The lady with the universal coat of a thousand colours (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It has taken an event of truly world-historical magnitude to bring yours sincerely out of the reveries of a snap leave. Music is in the air again, disturbing and disrupting the cacophonous echoes of thunderous artillery and the murderous buzzing of drones in several theatres of human contention and hate-soaked disputations. From Lebanon, through Gaza to the smouldering debris of Kiev and the apocalyptic ruins of Sudan, the guns and airborne barbarity went quiet for a moment this past week overpo
Michael Jackson as Metaphor (opens the original)
Read excerpt
About a fortnight ago, the world lost one of its greatest musical icons ever, Michael Jackson.

But we may not be alone. It is the cinematography of the undead and the resolutely undying. Ever heard of the play, Anyone for Denis? It is a satirical revue of Margaret Thatcher and her husband Denis, a rich and diffidently urbane businessman and hat-tipping country squire, at the apogee of her thirteen year rollercoas
Devolution and its declensions (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Not unexpectedly, the spirited devolutionary drive of the current administration is facing some considerable backlash from vital stakeholders. The quiet murmuring in the background has given way to occasionally trenchant critiques and even a parliamentary walk out.
