If you have a problem, if no-one else can help…

…and if you can find him, maybe you can hire the A-Team.

Free at last

The Friday Thing, that mighty weekly email organ of import, full of meaty satirical goodness (plus some stuff by me) is no longer available via paid subscription but instead is now free, free, free. As is the vast back issue archive.

Get over there and sign up. You won’t regret it.

The Little Red Book

The Little Red Book of New Labour Sleaze is out. I’m in it, writing about “astroturfing“.

Once you get past a few of the pieces’ sniggering schoolboy prurience with regard to ministers’ sex lives, particularly (backs against the walls, lads!) those of gay ministers, and what I thought was a innuendo-stuffed misrepresentation of the Ken Livingstone/Oliver Feingold fiasco, the book is actually a pretty good primer of the high crimes and misdemeanours committed since 1997.

Downloadable Palast

Greg Palast is the author of the mighty The Best Democracy Money Can Buy and the journalist who broke the “Lobbygate” cash for access scandal in 1998.

He’s got a new book - Armed Madhouse - coming out soon and you can download MP3s of excerpts from it, read by both Palast and Seinfeld/Curb Your Enthusiasm comedy god Larry David.

Rachel North: Meeting the Home Secretary

I had expected something grander, but there was the Home Secretary, the M.P of Norwich South, at his desk, in a small office clearly visible through a glass front. Mr Clarke saw us, and got up from his desk and stepped outside his office, and greeted us, shaking our hands, and saying ‘Oh, so you are here already, do come in’. His handshake was warm. He did not ask me for proof of identification.

A couple of treats

In case you missed it, a new page of Get Your War On was posted a couple of weeks back.

And, Jon Ronson has both series of his totally brilliant radio show “Jon Ronson on…” available to download for free on his website. Definitely worth a listen - hilarious and heartbreaking all at the same time.

Bit late with these (apologies to Gary) but over at Coffee and PC are a couple of good pieces on blogging. Here and here. I’m quoted in the articles but don’t let that put you off.
