On the State funding of political parties: why do they want more if they're already getting £1.75 billion? Isn't that enough?

All about bear raids, or, why Oxford shouldn't have a business school.

People lose weight when economic crisis strikes: so should we have some more economic crises to beat obesity?

For those worried that the US doesn't make anything any more: a list of what it does make.

One answer to why we haven't already rebuilt the energy infrastructure the way some would wish: given the regulatory burden, we couldn't even build the one we already have again.

Strange tort laws combined with regulatory burdens can be worse though.

And finally, Netsmith's life, loonie socialists and how to write a modern CV.

Interesting that US manufacturing output has increased by 30% in the last decade. In the UK, it has hardly changed at all over that period (it grew by nearly 20% in the previous decade).

This is the Brown 'economic miracle'.
