If you're talking about the Ancient Romans, they wouldn't have heard of Christianity but if you're talking about Christians, who couldn't badge themselves by their official HQ, Jerusalem, on account o ...

Everyone uses religion as a badge of identity and the British Isles are a good test bed.

Ah yes, Gorillas. Use 'em all the time. But I can't see the Co-op lasting much longer. Presumably they can't use zero hour contracts. This is just the sort of real time, all the time, failure is not a ...

There's a big difference. NISA, Spar and suchlike are corner shops owned and operated by individuals. They are no better (and no worse) than your standard Asian. The Co-op is simply their wholesale su ...

My favourite recurring piece of AE was on show at the Blackpool South by-election result. Up steps the Labour candidate, having won a resounding but entirely predictable victory. He has, remember, jus ...
