Good Films
I just made the following comment in City Hippy's article about good films: I think The Take and The Revolution Will Not Be Televised are the best and most important films I've seen in a while. Both HIGHLY recommended. I also saw We... Unauthorised Arundhati Roy Documentary a few days ago. Great stuff.

Recipe for a New World Order?
Whilst up in Bedford visiting the farm, I discussed plans for my book with Shane. He thought that Recipes for a New World Order would be a good title; we could reclaim the phrase New World Order (like how I tried to claim Bush's so-called Global Democratic Revolution). I chatted to Saul Albert about it, but he didn't like it, saying that he wouldn't even pick up a book with such a title. Maybe I should just write a load of stuff and self-publish it under a load of different titles to reach … [Read more...]
