		<description><![CDATA[New revelations about the death of Ian Tomlinson highlight the benefits of this media-saturated society, while Bob Quick&#8217;s embarrasing mistake shows its dangers. 
When a man died at the anti-G20 protests in London at the beginning of this month, it seemed an open and shut case. Ian Tomlinson died of a heart attack; police had [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bisher al-Rawi was a UK-based informant for the MI5.  As a way of saying thanks for all the hard work he put into liaising with and providing information on people under watch, the agency forwarded incorrect information to the CIA, and al-Rawi was kidnapped, put in nappies and a blindfold, strapped to a stretcher, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’m seeing London through new eyes since I’ve been back.  The thing that has struck me the most is the omnipresent environmental awareness: it almost makes me feel a little out-hippied at times.  
Carbon footprints and organics are not topics left for soap-dodging Marxist vegetarians to rant about – environmental affairs are so [...]]]></description>

Yet in the last few months I have been responsible for over three tonnes of carbon [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve come to find the clunk and whirr of closed circuit tv cameras turning to follow my movements as I walk to and from work quite reassuring. It seems sometimes like I’m stepping into Orwell’s Big Brother world every time I leave the house, and more than finding it frightening, I find it comforting.

One station before I’m due to get off the train yesterday a girl of roughly the same age as me boards and sits beside me, mobile clamped to ear. As the train bounces along, the quiet normality of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve studiously ignored recent media speculation around when Tony Blair might stand down as British Prime Minister – it’s all seemed rather academic, uninformed, and boring. Now there’s some movement, which brings to mind The Big Lebowski’s dancing landlord – painfully clumsy.

Blair’s been PM for nine years now, and it’s universally accepted that it’s time [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The train back to London had only just left Cardiff when we stopped in a tunnel. For about 40 minutes. No-one was impressed. Smoke from the engine seeped into the carriage, and everyone’s mobile phone conversations were louder without the low rumble of the wheels on the track to drown them out.

		<description><![CDATA[A very quiet, closed-up Sunday afternoon, in a very quiet, closed-up town near Cardiff. My intentions were to hire a mountain bike and enjoy the sunshine, but I apparently for the less actively inclined it would seem like a good time for a piss up. 

After getting to Brecon, theoretically an hour from Cardiff, in [...]]]></description>
