Interesting times

If I mentioned there was a British publication that has recently published articles such as John Pilger on Afghanistan, Richard Seymour reviewing Chris Harman's A People's History of the World, another Marxist Giles Ji Ungpakorn on the contradictions of Buddhism and Owen Hatherley on culture, as well as occasional quite humourous contributions from Ian Birchall you might think I was referring to Socialist Review or something. But no, all this is in the liberal New Statesman. Is their long love in with Gordon Brown finally coming to an end or something?
