Tim Blair takes delight in the beneficence of Gaia.
Andrew Landeryou on how to riot and get away with it: pick a left wing cause.
Tim Dunlop and Lauredhel give kudos to an Anglican archbishop. 11. saint: No doubt they can’t give students kudos for standover tactics against a headmaster enforcing the rules [↩].

Robert Merkel looks at the food crisis.
Audrey finds a story that is at once inspirational, sad and inspiring.
