Tuesday morning catchup

The usual story; too many open Firefox tabs and too little time.

1) Honest Reporting have the BBC bang to rights over their recent coverage of Israel 'pounding Gaza'.


2) the Jawa Report have an interesting report on the bile and hatred brewing in the left-wing parts of the Twittersphere.


3) A Digital Spy piece from last December shows Richard bacon to be a bigger tw*t than even I thought:

'Richard Bacon has revealed that Prince Charles caught him laughing during the Queen Mother's funeral.'

4) The Algemeiner has a fascinating article about the beginning of life on Earth and he postulates that Intelligent Design may be the correct theory. Don't dismiss the idea before reading the piece.


5) Alex Masterley is wondering about Peter Mandelson's wealth. Here's how his piece starts:

'So a man who little more than 10 years ago was living in a £250,000 flat, who secured an inheritance of £450,000 and a windfall from some shares of about the same, who has never been paid more than £150,000 in the last 10 years (anything else would have to be registered), on which one would presume tax would be payable and living costs deducted, is some how able to buy an £8 million house.'

The rest is fascinating, absolutely fascinating...
