I’m not dead, merely insanely busy putting a magazine together all on my lonesome during the day and working on a new project for the BBC in the evenings. All of which is very exciting and fun and everything, but means I’ve barely got five minutes spare for anything else.

And, of course, there’s the whole “politics is incredibly boring and repetitive” thing going on again at the moment. For comments on recent news, see:

• February 2005 (for North Korean nukes)
• November 2005 (on the EU’s Reach chemicals legislation)
• June 2005 and November 2004 (on the latest “what ID cards will cost” announcement)
• September 2004 (on the Labour party conference)

It’s all the same, you see… Nothing changes. Ho hum. Back properly at some point soon nonetheless.
