Prompted by the Open Rights Group, I wrote and submitted some comments:
I am very concerned that it seems the government [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My weekly treat of the Saturday FT is becoming less and less something to look forward to. It’s not just that the fashion shoots are as gauche as those of newspapers everywhere, or that the odious ‘How to Spend It’ bizarrely channels a middle class aspiring to be hot Russian money in London. Nor that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
On first reading, Sunnyside seems to be a picaresque with a sting in the tail. In the best spirit of Chaplin’s films, this rambling story of World War I and the movies uses slapstick and pathos to wring out tears of laughter and sadness. Many readers set it down, bemused, scratching their heads, wondering what, [...]]]></description>

Garret FitzGerald, Ireland’s Taoiseach in the 1980s and a beloved family friend, died early this morning. Politically, I think of him as the man who took Thatcher’s condescension on the chin to create the Anglo Irish Agreement, and the man with the courage to call time on the Catholic Church’s unquestioned dominance of social policy [...]]]></description>

A year after I first trailed it on Crooked Timber, we published a seminar on Sunnyside,
by Glen David Gold, who also wrote Carter Beats the Devil. Sunnyside is a vast, shiny, dark and funny novel about Charlie Chaplin, the birth of modern celebrity, America’s diffidence and then wild enthusiasm for World War I, two genius puppies and their fame-seeking [...]]]></description>

The response to this speech was overwhelmingly strong and supportive, both in the immediate and [...]]]></description>

Just landed in Edinburgh and with no plans in mind and a mind full of curtains and kitchen fittings, I got an email out of the blue from my Galway cousin, Sophie Coyle, about a gig in Banshee Labyrinth last night. What a fabulous performance &#8211; I just wish I&#8217;d caught more of it. It&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back in June, I was interviewed on Chicago Public Radio&#8217;s foreign affairs program, Worldview. The topic was internationalised domain names and why they&#8217;re such a big deal for much of the world. I have to admit it was a bit of a thrill to be on the same station as the flagship program &#8217;This American Life&#8217;. [...]]]></description>
