Paris Hilton

Never mind the critics or the fees, uni is a gift for life

Saturday, 29 September 2012

I was, as is my daily wont, eavesdropping on a conversation on the bus yesterday. And it made my heart sink. The protagonists were two girls in their late teens.

Kate was right to sue over nude pics

Saturday, 22 September 2012

We've had a week of frenzied debate regarding Kate Middleton's bare breasts now and it's clear the only people who think she's not entitled to sunbathe topless in a private place without having to worry about pictures being beamed around the world are greedy magazine proprietors, greedy lawyers and misguided Royal family haters.

If someone killed my child I'd want them to hang, but I would be wrong

Saturday, 22 September 2012

I was hopeful as we lurched further into the 21st century that we would agree as a nation to close the door forever on the most brutal unenlightened elements of our past. But once again there are calls for the return of the death penalty, inspired, as they usually are in modern times, by the killing of a police officer.

I, for one, am not surprised by new findings from the second century which suggest Jesus had a wife.

How Murray served up an answer to his critics

Saturday, 15 September 2012

A few weeks ago, I was sure nothing Andy Murray could do would eclipse this year's great Olympians. I had Bradley Wiggins nailed on for Sports Personality of the Year. But the more I think about it, the more I'm knocked out by Murray's astounding year.

Sorry, but I know that being a mum has made me a far better writer

Saturday, 15 September 2012

It's not often an afternoon radio book programme causes a twitterstorm violent enough to send the BBC cyber-croissants crashing through the stratosphere. But when Radio Scotland's Book Cafe asked 'Does motherhood make women better writers?' this week they were accused of all kinds of misogynistic barbarism for daring to pose such a 'repellent' question.

Power really does corrupt, as Hillsborough proves

Saturday, 15 September 2012

It's a cliche to say power corrupts, but sometimes cliche just means we keep saying it because it's so obviously true.

Spending �30 on a moisturiser doesn’t mean that I’m stupid

Wives like Sam pull in voters

Saturday, 1 September 2012

I'm worried about Mitt Romney's wife. Why, you ask - the Republican presidential candidate's spouse Ann looked to be on good form when she took to the podium to tell America why it should vote for her husband this week.

Ken, gays deserve our respect, just like Paralympians

Saturday, 1 September 2012

Isn't it incredible to think that those about to be celebrated like the most noble of kings and queens at the Paralympic Games would have been hidden away, or even paraded as circus freaks, only a few decades ago?

Brought down to earth by Will.i.am's tacky tune

Saturday, 1 September 2012

I'm in thrall to Nasa's Curiosity rover and the incredible pictures of Mars it has gifted us. I imagine Curiosity like Pixar's Wall-E, with big doleful ET eyes and a thirst for knowledge as heart-rending as that of a joyously excitable little boy on his first day at school.

Friday, 24 August 2012

There’s a little white-haired girl twirling in the surf. She’s singing at the top of her lungs, jumping and spinning around in the cold water, all salty, sandy, full of joy and confidence.

Saturday, 18 August 2012

While London waits to see if the Olympics will have a long-term impact on its tourist trade, Alex Salmond will be crossing his fingers that the new Disney Pixar film Brave, set in the Scottish Highlands, will do a job enticing visitors to explore the fairytale magic of that stunning part of the world.
