Jonny Dymond has a piece out pretending to analyze the recent joint-statement from Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson. They’re understandably “gloomy” about Congress’s chances of making any kind of useful deal to avoid the US heading over the fiscal cliff after the ill-begotten debt agreement from last year expires.

When he was alive, Arafat got the kid glove treatment from the BBC and even has he lies rotted away, they STILL want to portray this vile monster as some sort … Continue reading
Paul Mason tells us that there is a ‘parallel world of ideas out there where millions are denied a voice.’ ‘As activists come to the defence of a blogger in China who made the mistake of making a joke about the Communist Party Congress, Newsnight’s Paul Mason talks to three Chinese writers about what it is like working in a climate of censorship and repression.’ An alternate view … Continue reading
