		<description><![CDATA[  The title &#8216;Interesting Facts About Europe&#8217; is misleading, but that&#8217;s the problem with facts. One person&#8217;s truth is another&#8217;s lie. As it&#8217;s not in my nature to disappoint anyone, I kick off with 5 very Interesting Facts About Europe:
1. The World&#8217;s 14 Most Charitable Countries are in Europe. (Official Development Assistance by country as [...] ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  Profile have just published a book called ‘Complaint’ by Julian Baggini.
It is claimed that this 224-page paperback is the first to be devoted to the subject and all I can say is: It’s about bloody time! Call yourself a publishing industry, making us wait 568 years for a book we obviously need?
Idiots.
Complaining is a [...] ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  You&#8217;ve got to feel sorry for the banks and credit card companies. They sustained us through the good times, barely taking enough profit to carpet their meagre offices and keep their executives and shareholders above the corporate poverty-line. Always willing to help those less fortunate than themselves, they tried to provide mortgages for poor [...] ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  I&#8217;ve been a music promoter for most of my working life. It&#8217;s basically the same as being a theatrical impressario except, instead of plays, I organise rock &#8216;n&#8217; roll shows. The wife likes to think of it as being something like a professional gambler, but that&#8217;s just her.

		<description><![CDATA[  Never mind the old cliché that says &#8216;there&#8217;s a novel inside everyone&#8217;. It might well be true, but the tricky part is getting it out and on to paper.
After 23 years trying, I think I&#8217;ve finally discovered the secrets of writing a novel the easy way.

		<description><![CDATA[  In hindsight, it seemed inevitable that Conservative Boris Johnson would defeat Labour&#8217;s Ken Livingstone and be elected Mayor of London.
Although the Member of Parliament for Henley-on-Thames was initially perceived by some as a joke candidate, in reality Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson had everything going for him. For a start, the media was rabidly [...] ]]></description>
