  1. Htchens v Hitchens

    I saw Peter Hitchens v Will Self on newsnight on Thursday. Despite sharing few moral positions I still regard him as a bit of a legend. I remembered this Hitchens v Hitchens debate on Iraq and god. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggIDnBl0zIU

    Paxman's newsnight interview with Noam Chomsky

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/newsnight/9418922.stm The best thing I've seen on the BBC in a long time.His case for non-intervention in Libya is compelling. I loved his comment(towards the end of the interview)that blind belief in the self regulation of "free" markets was fanaticsm...

    Save Our Libraries

    Due to the local authority cuts, a massive number of libraries across the country face closure. The residents of Stony Stratford (near MK), have withdrawn every single book of the libraries 16,000 stock in protest at the councils plans to close it.

    Billy Bragg

    Did anyone else see the Dorset(!) Bard on Newsnight late last night? He presented a short film and took part in a studio discussion on the recent so-called "wildcat" strikes in the UK. So called because they had unofficial support from Unite which if it had been made official could have seen...

    Absolutely Ridiculous

    On Newsnight now. Apparently since 9/11 the government changed the rules regarding airport security, and now every person who works "airside" at any British airport - and there are over 200,000 of them, must have a criminal records check - unless they are foreign. Apparently it will be too...
