    Finsbury Park Mosque: Man dies as van hits pedestrians

    This is the BBC headline this morning. A man has died and eight people have been injured after a van ploughed into pedestrians near a north London mosque. Far too early to confirm a reason but hate crime looks a possibility. We are living in a very sad world at the moment. RIP to the deceased...

    FA Cup 4th Substitute

    The FA Cup are going to allow a fourth substitute from the quarter finals onwards: BBC Apparently that will add "intrigue and interest". Give it a rest. It'll allow teams to change one extra player should they need to, which I don't have a problem with. But add "intrigue and interest"? What...

    Pyramid schemes and high pressure direct sales.

    Anyone got any stories. I have just got back from a visit to someone's house under the guise of a social event hosted by the parents of my young nephew. I thought something was odd when I spotted some leaflets for cookware on the coffee table and sure enough a 'friend' arrived to cook some...

    Welfare state

    Is it 'well fair?' Would a welfare loan, perhaps similar to student loans (repayable if future earnings above a certain point) be more appropriate? Just a thought, and not a well developed one at the moment...

  9. why i believe that an untargeted slashing of the welfare budget is a false economy.

    I'm going to argue the unpopular. I'm going to argue that the current plans to reform the welfare budget should be scrapped because the problems they cause will cost more to resolve than they will save. I'm not going to argue for no reform. I hate the current system and agree with much of the...

  10. Cameron, Clegg and Osborne

    I cannot think of a single reason (other than the fact that they are not Gordon Brown) that would motivate anyone to vote for a party in which any of these three hold sway. I voted Liberal in the last election and I feel like an absolute mug. If this utter circus continues on I fear that I...
