  • Costa Concordia or London Tube: No special treatment for women

      As fresh revelations about the Costa Concordia tragedy hit the headlines, including allegations of rich passengers paying to be given lifeboat places as the ship sank, murky moral questions linger.   When push really does come to shove and decisions must be made about whose life is ...
  • Playboy twins, puritans, what's the difference?

      What do Celebrity Big Brother Playboy twins Karissa and Kristina Shannon and this terrifying woman in the Daily Mail have in common? More than you think.   On the surface of it, the women are polar opposites: The twins made their name in the Playboy Mansion, famous for being hot, ge...
  • Horoscopes are bullshit but I love them

      It's normal to live with a certain amount of conflict and inconsistency, I tell myself. For instance, on one level, I have absolutely no interest in what the latest eye-gougingly average celebrity is doing with their five minutes in the tabloids. And yet, week after week, I find myself che...

  • Jeremy Clarkson 'shoot the strikers' comments: Big deal?

    I never thought I'd see the day I was defending Jeremy Clarkson but here I am, god help me.   Yesterday the ever-obnoxious Clarkson appeared on The One Show and shared his less than liberal views on what should be done with the strikers.   "I'd have them all shot," he said. "I would ...

  • Justin Bieber not a virgin? Never Belibed him anyway

      As far as creating a quasi-religious cult goes, the marketing execs behind Justin Bieber should be awarded full marks. The fanatical devotion of ‘Beliebers’ to their demi-God reached fever-pitch last week when allegations that the 16-year-old singer fathered a child became publ...
  • George Osbourne's wanker joke is insight into psyche

    The Eton set just don't get it. Here's why that matters.   George, George. You got it so wrong didn’t you? Now everyone thinks you’re a tosser. And that’s the economy aside. For those who missed it, last week the chancellor made such a stomach-churningly misguided attempt ...
