		<title>Thus was wrong about Methadrone, sort of, uh, I guess</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Actually I quite like smoking and all the things advertised on this poster so it shows how messed up I am and how tricky and pointless it is to pontificate about this sort of malarky.


A couple of posts back Thus got on an uncharacteristically high horse about the dangers of Methadrone. My comments were not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Conclusive evidence that Oxbridge produces financially illiterate, lying sociopaths.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ed Balls went to Oxbridge, thus making him eminently eligible to lead 'New' Labour through its next incarnation as the Pinochio Party. Then again, so did all the other 'contenders' as did most of the Coalition cabinet, but let's stick with Balls for a minute . . . .]]></description>

		<title>New Labour gambles on turkeys not voting for Christmas in May</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The UK media have been scratching their pointy heads of late as the opinion poll gap between New Labour and the Tories has closed to indicate at best a hung parliament. Despite looming and actual strikes, a record budget deficit with no prospect of recovery, real and impending tax rises, unemployment levels at a 30 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Methadrone IS dangerous. Knock it on the head right now</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Shilly-shallying about what to do about Chinese designer &#8216;plant food&#8217; drug Methadrone/Mephedrone/MCat is another unwelcome example of how New Labour&#8217;s passive/aggressive approach towards protecting citizens&#8217; rights does the reverse. It&#8217;s enough to drive a man to spliff.
Last October, former NL drug czar, the (perhaps) aptly named Professor David Nutt resigned/was sacked from the Advisory Council on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Australian researchers discover the heaviest element yet known to science</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This report came to me by email, so it must be true.
Queens University researchers have discovered the heaviest element yet known to science. The new element, Governmentium (symbol=Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.
These 312 particles are held together by forces [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why Quality is important and why we need more of it</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A bunch of people out there believe that doing things better is the answer to our economic woes. I can&#8217;t argue with that, so I&#8217;ve recently joined the Chartered Quality Institute as its External Affairs spokesman, because I firmly believe that until and unless we get to grips with the wholly unnecessary and avoidable malaise which has [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Yellow Peril have executed one of our heroin smugglers. Send in the gunboats.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Clearly the Chinese government has a poor grasp of history. Last time they tried to stop English dope peddlers we sent gunboats up the Yellow River and pounded their Mandarin asses until they agreed to be addicted to opium.
In those great days we were helped by the US, then Imperial apprentices, now big swinging dicks. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Afghan democracy postponed in an orgy of hypocrisy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thus predicted this outcome so long ago and so many times that I can scarcely be bothered to highlight our previous posts. Yet the grotesque reality of the US, Britain, NATO and especially the UN rewarding endemic fraud, corruption and weak government by a second term, all enacted under the banner of democracy, surpasses all [...]]]></description>

		<title>Freedom of speech &#8211; Sri Lankan style</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this year the world&#8217;s media were largely banned from reporting in the North and East of Sri Lanka, with poignant echoes of Israel&#8217;s stance in Gaza. Some of us &#8211; mea culpa &#8211; believed the government when they claimed that it was largely for the safety of journalists and to avoid fanning the flickering [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Legacy of Abuse in Sri Lanka &#8211; Nakba in the Indian ocean</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This article,  by Anna Neistat, appeared in Foreign Policy in Focus, 16 October, 2009. Thus is publishing it because like the rest of the sane world, I am aghast that the actions of the Sri Lankan government are becoming more sinister by the day. Something should &#8211; and could &#8211; be done. Hit them where [...]]]></description>
