@pete_biggs Why question wording matters - and why the licence fee should cost 40p a day, not £145.50 a year. http://bit.ly/uZ1SQ6

@pete_biggs Gordon Brown writes for @Reuters on how Europe can stave off a crisis http://reut.rs/oncQ15

“Stone Roses frontman Ian Brown gave a Daily Mail journalist a hard time at the press conference about the band’s relaunch. Brown turned the tables on him, asking: “Let me ask you a question. What’s if feel like to write for a newspaper that used to support Adolf Hitler?” The Daily Mail hack persisted with his question but Brown ignored him and asked if he had ever voted Tory. The journalist denied he had, which led Brown to retort: “No one ever votes Tory, do they?” Brown clearly does not wanna be adored by the Mail.”

I want a Kindle Fire! And if you think that at £130 it isn’t an iPad competitor, you don’t understand Apple’s business model.
