Why am I watching at the moment you might ask? Well you probably aren’t going to but I’m going to give you the answer nonetheless.
The Unit is an awesome TV series from CBS about a Delta Force unit. The show is full of propaganda, i.e. the US saves the world, the rest of the world is bad, Christianity is good etc etc. But leaving that all behind, it is a great show…think of it as a cross between The A Team and 24…now that must be good.
Go and watch.
As the polls suggest the political landscape is constantly changing. As a result I personally think we are getting some really fascinating viewpoints on what is currently going on. Here are just a few I’d like to highlight…
1. Iain Dale’s Diary - Why I Tire of Portillo’s Bitterness. This has a really intriguing debate attached, I’m stuck in two minds
2. Guardian Comment is Free – Will Gordon let her speak? Polly Toynbee on a potential new direction for GB and the Labour Party
3. Times Online – A huge strategic blunder? Daniel Finkelstein on the fact that we can’t read too much into the poles and that Brown has failed to do the right thing regarding Europe
I spent much of the weekend watching Glastonbury on the TV, well done the beeb for such great coverage. Stephen Pollard has had an interesting viewpoint on the event, apparently it is a celebration of all that is wrong. Personally I don’t like to read too much into these things, I just think it is a great celebration of music. And I can join in the celebrations all from the comfort of my living room. Apart from the obvious highlights I now have the following on my playlist:
The View
Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly
Mumm-Ra
Gogol Bordello
Jack Penate
Any other suggestions are welcome.
