Big business, fed up with over-regulation in Meles, are heading offshore in ever-increasing numbers.
Oh dear, perhaps I’ve been a little too liberal — not to worry though, I’ve just passed some legislation to protect the interests of big business…
I’ve just discovered Nation States, a fun little online simulation where you get to create your own country, based on the answers you give to a few questions. You then get one or two issues to deal with every day, and how you act decides the state of your nation. You can also choose to [...]
Now this is interesting: How CNN edited Blix’s transcript. Dan Hon did a little bit of investigating and found that ‘respected’ news organisation CNN actually left some bits out of their online transcript of Hans Blix’s report to the UN. Dan compared the CNN transcript with both the official UN transcript and the BBC’s, and [...]
Just been reading about America’s scary new Patriot II Act. Is this the sort of freedom the US wants to bestow on the people of Iraq?
Just when you think he can’t get any more amoral, Blair decides to scrap renewable energy targets. Sick, sick irony.
Tony Blair has blocked plans to produce a fifth of Britain’s electricity from renewable sources, in revenge for his failure to push through a programme of new nuclear power stations.
Britain has the greatest renewable energy resources [...]
Yay, it’s back — 24! Good to see it’s as fun and implausible as ever: “We’ve just found out there’s a nuclear device set to go off in LA today. Luckily we still had time to prepare this slick Powerpoint presentation…”

As the Independent put it, a groundswell of dissent encircles the globe. Some of the [...]
Just got back from the Stop the War march. Awe inspiring. Utterly knackered. Will post a fuller account in the morning — in the meantime here’s the Observer’s report.
Iraqi Explorer 404 — Cannot find weapons or CIA Error.
I’ve got mixed feelings about the congestion charge being introduced in London on Monday (good idea in theory, but how will it pan out it practice…?). Anyway, the anti-charge sod-u-ken campaign has been getting lots of publicity on the TV, so it’s nice to see that someone’s launched a web site and petition for those [...]
I’m afraid I’ve finally given in to the forces of darkness and sold my soul to the Devil. Have I joined New Labour? No, not quite that evil, but I do feel quite disgusted with myself nevertheless. After years of nagging by friends, I’ve actually bought a mobile phone.
I do like gadgets in general, but [...]
Sorry for the delay. Choose one of the following excuses:
After listening to the arguments put forward by our great leader Blair, I have volunteered to go and fight Saddam in order to secure world peace, and am currently receiving kill-a-man-with-a-single-blow training from the SAS;
My mum thoughtlessly decided to go have a stroke, and I’ve been [...]
For about a year and a half I was using a hand-made PHP weblog script to run World of Badger. However, it had a few bugs and lacked some features (comments etc.) that I now wanted, so I thought I’d cobble together a new one. Unfortunately, being so busy lately meant that I kept putting [...]
