Kim Jong-il Looking at Things

It’s not shiny or new, but it is the funniest tumblr in the dear leader’s world.

Anti-Peadophile Protestor in Balls-Up

After coming out on top in another successful bout in the House of Commons, Ed Balls could be forgiven for feeling pretty pleased with himself. Saturday’s TUC demonstration perhaps brought him down to earth, however; nestled in the press coverage about rioting Anarchists and questions over Ed Miliband’s judgement was this gem: Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls [...]

Who Became the Labour Leader?

I think we all know the answer to that question – Ed Miliband defied the odds to beat his brother to become the leader of the Labour Party. Yet, journalists at the Scotsman seem to have got the result a little bit mixed up, going by the headline to this article.

Sticking it to the Man, Maaaaaaan

I’m all for a bit of youth rebellion. In fact, I spend a lot of my time trying to get young people motivated against the cuts, the unemployment and all the bad stuff that’s going down at the moment. But check out this guy – he sure knows a thing or two about young people [...]

Sorry Mr Crow (I Am Fo’ Reeeeeeal)

Following yesterday’s post about the Daily Mail’s smear tactics, it would seem we have a rather happier tabloid-based story to share as well.

Without further ado, we would like to present today’s exclusive… [...]

Alas, I’m afraid things have just got worse. Paul the Octopus, the eight tentacled squid of psychic [...]

Modern Warfare Made Easy

Our series of articles based upon James Connolly’s ‘Socialism Made Easy’ seem to have taken a bit of a break. In the meantime, I thought it would be a good idea to explore some of Connolly’s other contributions to socialist thought. One passage in particular has always stuck out for me, in which Connolly discussed [...]

This Season’s Must Have (for Cuban Revolutionaries)

The Guardian reports on seismic changes at the heart of the Cuban government – the ditching of the classic military look and the adoption of the guayabera. In the revolution’s heyday an olive-green uniform was the favoured official garment but Cuba has now embraced a looser, floppier look: the guayabera. The foreign ministry has ordered [...]
