So we’ve been here a while now, and it looks like the course is going to be great. A little bit worried about the comment Ian made to our tutor group  that most of them haven’t actually taught before, but now that we’ve started lectures it seems like they’ve got it all sussed. Am I […]
Regrettably Fi Glover’s visit on Monday, 13 February is cancelled and will be rescheduled at a later date.
My new pamphlet, Responsibility Without Power – Lord Justice Leveson’s constitutional dilemma (Abramis Academic, 2012) will be launched in London on 25 October at an event hosted by the Free Speech Network. The launch, complete with drinks and food, will be chaired by John Humphrys. John will also lead a panel discussion between me, John Whittingdale MP, Chairman […]
The UK provided “intelligence or conducted the initial seizure of an individual before he was transferred to (mostly unacknowledged) detention centres … or to one of the CIA covert detention centres, often referred to as ‘black sites’” says the report. With escalating calls for an inquiry into our government’s collusion in torture, will this make […]
Year 1 online assessment marks will be ready for collection from 12 noon today. Either come and collect them from my office, or I’ll distribute them at the start of your politics revision session on Monday.
Last Saturday, I found myself in a precarious position: the strong-willed alpaca I had on a leash was dragging me across the Kentish landscape of Yalding. No, this wasn’t a fever dream. Alpaca walking is the latest creative offering from the forever-innovative well-being industry. This isn’t the first well-being activity to cater for stressed-out animal […]
There will be a shorthand mock exam on 22 September 2010 at 10.00 in room G4-11. All those who have not yet passed 60wpm in the NCTJ shorthand exam must attend.
With the PFA 2015/16 Awards less than a month away and the PFA representatives are making the rounds of the 92 clubs to deliver ballot forms. I thought I would try and predict who will win the awards and make it into the team of the year. Looking at last season’s winners Eden Hazard deservedly […]
On page 7 of The Sunday Times this weekend there was an article on a new breed of ‘super tutors’ who can charge up to £1,000 an hour, a rate which rich parents are happy to pay if it guarantees their children to make it into the best schools and universities. These specialist teachers, […]
Megan Stammers, the 15-year-old schoolgirl from East Sussex, was today found in the French town of Bordeaux. She was discovered along with Jeremy Forrest, her 30-year-old maths teacher after they left the UK last Thursday. The story of this couple had sparked an international campaign to find Megan and Jeremy, encompassing both traditional and social media. For […]
This is something I have been working on for a few months now, when I had the idea of writing an ebook or something similar on my experiences following Chelsea from the arrival of Jose Mourinho in 2004 to the present day. Let me know what you think. I will never forget the night of […]
When I arrived in Paris after the January 2015 terrorist attacks, I was surprised to find that life in the French capital seemed to have gone back to normal. But upon returning a year later, a few months after the Bataclan massacre, I couldn’t help but notice a real change. The state was, and had […]
Just think about this for a second, have you ever actually seen a baby pigeon? I’m guessing you haven’t. It’s because pigeons are very secretive birds. They lay their eggs, only two at a time, in small dark places. That’s why they have adopted new habitat’s under bridges, inside roofs and within our […]
Dear all, As you may have recently been made aware by relentless spamming from myself, Harley Tamplin, Scott Mitchell and James Mullan, our blog Top Four Finish is out and about. And my contribution is the betting side of all things football. So far at the Euros, if you’d have had £1 on everything I’ve […]
If Chelsea were looking for a boost ahead of their crucial clash with Manchester United this weekend, they got it in Munich on Tuesday. Wayne Rooney’s awkward landing towards the end of his side’s 2-1 defeat to Bayern Munich simultaneously had England and United fans praying and Chelsea fans breathing a sigh of relief. Rooney […]
Nicolas Anelka helped himself to a hat-trick as Chelsea got back to winning ways at Stamford Bridge with an easy 5-0 win over Sunderland. It was a bitterly chilly afternoon in West London, but the football on offer warmed the hearts of those who had braved the cold. Joe Cole recovered from an ankle injury […]

“Choose life Choose Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and hope that someone, somewhere cares Choose looking up old flames, wishing you’d done it all differently And choose watching history repeat itself.” The opening lines of the 2017 version of Trainspotting’s chill-inducing “Choose life” monologue sound very much like a modern day mantra for the new generations. And […]
When the News of the World’s royal editor Clive Goodman was arrested and charged in 2006 for illegally tapping in to mobile voicemail messages of members of the royal family, many sources in Fleet Street realised it may be only the tip of the iceberg. “When you’ve got a contact that can do this, everyone […]
To keep if short and sweet – read this, if you already haven’t. It’s all about Brown’s plans for electoral reform and hopefully will be useful for tomorrow’s exam (fingers crossed). How shocking that no action was taken on such reform all the time the FPTP system benefited your party, Gordie. There’s also a lovely little […]
A piece in today’s Observer looks at the effect of the credit crunch on our generation – ‘Generation Y’ – and how much we care about it. The answer based on the students they interviewed? Not a lot.
Many congratulations to CfJ alumna Harriet Robinson (BA Journalism, 2012) who has won the prize for Newcomer of the Year at the Midlands Media Awards 2013. Yet more evidence that i) professional journalism is alive and fighting and ii) CfJ graduates are taking the profession by storm. Harriet said: “Unfortunately I didn’t get to go to the ceremony because I […]
Truly, this is a story with legs. Also feet. And more seriously, the broken bones of the shoe-thrower. There are so many elements to savour it is hard to know where to start. What about the supporter who wanted to put the shoes into a museum, only to find out that the shoes have been […]
