Summary
An eclectic mix of men’s health, politics, literary theory, and superheroes this week.
There is an unfortunate faecal air but fear not it is all in aid of cancer awareness, cinematic description or simply doing the Times’ dirty work.
Giles ponders what kind of resignation letter he’d write, and Esther writes an ode to David Cameron.
Finally, the superhero is dead, long live the superhero…say hello to ‘The columnist!’
