What's the point of social mobility? It still leaves some in the gutter | Zoe Williams
25 May 2012, 1:18 am
Nick Clegg's desire to fast-stream clever kids out of deprivation leaving the rest facing shabby prospects is hardly communism It's an interesting week that sees Vince Cable accused of being a socialist ( by the Tory donor Adrian Beecroft ) and Nick Clegg accused of "communist tactics" (by the headmaster of a private school, Tim Hands). What would Marx say? (Coincidentally, I have this written ...

Ratzinger's Faith
15 May 2012, 8:02 am
I first became acquainted with the writings of Tracey Rowland in the pages of the Tablet, where she is a fairly regular contributor. I am not sure why I did not see her book “Ratzinger’s Faith” when it was published by Oxford Press in 2008.

Unstoppable | Bad Astronomy
9 May 2012, 10:41 am
My willingness to fight has seen some major impediments in the past few weeks. The increase in antireality nonsense seems like a growing tsunami. Antivax health threats. Global warming denial on a major (and heavily funded) scale. The ugliness yesterday in North Carolina . And even though we’ve had some great victories, it’s still an endless road, always uphill, always against the wind. Despair ...
Brave leftie Blogger Exposes My Ryan Suck-Up
30 April 2012, 4:58 pm

DJ Taylor: How to spot a leftie – an idiot's guide - The Independent
26 May 2012, 6:19 pm
How in these fraught and politically incoherent times do you identify a genuine left-winger? Thirty years ago there was a ready-made socialist's catechism to hand. Does the candidate believe in the virtues of nationalisation? Does he (or she) concede the ...

leftie word, used as a weapon to beat up those who challenges their dogma. No, it's a word in common usage to describe a certain kind of hateful behaviour. EVERYONE should be free to speak their mind. I remember as a child the ...

Silence. The union’s reaction was quick and predictable – people will die. Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson, a
leftie who is beholden to the unions for his political power, reacted quickly and predictably, with outrage. The phone lines lit up ...
The Philippines heart Lady Gaga - Bloggernews.net
18 May 2012, 6:57 pm
No, the Catholics here in the Philippines are not boycotting Lady Gaga: these are Protestant protests. Old
leftie Bishop Cruz is blasting about corruption, the RH Bill and the plans of the elites to legalize divorce on his website, but not Gaga.
