Apologies for the lack of posts recently – I’ve been helping out with the local council byelection (we gained votes from both Labour and the Tories, even though the Tories did their hardest campaigning in years in this ward) and I’ve also had some extremely bad stuff going on in my personal life, which I [...]

There are so many things going on in Final Crisis: Superman Beyond 3D 2 that I don’t know where to start talking about it.

If you live in Britain, it is vitally important that you contact your MP, before Monday, and ensure that they are going to vote against the Coroners and Justice Bill. Put simply, this bill allows ministers of the crown to, at whim, do anything they like with any data that they hold on private citizens. [...]

We’re going out tonight, so I don’t have time to do a review of Superman Beyond 3D until tomorrow (suffice to say I now know what I want on my gravestone, should I die). In the meantime, some quick links: Pillock and the Mindless ones talk about how great I am. There’s some other stuff [...]

The Carnival On Modern Liberty is an online ‘blog carnival’ – an attempt to engage the wider ‘blogosphere’ in debates about what freedom means, in the runup to the Convention on Modern Liberty. James Graham, of Quaequam Blog, is organising it, and anyone in Britain can take part. The two things they’ve asked people to [...]

Someone called Bob Temuka has just started a comic blog that those of you who like my writing about comics will definitely enjoy. Only discovered his blog today in my trackbacks, and it looks like he’s not been doing it very long, but there’s some good stuff on there. Check it out…
