Contradiction between Nick Clegg's words and actions

2008-03-14T13:32:27Z

I really liked Nick Cleggs conference speech last week, unfortunately it doesn't match his actions when it comes to things like drugs, prostitution or even reform of parliament. Last I heard he was still backing the speaker of the house and some ...

Just the person to review MP expenses.. not

2008-02-25T20:45:44Z

Well thanks Nick Clegg for not sticking with the status quo, and really rocking the boat with your bold leadership on reforming parliament. I think it's great you're supporting somebody who claimed tens of thousands of quid for his wifes shopping...

Sunday Trading laws, simply idiotic

2007-12-24T12:20:09Z

It was fun shopping in Truro City Centre yesterday - most of the small shops were shut all day, and the larger shops opened their doors at 10am but nobody could purchase anything until 10:30am - utterly bizarre, not only that but because of the sh...

NHS Choose and Book website still doesn't work

2007-12-20T17:35:52Z

Telephone regulation - ofcom et al are useless

2007-12-17T17:08:08Z

Oh telecoms regulators how I hate thee! We're ex-directory and registered with TPS. You would think that would mean we avoid the worst abuse of the telephone system, but it doesn't - I regularly get scam and cold calls from dodgy companies who sh...

Still undecided about Clegg vs Huhne..

2007-11-22T14:49:05Z

..but I am firmly decided that I'm fed up with the cheerleaders and campaigners. Both candidates have a lot of common and party policies, so it's only on the personality smaller/detailed issues that you can really tell them apart, and this is whe...

Airports and "security"

2007-11-15T10:54:04Z

Domestic flights in the UK used to be convenient, fairly priced and fast. Now they're hugely inconvenient, almost to the point that driving would be quicker and less hassle. Obviously if we had a reasonable Train service from Cornwall to London th...

Empowerment and benefits reform

2007-11-09T10:25:59Z

All the parties are talking about 'Empowerment and choice', shame none seem to walk the walk when it comes to actually reforming the benefits systems. As it stands the benefit systems only benefits two sets of people, neither of whom are supposed...

Things that shouldn't be privatised #231 of 652 : Search & Rescue

2007-10-26T08:58:54Z

The MOD is planning to use PFI to privatise some areas of Search & Rescue, apparently because our current Sea Kings are getting a bit old. Hmm... isn't this the same MOD that's blown 4 Billion on two new Giant Aircraft Carriers, but failed to buy ...
