unnecessarily disturbing

You come in to work after a nice long bank holiday weekend, and you find some one in the gents toilets at work brushing his teeth. Some how wrong, wrong, wrong.

oh, by the way

...looking back at my earlier posts at the fall of the house of Blair (which I stand by, even if it's months & counting) and the re-rising of the tory party I feel the need to slightly retract. The excitement linked to Cameron's relaunching has pretty much faded or at least transformed into a dull fear.

I know a number of conservative MPs, new & old, who's thoughtfulness, understanding and work ethic deeply impresses me, no matter what I think of their opinions. The more I see of the shadow cabinet the more I start to think of them as a bunch of arrogant, snide & shallow powergrabbers who care more about point scoring than policies. The hypocrisy is rather sickening but the lack of understanding is worse.

I like this

Care of nosemonkey:

Why is it that in modern Britain the consensus seems to be that to prove
your opponents wrong about you, you have to go and do precisely what your opponents accuse you of? Say the government are cutting down on civil liberties, they deny it before cutting down on civil liberties; depict
muslims as violent in some cartoons, they deny they are violent before
issuing death threats; accuse the Tories of having no real policy alternatives, they deny it before issuing a pamphlet with no real policy alternatives; say the Home Office is useless, they deny it before sacking the Home Secretary and announcing the Home Office is
useless.

Never come back from holiday

It's just not worth it.

What do you get greeted with? Penny-ante nonsense. Emails clogged up with 'decolonising the revolutionary imagination' and a 'rich synthesis of complementary studies'. And a Conservative commitment to:

• encouraging greater corporate accountability by offering a lighter regulatory regime to companies who make a commitment to responsible business practice [from the latest version of "built to last"]

AAArgh!
