In Pakistan there are 800,000 people playing Russian Roulette. They do it 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It's not a voluntary game. Someone else holding the gun, refusing to tell how many projectiles there are in the chamber, or even who the weapon is currently aimed at.
What job does Vince Cable want? Chancellor? Foreign secretary? Prime minister?... However, documents obtained by Corporate Watch and revealed in The Huffington Post today show that it's Dr Cable's current role as 'Minister for Shell' that should be under question.
The more I listen to those who deal with rape on a regular basis, is the core of the problem: its not just that some men rape. It is the fact that across the globe, the authorities, the legal system itself is broken when it comes to rape. Even here, in the UK, where we like to self-congratulate on our legal process, the system is simply dismissive.
In the digital age, over a million people watched Clegg's tuition fees apology - original or remixed - in four days. If a single lesson can be taken from the Deputy PM's chart success, it's that the power of the internet is not to be underestimated.
But is J.K. Rowling's new book really a new direction, both politically and in terms of her literary output? On the contrary. There's no wonder that the student protests of 2011 featured many Harry Potter inspired slogans.
The first Sakharov prize was awarded to Nelson Mandela, who was also the first of the winners to have been incarcerated. He served 27 years in prison as part of his struggle against apartheid in South Africa.
Tory co-chairman Grant Shapps, or marketing guru Michael Green depending on where you've met him, is falling further into a scandal over his identity ...

Behind the rows of gleaming suited photos lies the real story of Party Conference season. In the uniformed ranks of colour-coded allegiance - a yellow tie this week, a red one next, a true blue one a week later still - are the million stories of all our years at school. From satchels to red boxes, Tupperware lunch boxes to hospitality buffets... the types are there.
It seems that the Business Secretary, Vince Cable, has secured a promise from the Treasury that it will back his idea for a state business back with £1 billion of taxpayers' money. He hopes that the new 'British Business Bank' will be up and running in 18 months.
They're the sort of people who would never dream of reading the Sun in the first place, and have no real idea of the people that actually do. Well, the Sun is a largely working-class newspaper that approximately THREE MILLION women choose to read every day.
Business leaders and unions have criticised Vince Cable's nascent business bank, saying it will provide "nowhere near enough" money to kickstart the e...
With youth unemployment still above 20%, and many of Britain's brightest and best-educated young people desperate for work, many are seeking unpaid internships to get the experience they need for full-time employment.
Nick Clegg's apology on tuition fees took the nation by surprise - but not by storm. What Nick didn't mention is the other promise he hasn't kept.
The lives of most people are dependent on the modest wages they receive from work to survive and keep a roof over their family's heads. Any interruption of that income due to illness or unemployment of the breadwinner could tip the family into homelessness.
SlutWalk is not as radical as its name suggests, and is certainly something men should feel able to support. Rape does not happen exclusively to women, and to stand in solidarity as a man is important for the movement's message of fighting blame culture in any case of rape.
There are a number of 'culturally sensitive' human rights issues that the government hasn't got to grips with yet, and as a result people will continue to be murdered, raped and shipped to other countries, in the name of tradition and preserving family honour.
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg stormed into the official singles chart today in the latest twist to his turbulent career. A spoof song featuring ...
Inequality, specifically between the very richest and the rest, is widely known about and accepted as an issue. We didn't used to talk about this that much. We do now. Occupy did that.
Nick Clegg compared the press to "desperate" animals as he said the Government should fully accept the recommendations of the Leveson Inquiry into pre...
The local human rights group, Sudan Change Now, claims the riot was the result of the regime's "purposeful misinformation and propaganda and hate speech."

Sometimes people say sorry when they don't mean it. And surprise, surprise, people don't believe a word. So what makes an apology real? Here are some tests...
