		<description><![CDATA[As a former Labour Party member who is now a sort-of supporter, albeit semi-lapsed (can you see how painfully I&#8217;m sitting on the fence here?), each year I try and make it my business to tune in to our great leader&#8217;s speech to the massed ranks of the faithful at the party conference. Sadly, I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What a wonderful day it&#8217;s been for British democracy. Forget about the Whitehall farces of old, because the real farce was happening just down the road in&#160;Westminster.
Warning: the following invective will probably lack coherent and carefully thought out arguments. Neither will it employ my usual attempts at elegant&#160;wording.
Why? Because I&#8217;m in a fucking awful mood, [...]]]></description>

Accidents are tragic, of course they are - and particularly an accident where a mother is taken from her two young children. But as this ridiculous inquest into [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;We are disappointed that today&#8217;s protests included a significant number of young people playing truant from school. We would urge parents to work in partnership with teachers and the police in dissuading young people from carrying out any further similar unorganised protests&#8221; - Sir John Stevens, Metropolitan Police&#160;Commissioner
Good grief. Is it any wonder that kids [...]]]></description>

I spent much of my childhood having references to the Cuban missile crisis [...]]]></description>
