"The eighth and final day of the best-dressed tour saw the team hit the streets of the Toon. Known for its impressive art gallery and a penchant for swooping architecture, (not forgetting girls able to take on a blizzard in a bra and a belt) Newcastle surprised with its breadth of individual looks.

From a bow-tie sporting art lecturer to a menswear buyer who championed the deconstructed look, there was plenty for the team to work with – a relief, considering our fleeting timescale. Thanks to a glut of independent men’s boutiques – including Cruise and End Hunting Co – selling innovative garments from a range of designers, Newcastle University’s infamous pink shirt brigade gained no ground."

Mugabe and the White African


This is one of the best films I've seen for a while. I've always been anti-Mugabe (who isn't?) but this will push anyone over the edge.

You can watch the whole docufilm here.

"If it's the last thing I do, I'm going to destroy every fucking grammar school in England. And Wales and Northern Ireland"
- Tony Crosland




I take these steps from Westminster tube station everyday so this cartoon made me chuckle. It's obviously in relation to the cuts making MPs and Ministers take public transport when possible, and the Queen's opening of parliament on Tuesday morning.

It's not often I get excited about buses, particularly as I live right next door to a bloody bus garage, but I love the look of the new Routemaster bus that should be on London's roads in 2012 (that means 2014)...especially as they're bringing back the old hop-on/off deck at the back. You can watch a video about here.
