En mass we should all head down tomorrow to go and vote for the party that will lead us to salvation! Who you going to vote for? what will help you decide? maybe a video…
In no particular order, here are their videos. Nothing like a bit of a spiel to help you make up your mind. Oh one last word on the videos, if I can’t find the parties video on the Internet, it will be replaced with something similar. Feel free to add links to the comments if I’m …

In the run up to the 2010 UK elections I thought I’d run a series of posts highlighting the major issues that the UK currently faces. First up and probably not for the last time, debt! If you are not alarmed by our national debt, then you should be (I also invite you to have a quick look at your bank balance to make sure it’s ok) it is up to you to pay it back.
£899 billion owed, so only £14,000 for every man women and child in the …

It’s 2010 and recently I’ve been thinking more about what seems like a shift in foreign policy and global politics. I love conspiracy theories, from aliens to JFK, the Beatles to 911.

I have decided to be on train watch, more specifically as seasoned commuter I will observe to see if seat availability increases. A very targeted regional measure I admit, but nonetheless it …

an always slightly disappointing affair in my eyes. I think it boils down to a bunch of random films coming on the TV and the realisation that even though Christmas is the most commericalised celebration of the year, even once it is done and over with then month unadulterated spending occurs. The sales are an extension of the strategy of money making, I’ll be the first to admit that at some point in the next week I’ll be out there spending a stupid amount on clothes I pretend I need, …
