Alone on the Island
Is David Cameron’s self-imposed exile from Europe savvy or suicide?
By Alex Massie | December 12, 2011
“Fog in Channel; Continent Cut Off” is one of the most famous headlines in British newspaper history.

Unconfirmed religious order says the phallic foods may spark sexy thoughts
By Roque Planas – December 11, 2011
An alleged fatwa banning women from touching bananas and cucumbers is making the rounds through Muslim listservs.
The religious directive forbids women from handling bananas or cucumbers, because their phallic shape may “make them think of sex,” according to The Times of India.
