The bunting is prepped, the flags unfurled, but it has to be asked: in these increasingly impoverished times, do we really have reason to celebrate? With ruthless austerity cuts and London sitting eerily under the shadow of a police state Olympics, there are many who'd rather...

This week the University of Sheffield announced results of experiments which promulgate Darwin's 'survival of the fittest' theory. Scientists claim we humans continue to be subject to the forces and whims of natural selection like other species.

"We have shown advances have not challenged the fact that our...

I pity Samantha Brick. No, not because the poor love can't strike up a fag for the want of thousands of Zippo-clutching men leaping to her aid, nor because of all the cruel jealous bitches out there hating on her 'beauty'. I pity her because she's been stitched up a...

Hey girls! Been double-crossed by a lowdown, dirty, cheatin' man? Wipe away those tears honey and sign-up to Uncle Sam. The Military Industrial Complex Needs YOU!

With all the subtlety of The Simpsons', 'Yvan Eht Nioj (Join The Navy)' Katy Perry's new video for her single

How do you solve a problem like Joe Kony? There's nothing like an evil bogeyman dictator to rouse those emotions.

One would have to have a heart of stone to not be moved by the plight of poor Jacob, the young Ugandan who stars in Kony 2012, the...

I enjoy the odd bit of sport. My personal achievement highlights include: coming twelfth in the UK at springboard diving, appearing on Blue Peter as part of my school's skipping team and winning the year six sports day sack race. Let it be said - I won't be bothering the...

LFW has never operated in the...

When a recent Canadian study claiming left-wingers to be brainier than their righty counterparts made the Daily Mail headlines, much sniggering ensued about - hoho - the irony of the publisher's political persuasion.

According to the Brock University academics, conservative politics serves as a kind of 'gateway'...

It's hard to believe it's been eight years since Janet Jackson's 'Nipplegate' and the Superbowl has been seriously lacking a good scandal until now.

Yes we all love a spot of moral outrage and thanks to naughty M.I.A's, ahem, 'finger malfunction' during Grand High Priestess Madge's Egyptian-Greco-Roman

Even whilst heading up Chanel, Fendi and being an all-round style polymath, Karl Lagerfeld thankfully still manages to find time to burp out some preposterous, inflammatory musings from time-to-time. His inability to self-edit is what makes him such a charmingly nefarious fashion patriarch.

Anyway, we're long overdue an outburst...

Whether an exercise in separating the wheat from the chavs following last year's drunken brawling or simply an attempt to up the collective style ante, Royal Ascot's decision to tighten the thumb-screws on an already pretty strict Royal Enclosure dress code has been met with a mixture of...

An endangered vessel can never remain rudderless for too long and it's been almost 12 months since the helmless ship Christian Dior parted with its (aspirational-pirate) captain John Galliano. As the A/W 12'/13' shows draw closer and the couture shows get underway, replacement talks are swirling once again with fashion...
