Wish I'd read this summary before I started watching, half-heartedly, then deciding I didn't have a clue what was going on and deleting all the other eps.

Seems like the most humane thing he's done in his eight years in the job. I applaud him for it, even if he is the chief beneficiary.

Unclear. Indie implied she was mad cos he'd got one over The Law. Of course she may well be responsible for sending her mate down, too, but the lady's not shy and perhaps that meant nothing next to the chance to play Machiavelli and dine out for free on the Daily Mail.

Yes, I meant to add the link to the story in the Indie that explained she lived 3 doors down from them.

This is astonishing. Seems the Tory judge is the Linda Tripp of the Huhne affair. Is this why she got arrested a few months back?

But he's losing the the Baccalaureate, right? He'll still make the syllabus focus more on exams and less on course assessment, but even there it seems he's giving some ground. Don't overestimate the man. I know the right-wing parts of the press see him as their prince in waiting, but it's not...

Starting to think we saw a different movie here. Short of having Django say "this is for my brothers and sisters" every time he offed another trader/slaver I don't see how it could've been more slavery specific. Almost everyone in the film who's involved in the slave trade gets killed. What more...

Easy to make this stuff look important and a worthwhile contribution to debate, but she crossed the line, which is - DON'T ASK FOR CASH. The minute you do it's corruption, not whistleblowing.

Can't you use the January wildcard? Things going quite nicely at the moment - Mata (c), Baines, Suarez, Shawcross... up to second :)

This (from a writer with a fair knowledge of these things) made me laugh.

I'd guess that figure is wildly exaggerated, probably doubled, possibly more, but I can't claim to have any numbers to hand. Presumably there's a lot of polling on this somewhere... and you could have a look around British Future. Their director Sunder Katwala is pretty active and responsive on...

This book on the business of hip hop rather than the music itself is just brilliant. http://www.dancharnas.com/book/ It reads a bit like Easy Tigers/Raging Bulls, lots of overlapping narratives of key, mostly backroom players.

Second shout for Starlust.

Good. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/jan/03/milan-friendly-abandoned-racist-chants

He was mostly shit, even if he did do this. But RVP doesn't make a habit of it, unlike Rooney, who hasn't had a decent tournament since 2004. You could largely put the first one down to injury, but in the last 2 he's gone in rated as England's best player and come out having played the worst...

We must be reading a different music press. I've read next to nothing on Chief Keef and absolutely tons on Kendrick. Which publications/websites are you talking about?

Also like 26, who I'm sure I once saw singing with the Stylistics.

List time The Guardian's policy of ignoring the Football League while forever going on about European top divisions generally drives me up the wall. But that network of national specialists has its uses and I found this interesting, despite being pretty ignorant of football outside...

Roaring back into life, thanks to Channel 4 News tonight. If you haven't seen it, you really should http://www.channel4.com/news/catch-up/ It now seems within hours of what was probably a very minor argument at Downing St gates, the Met officer on duty lied about Mitchell's reaction (the...

Kendrick has singlehandedly made me think I should start paying proper attention to hip hop again. On which note I also like the Roc Marciano a lot. Peaking Lights's schtick is something I can listen to all day Also like the Actress and that weird Sun Araw thing with Congos a lot. Frank O was...
