Blogging for the blog of it. May 14, 2007 in Feminism. Not for the easily offended! After a run in with Paris Hilton’s lawyers, Gallery of the Absurd. Hilton’s displayed crotch in a host of celebrity mags is more of an assault on womanhood, I think, than a couple of crabs painted on the side of the boat, but more on that later. The fact is, thanks to the papparazi that Paris courts so assiduously, most of us have seen Paris’ crotch, however her crabs have yet to be photographed. Outrage. It is the ul...

Blogging for the blog of it. Race, Class and Migration: Tackling the Far Right. May 12, 2007 in Uncategorized. The preferences and the prejudices of the swing voter in the marginal constituency retain a disproportionate influence within our political system. As such, the modern politician seeks to neutralise or triangulate around difficult political terrain. There is no better example of this terrain than the current debates around race and demographic change. Those negatively affected by migration perce...
