COMMENT

Binoy Kampmark: Second Endings - Terminating Neighbours (Again)

Fremantle’s hunt for the cash for continued production will have to start in earnest, but short of returning to a British backer, the prospects look decidedly final for a show that has lasted well beyond its time.

Peter Dunne: Dunne's Weekly - It's Now Lowest Common Denominator Politics Instead Of Informed Political Debate

The demise of political debate as it used to be, in favour of the fervent, dogmatic statement of party opinion as incontrovertible fact as we have now, has dramatically changed the nature of political discourse around the world.

Ramzy Baroud: Gaza Has Changed The Discourse On Popular Resistance, But Are We Truly Listening?

The viewer is treated to dazzling marked draughtsmanship that also evinces a mastery of techniques: the use of drypoint and etching, lithographs, linocuts and aquatints.

Gordon Campbell: Gordon Campbell On Why “golden Visas” Are A Losing Bet On Growth

For obvious reasons, people feel uneasy when the right to be a citizen or resident is sold off to wealthy foreigners.
