When is a blog not a blog? [ Show blog ]
27 Jul : 13:34
Interesting question I think.

Anyone who is registered to Twitter with a large amount of 'followers' and also a large 'following' will doubtless be aware of the flood of messages about the various blogs on offer.

These messages range from the standard 'new blog post' with an accompanying smiley picture, to something like 'read my blog & learn how to....' normally finishing off with some kind of ...


Double jeopardy case [ Show blog ]
16 Jul : 22:05
The Criminal Justice Act 2003 abolished the 800 year old rule that a person could not be tried twice for the same crime. This only applies if there is new and compelling evidence. This is most likely to take the form of DNA evidence and new witness evidence.

In the latest case, Mario Celaire, was originally acquitted of the killing of his girlfriend back in 2001. No-one seems to have asked the que...


Michael Jackson: Profit From Tragedy [ Show blog ]
14 Jul : 14:00
Since the demise of William Shakespeare and who all have followed in the public eye there was an air of inevitability that people would profit from the untimely death of Michael Jackson.

Stars like Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and Marc Bolan have all, through their premature deaths, become even greater cultural icons.

The work of many artists, often penniless in life, have g...


DVD review: 'Let The Right One In' [ Show blog ]
13 Jul : 15:49
I will start my review by saying that this Swedish film, due out soon on DVD, is possibly one of the most captivating I have seen at the cinema in many years.

Directed by Thomas Alfredson, the plot concerns a young boy who is bullied at school and the impact of a new arrival on the housing estate he lives in.

I will describe it as a romantic horror film; something of real beauty and power.

The tragic...

Referrals: You've got to have a system [ Show blog ]
10 Jul : 10:39
We all know that referrals can be the most powerful and profitable source of new clients.

Yet most of us find that we’re simply not generating enough referrals of a high enough quality to reach our practice growth objectives.

What’s the problem here? Are we mistaken in our assumption that referrals are such an effective business development method? Or is it an execution issue – we’re simply ...


Phorm out of sorts with the big ISP's [ Show blog ]
09 Jul : 14:01
Yesterday saw the latest blow to Phorm and a further victory to privacy rights groups as Talk Talk became the latest ISP to bow out of using the company's advert tracking system.

Coming after allegations of collusion with the Home Office, BT's own decision to drop the system and the commencement of legal action by the EC against the company, this may signal the end of the road for Phorm.

So what is ...

Ever since declaring an emergency in April, Mexican President Felipe Calderon has propelled Swine Flu to the upper echelons of the media with the Daily Express in particularly fine form predicting all sorts of doomsday scenarios for the UK as the virus spread to this country.

There were some quite brilliant performances with Pendulum, Dizzee Rascal, The Prodigy, Friendly Fires & the Yeah Yeah Yeahs to name but ...

Excerpted from Birmingham Weekly Report by Kyle Whitmire

In the waning days of the Bush Administration, rumors ran rampant that the White House was plotting another front in the War on Terror - regime change in Iran. Such a fight could come in many forms, or so it was told. Maybe invasion. Probably an air strike carried out by...

In a country where discrimination is quite rightly frowned upon and laws are made to stop the perpetrators, one of the last bastions of legal discrimination has been allowed to stand for the time being after a recent ruling by the European Court of Justice said UK laws were not in breach of the EU's Equal Treatment at Work directive.

However with a review on the UK law set parliament due for 2011 a...


How can Nick Griffin & Geert Wilders represent us? [ Show blog ]

If the aftermath of the EU elections has taught us something, it will be that the far right cannot be ignored.

The BNP won 2 seats and the Dutch far right 'Party for Freedom' won 4 seats during the elections.

But behind their slickly orchestrated campaigns of rhetoric is the real truth behind these parties. The far right agenda has been, and will always be one of hatred and segregation.

Think about it carefully....

Leeds United borrowed heavily against future performance, basing their income projections on that performance and then promptly fell from grace within two years of reaching the Champions League semi-finals in a mire of debt and mounting arguments about who was to blame and who should go in the aftermath.

The end result is a team plying their trade in the third tier of En...
