Here we are again. Harold Shipman has hung himself in prison, which reminds me of something a friend said recently: Shipman is described as Britain's worst ever serial killer. Surely someone who killed 200 people must be Britain's best by anyone's standards. Or was he missing the point?

Meanwhile, I came across mediacarta today and thoroughly recommend taking a look.
Here's a taster:

"Here’s how it plays out. You can use sex to sell beer. You can use psychological tricks to sell junk food to kids. You can use hype to sell cars. You can use lies to sell war. What you cannot do, however, is turn the tables and speak out against the companies that are doing the selling. In a totalitarian system, you aren’t allowed to talk back to the government; in the capitalist system, you can’t talk back to the sponsor."

Get over there and sign the manifesto, then read the history of freedom of speech. That's my advice.
