Just one week after the Post greeted the opening of Carboot Circus with the most ridiculous and uncritical hype they are today reporting the first closure of one of the luxury stores as the economic crisis begins to bite the retail sector. read full story / add a comment

Cabot Circus wont make our lives better, though mainstream media and politicians tell us it is a wonder to behold! Its basically more of what has brought us huge economic, social and environmental problems. Its focus is not needs or local people but high profit for a remote few. read full story / add a comment

I was going to title this article 'Bread and Cabot Circuses' but the excellent Evening Post Watch website go there first. This is a key moment in the landscape of Bristol - remember this day - not for the opening of another unimaginative shopping centre - but the moment the free press overtook the corporate press as the real purveyors of news in the city. read full story / add a comment

“Roll Up, Roll Up. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the unique and splendiferous; to the fantastic and extraordinary...the Cabot Circus Launch event! This will be a day of amazing performances, incredible music and a theatrical extravaganza” says the welcome message on the Cabot Circus home page. The Visit Bristol website reads “Having taken over three years to build and costing in excess of £500 million, Cabot Circus will provide city centre visitors with over 120 new shops, including 15 major flagship stores.”

What neither of these sites remember to mention is that around 40 of these so called “new” stores already exist in Bristol, many will simply be moving up the road leaving empty shells in Broadmead and yet more in the Galleries, as yet some of the spaces that will be created still have not been filled.

Another issue conveniently neglected is that on the day of the grand opening one third of the new units in Cabot Circus will stand empty as branches will not have moved in and contracts still have not been signed. The city is simply over saturated; we already have at least one of each high street chain.

Interesting to see an anarchist get a full page in today's Venue mag (page 9), and for once its not an Ian Bone shock-horror rant, but instead a fairly well thought out considered piece. Intriguingly, there seems to have been no editorial stitch up, no 'anarchists to rampage through Bristol' angle, although some of us may have seen such a promise as very enticing! read full story / add a comment

why we should we blame the youngsters for their bullying behaviour when we journalists behave in a way that lacks mercy.

As much as some Muslims suffer discrimination and I know that for I was and am still experiencing such acts of discrimination. Such experiences left many of my colleagues ' journalists' with one of two choices, either to show biased extreme views, or be extremely worried about hurting the feelings of people from other minorities. Both choices are wrong, because journalism is about ethics and responsibility towards the society in the first place. read full story / add a comment

Convincing a woman to drop her baby to embrace a belt of explosives is something that needs urgent academic study.
