From the written word to televisions, new means of communication always spark panic about the corruption of our youth. But none have furrowed as many brows as the Internet, with its pornography, data-sharing, cyber-bulling and so on. Some neuroscientists even think it could be re-wiring [...]

Let me start by saying “good riddance…”.
The BBC has the rest.

I wonder if CagePrisoners knew, yesterday, that Awlaki was dead.
Yesterday, Asim Qureshi – an outspoken supporter of jihad against British soldiers – posted a long elegy contemplating the life of  CagePrisoners’ Sheikh.

The Guardian have published a letter from Gilad Atzmon, promoting a lying and superficially sanitised version of his antisemitic thesis.
Atzmon, cunning as ever, has got one over on the Guardian. Check out this quote:
To paraphrase what I say in my book, “An antisemite used to be someone who hates Jews; nowadays an antisemite is someone [...]

Former Guardian journalist Jonathan Cook has published a piece about Gilad Atzmon for the website Global Research, complaining about the “cult” of the Guardian. He writes:
I have no idea whether Atzmon has expressed anti-semitic views – and I am none the wiser after reading Newman’s piece.
Atzmon has written that the credit crunch was a Jewish [...]
