Aaron is not happy with Tory MP Anthony Steen… can’t say I blame him.  Hopefully the sound-player thingy will be embedded below to play the offending/offensive interview. I still can’t believe it is not a clever piece of satire cooked up by Chris Morris or someone like that.  His argument seems to be that the […]

Work for peanuts

Apparently a group of Tory MPs are gathered in support of Christopher Chope’s 10 minute rule bill to, effectively, abolish the minimum wage. I find this absolutely breathtaking. It is wrapped up in some euphemism about ‘increasing employment opportunities’, but it boils down to allowing employers to pay as little as they can get away […]

Say That Again
September 23rd, 2008 · 8 Comments · Politics
I’m very pleased with what Gordon Brown was saying today. Colletively we are very forgetful, and do need a reminder to those of us who are in the Labour party of why we joined in the first place. One of our problems down at the grassroots is that we are very demanding so it is […]

Anyone for tennis?
July 3rd, 2008 · 5 Comments · Life
I can’t really get into tennis. I used to enjoy playing it, but I can’t derive much enjoyment from watching it. I saw the last 30 minutes of Andy Murray getting beaten in straight sets and even that was a bit dull. This was a quarter final of one of the top events in the […]

More about how the other half live
October 1st, 2007 · Comments Off on More about how the other half live · Politics
I was not going to revisit my observations on how the other half live, but then I read an article by Decca Aitkehead about George Osborne yesterday. Its a good read, but made me realise just how much I don’t know about how the other half live. How can I possibly understand the concerns of […]

Classic spam
July 24th, 2006 · Comments Off on Classic spam · Technology
Following on from the recent posts about spam, today I found something which Akismet had caught, which is definitely spam but which made me laugh for its irony. It could almost be a pointed comment on considering oneself working class while holding down a decent job on above-average wages… Your guestbook is example of middle-class […]

Class warfare – a return to traditional values
September 26th, 2005 · Comments Off on Class warfare – a return to traditional values · Politics
Back in the 1980, when I lived in a flat above a chip shop in Hither Green, I had a fantastic tea towel. From a distance it looked just like one of those ‘Home Sweet Home’ embroidery things, but when you got closer you could see that it actually said “Class Warfare” at the top, […]

Another day, another ancient church
August 30th, 2005 · Comments Off on Another day, another ancient church · Life
We spent this morning the same way Jayne spent Friday morning – waiting in for a maintenance man who never arrived. After that we headed out to Kent. Yesterday I promised Jayne a cream tea and , in my opinion, the best cream tea to be had is in Quaintways tea shop in Penshurst, Kent, […]
