Guido has a rather eloquent analysis piece on the case against Twitter which notes that difference between those politicos on Twitter who have large following but also have a large following list. Essentially, Alastair Campebll and Derek Draper have very large Twitter followings, but they have achei...

if anyone gets a chance to watch the latest Dispatches on C4 On Demand then I strongly recommend it. The subtitle for the show was 'Are the Government squandering our billions' and was a litany of their profligacy. Long time readers of this blog will know about much of the more obscure thing...

Conservative MP, Peter Stein apparently wants to have a DNA database of all the dogs in Germany mapped to their owners. Why? Well that's simple surely. If the ...

Can someone explain to me what all the fuss is about this bankers rather hefty pension? Sure, half a million or so quid a year is very nice, but why is the Government getting all upset about it when they were the ones that signed it off in the first place? Are the likes of Harriet Harman complaining...

3000 applicants travel from across the country for just 150 jobs at Twycross Zoo. A picture old Gordon 'Jinx' Brown most definitely doesn't want to see. Full story in the Screws...
