alex Hilton of Labour Home and Recess Monkey.

Professor Erik Ringmar will be on iPM on BBC Radio Four talking about liberating old papers. Do listen as it’s an important one. Partly, it’s about free information being freely available, but some of the things that should be freely available already aren’t. The case in point (as Erik writes in the Times Higher) is […]

Hopi Sen has an unofficial attack ad against Boris Johnson. A little bit of photoshopping and we have the front page the Evening Standard would like to run - click on the image to make it larger.

Tom Watson has been musing about civil service bloggers following the Civil Serf incident. He has come up with some thoughts but, before I list them, it’s worth repeating that these are thoughts, not a statement of […]
