ITV1’s latest Saturday night endeavour, Rock Around the Block has been axed. Anyone else have a sense of déjà vu?

Backstroke of the West, aka Revenge of the Sith translated into Chinese and back again. (Via.)

The law introduced to stop Brian Haw protesting outside Parliament will affect everyone except him, the High Court has ruled.

The legislation requires potential protesters to seek permission before starting a protest within a defined area around Westminster, but Haw’s protest has already started. The law comes into force on Monday 1 August, so presumably anyone else launching a protest now would also be exempt.

Something to do this weekend perhaps…
