All The More Reason. Why don't you read. 8216;En me regardant dans les yeux…’. April 30, 2007, 10:40 pm. Nicolas Sarkozy and Segolene Royal will debate each other, live, for the first time in the campaign this Wednesday. Doubtless, each side will be honing its tactics; will Sarkozy take his usual approach of verbally steamrolling his opponent into submission? My favourite clip so far (and, believe me, I’m working my way through all of them) features Jacques Chirac. Roi de nos jours. On Monday 30th April,...

The Euston Manifesto – The Euston Manifesto

For a renewal of progressive politics. For a Renewal of Progressive Politics. We are democrats and progressives. The present initiative has its roots in and has found a constituency through the Internet, especially the blogosphere. It is our perception, however, that this constituency is under-represented elsewhere — in much of the media and the other forums of contemporary political life. B Statement of principles. 2 No apology for tyranny. We decline to make excuses for, to indulgently understand, reac...

All The More Reason. Why don't you read. November 7, 2006, 3:52 pm. Those of us who support Iraqis struggling, against the odds, to build a democratic, federal republic atop the stinking quagmire of corruption and indiscriminate cruelty left by its soon-to-be-departed steward must also pause before giving our support to this sentence for a more fundamental reason. The death penalty is wrong. It is as wrong in Texas as it is in Tikrit; as barbaric in Rangoon as it is in. Similarly, sentimental appeals to ...

All The More Reason. Why don't you read. When Progressives Leave the Field of Play. July 25, 2007, 5:23 pm. Filed under: Euston Manifesto. I like Johann Hari, and I often find myself nodding along involuntarily with much of what he writes. At the time of the Iraq war, he was one of a few leftists who spoke out in favour of intervention. In his latest piece. Though, he goes one step further:. The immediate imposition of mass privatisations, causing mass unemployment and sectarian unrest? I have some sympa...

All The More Reason. Why don't you read. March 31, 2007, 2:52 pm. Here is a somewhat uninteresting article on the nature of consciousness. I link to it in large part to draw attention to the dearth of pieces that discuss this subject in attractive terms (sometimes autobiographies do a great job). On consciousness, Broks says:. It matters more than anything. Of course it does. Yet the fact of its mattering so much goes mostly unremarked by scientists and philosophers of mind. I doubt it. The cat? Nabokov’...

All The More Reason. Why don't you read. Nigel Kennedy’s Vivaldi. January 13, 2008, 12:56 am. Here’s a link. To Nigel Kennedy playing a mean Vivaldi – the first movement to the Winter Concerto. Powerful stuff. Anne Applebaum on Benazir Bhutto. January 2, 2008, 9:40 pm. An interesting take on the West’s perception of Bhutto compared to some of her own countrymen.

All The More Reason. Why don't you read. We’re pacifists, and you? August 29, 2007, 5:47 am. Linked from aldaily, which discusses the growing peace movements in the West. I can’t vouch for how good it is because I was turned off it by this line:. Invariably portrayed in the media as a charismatic and (these days) grandfatherly champion of decency, Galtung. A lifelong enemy of freedom. The italics are mine.) Has Galtung been nominated for an enemy of freedom award? Evidence of sex differences found! Well ...

All The More Reason. Why don't you read. NO SMOKING PLEASE, WE’RE SKITTISH. August 31, 2006, 12:54 am. The other day I had the chance to have a conversation in a bar with a pregnant woman as wide as tall at closing time. How shall ye name the child? I wondered if it really wants to share its new home with curtained off areas for smack users and a bathroom stall filled with teams of men stuffing their noses full of snow. As an addendum, it’s interesting to note that some university campuses are tryi...
