HA wow. girls to wear dresses. Whoops.

Seriously, Ann Coulter is less sympathetic to me than a woman who kidnapped her own daughter, drugged her, and then helped her husband ensure the death of God by seducing God's deputy.

My old school used to have a uniform which allowed girls to wear trousers but not boys, so one boy showed up with a dress on to protest this sexist injustice (he wasn't an idiot, he actually made really good points about how femininity is undervalued, which was astounding considering he was fifteen). The school…

Ann Coulter is like a less relatable version of Mrs Coulter from His Dark Materials. And Mrs Coulter is a BITCH.

Fucked up is selling your friend's story to the tabloids. I totally get it, especially considering how rabid the UK tabloid industry is; there are far fewer laws protecting celebrities over here, it's a shark tank.

Wait, "raped too much"? I'm pretty sure there's no Goldilocks complex on rape.

It was because she found out stories were being leaked, so she did it for a while to see which stories worked their way through to the tabloids.

Good point, well made.

This has been a bumper day for British news. Stripper primary schools and ponytail equations, you're welcome World.

Please, parents! I think it's in the interest of Britain's diplomacy abroad to present ourselves as charmingly eccentric yet secretly hypersexual marijuana smoking townhouse-dwellers. You're doing it wrong.

I hope you guys are happy. This means the UK market is going to be clogged to death with Adele mimics over the next four years. If you avoided the Top 40, the last couple of years were pretty good....=/

There sure as hell isn't one for America's Next Top Best Friend.

I think most Brits agree with you (on the militarisation). The majority of people I talk to about the Falklands here are war-weary enough as it is without stupid post-colonial wars over old colonies being dragged to the fore. Not to mention how it's basically being used as a penis enhancement by David Cameron (and not…

Yeah! Fuck the inhabitants!

Europeans are only racist this year. Haven't you gotten the memo?

Doug, you are on a major Harry Potter reference jag today.

David Frei, pictured, went on to say that he was planning to lobby for the banning of Christmas, in fine parliamentary tradition.

Look, I'm not denying that it's had positive outcomes and that it inspires youth. But that inspiration is shallow, and I really wish the same thing had been done with different inflection. I don't think it's invalid to question movements we have issues with, even if we agree whole-heartedly with their basic impetus.

But why wasn't that the main plank of the initial movement? Youth groups who work with LGBT teens (and I know partially because I've been on the receiving end of such help) are all about empowerment; the It Gets Better campaign encourages LGBT teens to be passive about their rights, and worse seems to imply that they…
