Most people don’t want a hung Parliament. Yes, it would be good to give our politicians a good hard kicking, to make them start to be a bit more democratic and less totalaristic, but that novelty wouldn’t last long, and we’d be spending millions on a fresh set of elections within months. If the [...] 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. Over the years [...] Yup, Labour MP David Wright is in the brown stuff this weekend after he called the Tories “scum sucking pigs” on his twitter page. This was too strong language for the Tories though, and he’s had to apologise to them. His tweet, though, was factually correct. You can put lipstick on a scum sucking [...] Westminster Council got a bit of a battering this week. They have a plan to increase the hours that parking is chargeable within the West End, and to rais the prices for residential areas outside of the centre of London. Westminster Council needs to raise £22m, and the car parking charges would raise £7m. [...] I’ve moved homes. The fnar blog is now firmly entrenched at rollkit.com for your delight and delectation. For the new home, I’ve decided to change the emphasis a little. I have never been the type of blogger to sit all day and write banal shit about whatever pops into my mind. I’m going to [...] Sometimes I read things in the news, and it takes me a few days to actually get my head around the archaic stupidity on display. It has taken me over a week to get my head around this one. BBC News reported from an East Anglian town that a bingo caller was being told [...] Jeremy Hunt, the shadow culture secretary, has said that the BBC should recruit more conservative newsreaders. Of course, the Tories think they will win the next election purely because they deserve to. I can’t see any policies, just the Tories (and other parties), meddling with devolution, and the independence of the BBC. Ironically, Culture [...] First of all the Conservative leader David Cameron said he’d meddle with the license fee. Then Ben Bradshaw, from the Dept for Culture, Media and Sport said the BBC should be scaled back. James Murdoch, who wants to protect his father’s Sky empire, wanted to scale back the BBC website. Now Lorraine Hegessey, from [...] James Murdoch had a lot of press lately after his lecture in Edinburgh. Apparently he turned down requests to speak at previous Edinburgh Festivals, but today the time is right for him to lambast the UK. He doesn’t like the BBC, he doesn’t like Ofcom, and he doesn’t like Channel 4. Murdoch wants to [...] |
