And a prime example of an underserved, tarnished reputation is that of alcohol. Seen as a vice, more harmful than healthful - in binging amounts this can't be denied. But what about 'moderation' referring to two or less drinks a day for men and one or less for women? Continue reading...
But don't for a minute assume that 'organic' says anything about whether the food you're about to eat is healthy. Organic crisps are still dangerously high in fat and salt. Organic lemon cookies still contain a glut of sugar. Continue reading...
As Wenger's changed and Arsenal have become less competitive, I've warmed to him but also, unashamedly, become a critic of what he's done and what he's trying to do. Continue reading...
Even if the entire country manages to avoid a flood, getting home this Christmas is going to be difficult. It always is; what we need is some sort of sled on skies that's pulled by a magical flying mammal with antlers... sadly, there's a rotund gentleman in Lapland with a patent on that. Continue reading...
How do you change things? Patiently. You invest in people. You build communities around liberal ideas. You nourish dissent. Happy 20th anniversary, Moscow School of Political Studies. Continue reading...
If anyone wants to get into this industry, I'd tell them to work on their striptease - no-one likes a messy performer. There will undoubtedly be wardrobe malfunctions, we all have them, but the more you practice things like corset removal, the more you'll be able to pretend it's all part of the act!

The top three most common regrets in women's top five lists of regret were in descending order - Lost virginity to 'wrong' partner - 24% of women cite this as a top five regret, in contrast to only 10% of men. Then came 'Cheated on past or present partner' - 23% of women put this as a top five regret in comparison to 18% of men. Third was - 'Relationship progressed ''too fast'' sexually' - 20% of women put this as a top five regret, while this only applied to 10% of men. Continue reading...
So Wintour it appears is actually a totally valid choice for the post (if you don't mention that time PETA threw a dead raccoon onto her dinner plate to protest her love of wearing fur) the question is would she want to? Continue reading...
We all know that it's one of the biggest barriers to aid effectiveness, a primary concern among the UK public when considering whether and how we should respond to global poverty, and a major obstacle faced by thousands of hard-working local community organisations in poor countries. Continue reading...
I've got a blind spot where the word 'queer' is concerned, unless I'm paying someone £50 to whisper it into my ear. When my sexuality is used as a weapon, the comedy club becomes a schoolyard and I'm 14 again, tall and skinny and femmy and mouthy, a huge ego and a low self esteem. Continue reading...
A delicious twist on possibly the most well-known Italian dish, my tagliatelle with beef fillet is a great weekend winter warmer. The ragu itself is so simple and is a great staple sauce which you can use in different dishes; the classic combination of beef and celery is fantastic. Nothing complements this tasty treat better than a nice bottle of Chianti Classico. Continue reading...

It is not clear to me why the human rights abuses within Jammu and Kashmir (Indian administered) have not been headline news all over the world. Certainly, the Indian media appears to have muted the events in Kashmir. Continue reading...
Perhaps the Scots will blaze a trail for economic sovereignty in the EU, just as the North Dakotans did in the U.S. Continue reading...
In this edition of Weeklings!, I argue on behalf of Kate Middleton's relevance, pointing out why the lovely lady is a worthy member of pop culture. Stick around for the end, when I offer a bunch of perfect names for her kids. Continue reading...
In the workplace, it's going to make absolute sense to consult employees on how they would like to be involved in future direction of the company. Increasingly, employees will be insisting that the companies whose success depends on them, play a wider, more purposeful social role. Continue reading...
Electric guitars are, visually, far and away the most arresting and varied instruments in the world. The electric guitar is the most ubiquitous instrument on the planet. Whether you're in deepest Serbia, Thailand, Peru, Greenland, if there is popular contemporary music being played, homegrown even, you will hear an electric guitar. Continue reading...
The feeling of wanting to be a princess never leaves, and it's a good thing, it teaches girls to be strong, and passionate about themselves, their family and their careers. Continue reading...
We're all born with deep natural capacities for creativity, and systems of mass education tend to suppress them. It is increasingly urgent to cultivate these capacities and to rethink the dominant approaches to education to make sure that we do. Continue reading...
Although Curiosity is not designed to verify life, we are left to wonder -- if Curiosity did discover life on Mars, what would be the impact of that discovery to the general public and to the future of human and robotic exploration of Mars? Continue reading...
Sunday marks World Anti-Corruption Day, a time to pause and ask ourselves: is corruption getting worse or are we simply becoming more open about discussing the problems that exist? Continue reading...
We have our place in history. During last year's awards Helen Boaden, BBC Head of News, approached soon-to-be BBC Director-General George Entwistle to warn him about an up-coming Newsnight film about Jimmy Savile. If he'd picked up on that, he'd probably still be director general. Continue reading...
In rejecting Leveson's minimalist but essential proposal on statute David Cameron has divided his coalition and party while letting down the victims of press misconduct who genuinely believed he would do the right thing. Worse still, he has put his perception of the political interests of the Tory party ahead of the national interest. Continue reading...
