I have absolutely no interest whatsoever in listening to the head of the Church of England pontificate about banking - I find it totally bizarre! It's like listening to George Osborne's view on wild trout fishing or Abu Qatada's view on last week's episode of Made in Chelsea (For the record, he thought it was 'totes amazing' but also kind of wishes a plague on both their houses).

Take Off Those Sunglasses Bono - You Look Ridiculous

Matthew Phillips | Posted 10.12.2012 | UK Entertainment

"Are they still going?" That's what a taxi driver asked me last week, en route to the Manchester Evening News Arena when I told him who I was on my way to see. "No, mate. I thought I'd spend my Wednesday evening in an empty auditorium," I replied. In my head. Much later that night.

Slactivism, Bono, Tax and Kony

Neil Scott | Posted 23.05.2012 | UK Politics
Neil Scott

Slactivism is someone who jumps from cause to cause - each cause being, to the slactivist, as worthy as the next. The term could, at its least dangerous, be given to those who loosely link causes together and change focus regularly.

In Defence of M.I.A - A 21st Century Icon

Tara McEvoy | Posted 13.04.2012 | Home
Tara McEvoy

M.I.A is a case study in contradictions, and has built a career on exploring the grey area - between the east and west, high and low taste, fear and stereotype. Arulpragasm may just be a high top-sporting, potty-mouthed Joan Baez for our generation.

Justin Forsyth

A prime minister under pressure. A coalition government rebelling over whether money should be spent on a granddad at home or a 'bloke from Somalia' instead. A key finance bill is at stake.

That was the dilemma at the heart of last week's Borgen - the Danish political thriller on BBC4.

ONE's new campaign ad is getting a lot of attention. Not all of it of the admiring kind. Yahoo's news pages brand it the "shocking F-word vid". In the UK, the folk who decide what is fit and proper content for TV ads are stewing over it.
