Home Rule for East Anglia! 8 Jul 2013 | 10:20 pm
Malcolm has been off-line for the last few weeks, for reasons of temperament and an imminent house-move. He makes an exception because he was re-reading J.B.Priestley’s English Journey. Towards the e...
Think of it as evolution in action 28 May 2013 | 01:14 am
Those who read SciFi in the ’80s will know that one. The rest can wait for illumination. Yesterday’s Observer had a combative piece by Rory Carroll: How wealth of Silicon Valley’s tech elite created a...
I’m out of here! 26 May 2013 | 01:56 am
Malcolm has never, ever, felt the urge to go skiing. In his advanced years he never will. From time to time he may need to be assured this is a decent position to hold. As soon as an acquaintance turn...

“Dave, where did it all go wrong?” 20 May 2013 | 10:17 pm
Malcolm would welcome the source of the famous George Best anecdote, with that punch-line. Some claim it was from George himself. But where did David Cameron’s woes begin? Nick Robinson hasn’t — as fa...
