The organisation is pragmatic and apolitical …which I think is probably a good thing.

Open letter to Mr Clegg MP

So you have apologised for making a promise but not for breaking a promise over Tuition Fees.  And, in your Conference Speech you told us how the Liberal Democrats stood for social justice.  Well Mr Clegg, please explain how putting generations of young people into huge debt is social justice?

The increased indebtedness of our young people will ensure that there is no significant improvement in our Economy by 2015.  In addition, falling graduate numbers will ensure that the average net gain to the Treasury of £227,000* per graduate will not accrue.  A double whammy!  

As such after 40 years of voting Liberal or Liberal Democrat I cannot vote for your party again when you undermine all our future so fundamentally.

Beware the Law of Unintended Consequences!

Update on 7 January 2013

So, as reported on BBC Radio 4 there was a 10% fall in University applications in 2011 and a further 6% fall in University applications in 2012.  Maybe Mr. Clegg should explain to us all how reducing future Treasury income is a good thing?

People do not want to be in debt.  Don't they get it?

Musical genres invented for the iDiot

Whoever invented musical genres is an idiot or should that be that genres were invented for iDiot [commonly known as iTunes]?  I can't stand genres. They are so limiting.  All this tribalism is just bullshit.  Some people love metal to the exclusion of everything else.  How narrow minded is that?  Open your ears and let some different sounds stimulate those synapses!

No wonder the World is in such a mess.

It's all music!

Bloody pirates!

Pussy Riot

Are Putin and the Russian Orthodox Church so insecure that they have to imprison three little girls who criticise them?  Their actions clearly demonstrate that they have already lost the argument.  However, I was pleased that the Russian Orthodox Church had the balls to petition for leniency. 

It makes me sick when a State persecutes its citizens like this.  It is just pure brutal evil.

Nonversation

Bobcat Goldthwait (film director) used the word 'nonversation' to describe the world of texting, Twitter and Facebook.  What a highly descriptive word!

Cash in hand

So cash in hand is robbing the Nation, Mr Gauke?  I cannot believe just how ignorant that statement is.  Has he never heard of the expression "legal tender"?  Thank goodness we have not gone to a cashless monetary system and we can still pay for goods and services legally in cash.

Mr Gauke should have a look around and be looking into the Tax affairs of the Banks and big Corporations rather than making stupid statements which are contrary to the Law.

It is really very worrying in a time if crisis when a Government demonstrates that it does not see the big picture.
