From Building Design: London mayor Boris Johnson will attempt to draw a line under the bitter departure of architectural adviser Richard Rogers by appointing Tate boss Nicholas Serota in his place. Serota's appointment is now official, as are those of several other new members of the Mayor's Design Advisory Panel. BD used a Freedom of Information request to obtain correspondence between Rogers and...
Dear Shareholder, What a great week. We were able to announce record October borrowing levels, and a big leap in inflation. Our strategy of never knowingly underborrowed is going so well. You know you can rely on us to waste more and spend more than anyone [...]
Ed Balls MP, the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families, is a man very proud of children's achievements in schools. He also, as the man who would be Chancellor likes to think of himself as a bit of an economics/maths whizz kid. This makes the following from Parliament from Balls quite funny, because, whilst discussing GCSE questions he said the following, The third question comes from...
By Paul Burgin I think it's best if I start with a minor confession. Those who read my blog on a regular basis know this, but I think it's right to state areas where you are weak on a subject which you are about to pontificate on. It's simply that I dislike George Osborne. He strikes me as not just an incompetent Shadow Chancellor, but an unpleasant, smug, self-satisfied, school sneak of a Shadow...
Anshel Pffer writes today about experiences with British pro-Israel groups and people, which really isn't the "lobby' Oborne sought out to lambast, and includes this example : Last year...I covered the Conservative Party convention in Birmingham and attended a luncheon organized by the Conservative Friends of Israel in a room packed with senior party members and donors. Upon hearing I was an Israeli...
Biased BBC report some very interesting news from The Examiner: "The University of East Anglia's Hadley Climatic Research Centre appears to have suffered a security breach earlier today, when an unknown hacker apparently downloaded 1079 e-mails and 72 documents of various types and published them to an anonymous FTP server. These files appear to contain highly sensitive information that, if genuine,...
Since those fine people at the TPA were good enough to send me a copy of 'Ten Years On' ( Cheers Mark ), here's there cinema ad which will shortly be enraging europhiles everywhere. Stout work, people.
Yet more proof that the Conservatives may have tried to change their clothing but underneath they are still the same party of sleaze and racism. Over at Duncan Borrowman's blog , he has an extraordinary post from emails sent to him. Conservative Councillor Peter Hobbins complains of the campaigning inexperience of the candidates, and when referring to candidates Dilon Gurmal and Cameron Cutie Zerha...
Twenty years on from 1989, few people still believe that goodwill and dollars alone can solve the world’s problems. But perhaps the last vestige of post-1989 utopianism has survived among the new media apostles who argue that authoritarian states can be brought low by the internet. Evgeny Morozov’s cover essay is a vivid rebuttal of [...]
Someone your average accountant wouldn't invite round to dinner because he looks so boring, from a country no-one (not even the people who live there) cares about, has been given a job that no-one wanted and doesn't matter. We can tell that the president of Europe doesn't matter because the French have not come over all French on us on the news that a Frenchman is not doing the job. They did not even...
Maybe. This from the Japan Times : " Sake made its way into the British Parliament on Wednesday as the House of Lords gave the opening of a new session a twist to commemorate a landmark anniversary of bilateral relations. At a party hosted by the House of Lords, around 200 British lawmakers and other participants indulged in a taste of sake, which Japanese brewers hope will challenge the dominance...

"In our globalized world, new forms of slavery have taken shape. The list of abhorrent practices, new and old, is now shockingly long, and includes debt bondage, serfdom, forced labour, child labour and servitude,...
The latest political showdown on Mumsnet looks like delivering a points victory for Gordon Brown. Apparently David Cameron, who answered questions on a live web chat on the site today, was criticised by some posters as taking too long to answer. Brown apparently answered 30 questions in his hour on the site (could have been 31 if he'd taken the biscuit challenge) while the Tory leader managed just...
