From Charlie Brooker's article;


The more I read about this, the more it sounds like a lot of hot-air designed to whip up a bit of election-year frenzy. I read the other day the guy who's...

Isn't it called 'the Republican party'..?

Surely US mid-terms?

I wouldn't hold out much hope for an 'ass-kicker'.. Both US political parties promise the same thing, every candidate will 'go to Washington to clean up our politics, keep...

What happened to my post from earlier today? :s

I saw a reply on hear earlier from Mark in Oshawa. Mark; my problem with Labours tax policy isn't the 50% tax rate (as you correctly guessed, I'm...

Far be it for me to get in the way of the 'Daily Fail' and it's agenda.. But I suspect Nick Clegg would have to get such a policy past the Liberal Democrat membership first. Remember the Lib Dems are...

Interesting article on the effects of volcanic ash on jet engines, as well as an account of the famous 'BA flight 009' incident...

I'm fascinated by this, how exactly does Obama not have experience of raising a 'modern American family'?

Personally I'd put Palin and Obama on the same level of political inexperience, Obama was...

Technically theres nothing stopping her from doing this, she retains the right mainly because we don't have a formal written constitution. However, I suspect if she ever did there would be a fair bit...

If Harry becomes King I doubt even the UK will be keeping them!

The people organising this march are idiots of the highest order, as I understand it when they attempted something similar in Birmingham, the local community (including fellow Muslims) told them to...

Although supposed to remain politically neutral, there have been several 'leaks' regarding the Queen's own views. It's fairly well-known she was against the Iraq War and got fed up with Tony Blair,...

The best man won today. Brilliant. :) I will even admit to having a slight lump in my throat when he was celebrating after the 3rd race! He thoroughly deserves the title after a fantastic year. Well...

Just back from an absolutely fantastic days racing at Brands. I think it was the most entertaining series finale we've had in a long, long time. From Plato's incredible victory in Race 1, through to...

Your kidding right? Every interview I've ever heard Griffin give he consistently fails to defend any of his ridiculous beliefs, before launching into a whiny rant about how he's treated unfairly by...

Bill Bryson's take on the Cambrian Explosion and evolution of early life is often cited and (rightly!) praised by academics within the field of palaeontology as being extremely well written and...

I'd say the main fight in 'the quiet halls of academe' isn't over whether evolution is true, that's accepted as fact. The battle that has been going on for 30 or so years now is over the mechanisms...

This thread makes me sad..

Ted Kennedy always struck me as one of the seemingly few effective Senators, regardless of what people thought about his personal life or political outlook. My thoughts...

I was pretty unimpressed with what the usually pretty astute Nick Clegg had to say on the matter this morning, the old adage 'if you've got nothing useful to say don't say it at all' did spring to...

I maintain an extremely cynical suspicion that Brown was so careful to emphasise this was 'a decision for the Scottish Government' so Labour in Scotland could come out and say that if they'd been in...

This could get interesting.. Great to see Reidy back in the BTCC, lets hope he gets up to speed quickly and takes the fight to those pesky Vauxhalls!

I've just watched a video of a grown woman crying at one of these 'Town Hall Meetings' because she "doesn't want America to turn into Russia".. The sheer amount of ignorance, intolerance, and general...

Sutil mighty impressive to outqualify the Scuderia, heres hoping there are some points for Force India tomorrow. Also enjoyed Massa's brief excursion into the wilderness, maybe he fancied a go on the...

I had the misfortune to recieve some BNP election material through the post yesterday, what a disgraceful bunch they are. 'Vote for us to Stop 80 million Muslim Turks swamping your country!'

The...

There's a rather good video of Stephen Fry giving his take on this on the BBC website which I actually find myself agreeing with.

There are around 700 MP's, most of them are going to have claimed...

As a European I have to say I view the entire US political establishment with a tinge of political snobbery. Both parties seem to have their fair share of people like Michelle Bachmann who spout such...
