		<title>Abandoned Novella: RIP</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is a fragment of the novella. A bit of background information, it was an experiment in longer fiction which failed. I was so invested in the concept of discipline that I didn&#8217;t realise it had failed until I had poured an immense amount of time into it. But I have no regrets. It was [...]]]></description>

		<title>What I heard at spoken word</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8216;I don&#8217;t read the news much, or not recent news anyway. But I did see a piece about a man from Birmingham who raped his child like 1000 times in three years.&#8217; A pause. Which is like, what, three times a week.
I just thought, that&#8217;s wrong innit? Its disgusting. Because home is supposed to be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Youssef Chahine&#8217;s film Bab El Hadid (Cario Station): An Egyptian classic that makes for uneasy viewing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The thing that impacts you most about Chahine&#8217;s Bab el Hadid (Cairo Station) is not the stark and passionate cinematography, nor is it the brutality at the heart of the film and its main character, disabled newspaper seller Qinawi, played by Chahine.
What is really disturbing is how Chahine winds Qinawi&#8217;s violent lust into everyday sexuality.
Qinawi [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why I loved Nic Green&#8217;s Trilogy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is not a review, just thoughts provoked by a show which for me was full of joy. I&#8217;m talking about Nic Greene&#8217;s Trilogy which I caught at the Barbican through the genorosity of a friend, Andi, who appeared in the program.
First of all, I was impressed by the levity of the show. I guess [...]]]></description>

		<title>Accused of trafficking drugs? Innocent? Don&#8217;t panic, it&#8217;ll be okay.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Its an excuse trotted out again and again by those accused of drug trafficking at airports.
&#8216;Its not mine,&#8217; or &#8216;Somebody must have planted it there&#8217;.
I&#8217;d always assumed that it was a fabrication, a final and implausible plea for freedom by those facing years, decades even, in a dank, overcrowded prison thousands of miles from home.
Now, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Preparations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A quick update on what I&#8217;m doing. So, yes, I spend a couple of hours each afternoon pouring over the G2 (where I will be doing work experience next month), taking notes about content and style and even attempting to execute my own articles according to their style.
I spend the rest of my time reading [...]]]></description>

		<title>Away for a bit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As you may know, I have been pursuing an internship at a small number of media outlets in the United Kingdom. And, my ambitions have been realised. I am intensely excited that I will be an intern at The Guardian for a week this December.
Yes!
I will be with the marvelous G2 section.
So, for the time [...]]]></description>

		<title>In defence of attacks on Jan Moir</title>
		<description><![CDATA[FleetStreetBlues is an irreplaceable resource for freelance/unemployed journalists and writers in the UK.
Which is why I found its defence of Jan Moir&#8217;s Stephen Gately column bizarre.
In her piece, Moir revels in her completely unconcealed disgust at sex between two or more men.
FSB suggests that, in fact, such an interpretation of the piece might be confined to [...]]]></description>
