In the UK there are specific limits on how much each party can spend based on how many parliament seats they contest (eg. £30,000 per seat in England). During the campaign period they have to submit weekly reports on all donations over £200. After the election each party must submit a full report on their expenditure…

That show is so good it's outrageous. I recently discovered Serena Williams has a cameo in an episode in Season 3, which just makes everything more awesome.

I haven't seen any of it yet but I'm quite eager to since discovering it's produced by the same woman behind The Powerpuff Girls, which is still easily one of the funniest, wittiest cartoon shows of early 2000s.

The one positive I take from all of it is the reaction to this book of anyone below the age 25 being "Meh, I've read better smutfics." It's the little things that keeps hope alive.

This is a real Cinderella story.

"Check out ma six-pack, whoooaaaaaaaaoooaaa" is exactly how far I got before scrambling for the eject chord.

I love that look his eye that lets you know just how f***ing delicious this is.

Just as long as nobody tries to feed anything baby-like with them.

Here's the thing - I often get the weird impression some are pushing these kinds of news stories to distract us from the really big ones. Everyone gets angry about Jimmy Carr not paying tax on his tens of millions (and fair enough), but I can't think of one instance of the same level of public shaming over the many…

As a UK citizen I'm still more infuriated by Amazon and Vodafone not paying any tax here then I am about whatever the Queen might be costing us. When her salary is the biggest thing around we'll either be doing really very well or really super badly as a nation.

I rather feel the F1 Jordan-Mugen-Honda 198 in all it's waspy glory deserves a mention. A win and a brace of podiums that year just about earns the right to wear it too. Imagine this buzzing at you on a summer picnic.

Definitly agree, rape can be used in a character fiction but you really shouldn't unless you really know what you're getting into. In this case it's rather painfully obvious that they've gone straight to this idea just because she's a female character. Call me when the same thing threatens to happen to Nathan Drake.

I just want to take the opportunity to say that an individual's concern for the size of their pores is one of the most baffling things I continue to come across in this modern life. I have never noticed the size of somebody else's pores, nor have I ever heard anyone mention on the size of anyone else's pores, but the…

As a British republican I'll be keeping out of the festivities, but will not be above making full use of the never-ending river of Union Jack-themed sweets, cakes & booze all being sold at the lowest prices anyone thinks they can get away with. I may be republican but I'm still human.

No, you can't seriously complain that choice of photograph, showing her at her moment of triumph - with medal, with her national flag, very shortly after her hard-fought victory in the pool - isn't flattering. You'd rather Jezebel only illustrate athletes in specific repose, mouth tight shut, preferably not in any way…

QoS was a bit of a mess but I still think Daniel is the best Bond since Connery - I loved Pierce but his sleek shtick had had it's day. The current Bond really emphasises the intelligent brutality of the character really well, so glad we're getting another round.

Promoted for use of Avatar.

I really just want a straight new Starfox game, but, if this is true, I do feel Retro have earned a pass on my skepticism until I see the final product.

One day, I fully intend to open a restaurant named "Wackanoodelery" - it'll be like Chuck E Cheese except with a range of ramen dishes instead of horrible pizza. Which presumably will soon be an "ethnic food", if some are to be believed.

So... their master election plan is to attach Obama to a stereotype that suggests style & charisma while simultaneously comparing him to one of the greatest political leaders in history?
