After Bruno Waterfields cracking story about the EU trying to ban olive oil on restuarant tables, Harry Cole has a tale about conkers. The story has rattled cages, including that of Anne-Marie Trevelyan Writing as @annietrev, she comments on Twitter: And we wonder why Farage sounds credible when we are locked into this madness?! @MrHarryCole.

Oh what a tangled web central bankers weave when they practice to deceive Last nights panic in Tokyo, where the Nikkei dropped a stomach churning 7 per cent, demonstrates just how difficult its going to be for the worlds central banks to exit their loose money policies. Its not even as if Ben Bernanke, chairman [...]Newspapers were right to publish horrific images of the Woolwich terror attack

Havent the terrorists won, and succeeded in communicating their message, when today every newspaper in the land carries images of the appalling scenes in Woolwich? Alongside the pictures are quoted the rantings of one of the alleged perpetrators. While I understand the concerns being aired, ironically, on social media which is usually the wild [...]Jeremy Hunt is taking on GPs. Remember that the BMA is a trade union like any other

Mostly, I blame Doctor Findlay, though we journalists havent helped either. Journalistic convention abhors repeated words, so when were writing about, say, GPs, the second reference to GPs generally has to be something other than GPs. The favoured alternative term for general practitioner is family doctor. Is there a nicer, cuddlier phrase than that? Who [...]Over a million people may have accidentally ‘liked’ a covert EDL Facebook page

Since the Woolwich attack, far-Right groups like the English Defence League (EDL) have hugely magnified their presence online, in an effort to harness public anger. This has largely been successful; their Facebook page has received thousands of new likes, and their Twitter account has garnered many new followers. However, it is possible that they are [...]Woolwich attack: confusing, horrific, bizarre – the horror that made literally no sense

We often talk about terrorism, and the violence associated with it, as being mindless or senseless. But we dont actually mean it. What were actually trying to say is its pointless or ineffectual; that its perpetrators wont achieve their objectives, whatever they may be. But for me, yesterdays barbaric act of terror in Woolwich was [...]France says ‘non’ to globalisation

If you want to know whats wrong with the French economy, the findings of this survey say it all. Out of 59 countries surveyed by the Swiss business school, IMD, France has the most negative attitude among business executives both to globalisation and the need for economic and social reform. Basically, the French have got [...]Cub Scout’s honour: Woolwich heroine Ingrid Loyau-Kennett shows that civic values are not dead

I dont know whether Id have had the courage to do what Ingrid Loyau-Kennett did yesterday at the scene of the Woolwich murder. The cub scout leader was on the bus when she saw what she imagined was a car crash victim on the road. She had trained in first-aid and her instant response was [...]
