I am indebted to Behind Blue Eyes for being a thorough gent and passing on this nugget of DPRK-related goodness . Ushers is a defunct brewers based in Trowbridge, and the DPRK bought the brewery lock, stock etc and rebuilt in Pyongyang, where it is now brewing a rather lager-y looking concoction called Taedong River Beer. Further digging has unearthed this from the KCNA: "The beers including black...

I headlined too soon. Yet another French survey , this time on trust in sundry personalities, with a remarkable array of questions. Who would you trust to babysit your children? Top of the list is a Belgian singer called Lio, who is a judge on what I am going to call ' French Idol ', at 20%, followed by actress Carole Bouquet, star of ' For Your Eyes Only ' and ' Cet obscur objet du désir' ....

We have gone from Blair's Babes to Brown's Ball-Breakers. In today's Mail on Sunday , we learn that Tory health spokesman Andrew Lansley has walked into a dirty tricks trap set by one Sally Gainsbury - but which seems to have been the brainchild of Alastair Campbell and Gainsbury' s boyfriend, Alex Hilton (pictured left soon after he woke up). In the last month, Hilton has launched a Labour supporting...

Alex Hilton and David Prescott's new PR firm Game Changer has certainly got some attention this weekend. Perhaps they are going for the all-publicity-is-good-publicity route, or perhaps their tactics have been called out very early on. Will this really be a game changer for Labour online or will it just be more of the same old New Labour spin and dark arts? Today's Mail makes for a very different read...

It seems that the controversial academies programme has now come to Wirral. The Government won’t, or can’t fund the new academies, so it seems that we have to rely on ’sponsors’, in other words private individuals/companies who do have the cash! But surely, as part of that, the Labour Lib Dem administration that controls Wirral must be careful who they [...]

Take this from the Independent: Bike shops are struggling to meet demand, which has tripled in the past 12 months despite massive price hikes. [...]

Political assassination is always an interesting thing to watch. I remembered seeing it happen to Thatcher and its effects made long lasting and deep, near fatal wounds on the conservative party. They never recovered even after Major won a general election after Thatcher's departure and it is only now, 18 years after her departure that they are beginning to look like a united party again.
