On Easter Sunday there was a furore because Chris Grayling (MP for another 24 hours or so), said that Bed & Breakfast owners should be able to turn away gay customers. It certainly gave the Lib Dems, Labour and Peter Tatchell something to talk about whilst considering which Easter egg they’d open first. Today, the [...] Michael Gove is the shadow education secretary. He’s been having a go at Labour because it gets money from Unite, the trade union. The British Airways employees who voted to strike, are part of Unite. Would it have made any difference if they were part of a different union? Quite why, I’m not sure. It’s [...] George Osborne, the man who David Cameron put in charge of his finances, and the man who would become Chancellor if the Tories get in a position of power, has been on the BBC News Channel again. He’s berated the Prime Minister and his Darling, but that’s all he seems capable of doing. “this country [...] I’ve always been slightly suspicious of the Jobcentre, the Dole, DHSS, whatever the Government of the day wants to call it. It’s real name is the Welfare State. Essentially, it’s the welfare state. The bit which props us up when we’re down. At least that’s the job it’s supposed to do.

From an engineering perspective, the problems with the trains are totally understandable – the electric trains are running very cold in the outdoors where temperatures are below zero, and condensation forms inside the [...] I’ve been reading on the Camden Liberal Democrat’s website that they forged their partnership with the Conservatives of Camden because the voters ‘decisively rejected the Labour party’. Statments like this, which lack any source or corroborative information always make me wonder, so I checked out the election results. Labour lost 17 seats in the 2006 [...] Yesterday Gordon Brown gave the ‘speech of his life’, and today The Sun newspaper has decided that it will back the Conservative party at the next General Election, whenever that may be. Gordon Brown interviewed on BBC Breakfast The Sun’s actions, and their timing of their actions, show a bloody good reason why the [...] The Taxpayers Alliance has been in the news quite a bit over the weekend, with their 34 plans to save the country money during the recession. Of course, that’s save the country money, but most likely push up the cost of goods and services for you and I. Their plans include abolishing bus fuel duty [...] |
