Legal Beagle: A war crimes inquiry; or…, in reply to Sacha,
ego and potentially good PR material methinks - PM got him some guts action

Hard News: The long road to Hit and Run, in reply to Katharine Moody,
with regards to revenge - thats when you would expect leaders up the chain of command to reign in a very natural human desire - revenge had/has no place in our supposed mission, and yet it seems to have been embraced throughout the chain of command right up to the Prime Minister, more shame on us

Hard News: Music! That one album, in reply to Jason Kemp,
and this is something practical we could do to uncover some new talent
not sure about leaning music relating to finding new talent (not the greatest career choice)... but as a educational tool that benefits all other learning and skill in itself its awesome that music education is becoming a more formal part of the syilibus for so many
The music chart thing is embarrassing but isn't unique to here, the fact consumers have access to such huge music libraries will always benefit the biggest artists and those with the biggest marketing budgets in which most local acts simply can't compete, even with all the help they get - offshore you see articles like the recent guardian piece about the vinyl resurgence hurting new artists and indie labels... articles on UK artists not getting enough BBC radio play and the like
Cultural homogenisation is a real concern as our music and culture is really important to our sense of self

Hard News: Friday Music! Digging Doug, in reply to Russell Brown,
