		<description><![CDATA[Revisiting Jimmy Reid’s 1972 rectorial address, one cannot help but feel a fond sense of nostalgia for the politics of an entirely different era. In the words of Archie Hind, these were men with “the fire which came from a moral belief in a political idea as expansive, generous and as hot as the head [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Scenes of anarchy across the English capital which quickly spread to engulf other parts of the nation. An act of aggression by the police was to prove the spark that ignited a tinderbox which fireballed rapidly out of control into a four night spree of violence, looting and arson as mobs of feral youths ran [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Channel 4’s hapless attempt to appropriate street art and be ‘down with the kids’ is wrong on so many levels, it is hard to know where to begin. From the rigged London competition, endorsed but in the end curiously not judged, by none other than the self-styled ‘Big Poppa Ser’, to the cringe-worthy video clips [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[1. Disclaimer. Before beginning, it should be noted that whilst the title of this short collection of notes might at first sight seem an exercise in bigotry and generalisation, it should become clear to the reader that this is not the case. This is not a polemic against England or its people but an attempt [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Where to begin? The previous century saw the word modern accumulate all sorts of etymological baggage and it would seem imprudent, to say the least, to embark upon a discussion of modern-mindedness without first acknowledging this fact in one way or another. However, in the interests of avoiding yet another tedious discussion on the topic [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When a slightly inebriated Oliver Payne tells us in a recent interview that his love for vandalism knows no bounds, he is revealing to us one side of a polemic which has grown to dominate and divide graffiti in recent years. For sure, the division has always been there: one between the bombers and the [...]]]></description>

There are few fields in the world today in which it could claim to be a global player and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most kids know how to ignite sparks but they’re not too good at stoking the flames. In a digital world in which fads come and go and trends change like the Scottish weather, in a society which seems to resist any kind of fixity, stoking flames is a hard task indeed.
