Parliamentary summer recess usually means one thing: rubbish news. Sport sometimes fills the gaps but politics around the world is wholeheartedly ignored whilst the summer sun distracts Fleet Street from hardcore hacking. Picnics, Chelsea Flower Show, Henley Royal Regatta and the like steal the eye of analysis from hot topics such as Zimbabwe and the [...]

The Olympics must have claimed all the good judges for Henley Royal Regatta since the management have been forced to make way for a moorhen in the judges box. Steward, Di Ellis, insists that the bird does not have the correct access badge and so is not actually part of the judiciary’s proceedings in this [...]

Nepal is in the final stages of booting out its centuries-old monarchy. The royal flag has been lowered at the main palace and the new national flag hoisted in its place. A new assembly has voted out the royal administration, which briefly assumed absolute power following a massacre of the royals by one of their [...]

We’ve been spammed. Hard. We’re still trying to work out how and why it occurred, and how we can best mitigate the problems it has already thrown up, but our rudimentary investigation has demonstrated one thing which has wider implications for the entire web population: at least 28,000 other websites have been similarly attacked!

Every day for the last month or so, the British press has featured the Hilary vs Barack conetst in its top headlines. Not only is the coverage really, really boring but it is never put in context. The wider story of a build-up to a possible change of government features little. Any differences in policy [...]

Patron Saint of England
