I had sex with my brother but I don't feel guilty

This is a personal story (not mine). I'm not highlighting this as a salacious story, but because it's a subject I'm genuinely interested in. Sexual relationships between siblings, then. Is it one of these things that you say you would never, ever, ever do... until you find...

Crime falls, but stabbings not just an urban problem

I'm pretty fascinated (and concerned) by knife crime, and the manner in which it has gone from 'nought to 60 in 3.4 seconds'. According to this piece from the Times, it is not (as one may expect) just an urban issue. "Gordon Brown promised more beat officers to help tackle...

The Sarkozy Mediterranean Romance Show

I give here my opinion about the Mediterranean 43 nations gathering under the auspices of President Sarkozy. In Israel there is no great enthusiasm when seeing the  receptions at the Champ Elysee. The pictures...

Blog posting: Is "black hole" a racially insensitive term?

I've never yet tallied the two up in my mind, but perhaps this is a valid point. In my daily life, I try to think about the language that I use, to try to see if it may be offensive. I don't agree that such measures are 'political correctness gone mad', as some like to say;...

Hit her, baby, one more time (Britney as a representation of a horrible trait...

"Who can believe that there is anything more to say about Britney Spears at this point? But, alas, there is. Spears has come to represent something -- something important enough that it keeps rearing its head. As has been pointed out before, she embodies the disdain in which...

Religion causes harm, says poll

Very. very interesting. This is a sign, no doubt, of the increasingly secular society in Britain. I'm not sure if I fully agree that religion causes 'harm' although there's merit to the argument when you consider the amount of wars going on in the name of religion. I grew up...

Guns - where are they all coming from?

This is a question I've asked a few times myself. The UK, in what seems a very short time, has seen a sharp rise in gun-related crime. This article points the finger at the Tories and Michael Howard - a former home secretary - for releasing two criminals early. Now, Michael...

More prisons are not the answer to punishing criminals, says poll

"A Guardian/ICM poll published today overturns the assumption that the public think tough prison sentences are the best way to tackle crime. It shows that a majority of voters think the government should scrap its...
