		<description><![CDATA[Last night I sat, pulsating with irritation, watching a little multicoloured ball swirl around on a screen as my computer struggled to perform the simplest of tasks. Life is too short to sit here waiting for a mindless piece of machinery open and close some programmes, I thought. It turned out that the poor thing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is appropriate that Orff&#39;s&#160;O Fortuna from Carmina Burana&#160;should be used as an X-Factor theme tune.&#160; O Fortune, variable as the moon always dost thou wax and wane. Detestable life, first dost thou mistreat us, and then, whimsically, thou heedest our desire. As the sun melts the ice, so dost thou dissolve both poverty and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week I have been staying at&#160;Pluscarden Abbey, near Elgin in the Scottish Highlands. It was my first retreat and the first time that I had been so far north since childhood, when we boarded the sleeper train to Inverness for a family holiday. Clutching my precious train tickets and my Railcard, my journey up [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The return of Rev. to BBC2 is very timely, after Occupy London&#160;appropriated the steps of St. Paul&#39;s. Both situations illuminate the uncomfortably straddling position that the Church occupies; being in the world without being of it; raising their eyes heavenward whilst keeping both feet on the ground and striving to meet the needs of both [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#39;Remember, remember the fifth of November, gunpowder, treason and plot. I see no reason why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.&#39; For over 400 years we have annually burnt Guy Fawkes&#160;in effigy on the anniversary of his failed plot to blow up The Palace of Westminster. He has his own legendary place in history, but [...]]]></description>

The SNP gained a majority.&#160;Ratko Mladic was arrested.&#160;The Lib Dems took a hammering.&#160;South Sudan was created.&#160;The Queen&#160;visited the Irish Republic.&#160;Famine was declared in Somalia.&#160;News of the World ceased publication and Rupert Murdoch faced the music.&#160;Norway suffered terrorist attacks.&#160;St. Paul&#39;s celebrated 300 years.&#160;The Arab Spring continued in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Question Time was in Norwich a few weeks ago and was discussing the root cause of the increasing sexualisation of children. In this clip, Peter Hitchens puts the blame on the 1960&#39;s, the decade when Britain either became more socially open, or permissive depending on your point of view. The fault lies in our &#39;decision [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Royal Court Theatre, 23rd June 2011 This was my first experience of Arnold Wesker and against my expectations I enjoyed myself. The period and concerns of the play (Jewish East End Socialism between 1936 &#8211; 1956) weren&#39;t ones that had interested me much. How relevant could they be after 53 years? The U.S.S.R. may [...]]]></description>
