I’m voting Liberal Democrat in the General Election
If you want your voice heard in British politics I recommend you vote Lib Dem too!Why? I strongly believe that the First-Past-The-Post system is unfair, outdated and unrepresentative of the current state of public opinion in Great Britain. I don’t believe the power struggles between the same 2 parties allows them to be capable of hearing your (or my) voice. Only reform to a more proportional system which better represents the wide range of opinions in the country will enable Government to do…See More

UK General Election latest – The Guardian endorse the Liberal Democrats
The Guardian has finally decided to throw its weight behind the Liberal Democrats with their full endorsement. About time! But while it is very welcome in my opinion – is it too late and too close to polling day to really make a difference?read more at miscellani.org/blog/See More
Dr Suzanne Conboy-Hill commented on the blog post 'Save 6 Music, Save The BBC'
"It's been suggested that this is a gesture giving the illusion of compliance with government edicts from which the Beeb can retreat in the face of 'a massive public outcry'. So let's get outcrying, I say!"

Kathryn Cann commented on the blog post 'Save 6 Music, Save The BBC'
"I agree with that Dr Suzanne but the BBC should make it available on FM. (nationally) They have invested so much money on DAB radio and 6 music is the only really unique station on it, so to scrap it now when they could have made it available on old…"
Dr Suzanne Conboy-Hill commented on the blog post 'Save 6 Music, Save The BBC'
"Only found 6 Music because of the hoohah. Are we surprised at its low audience numbers? Should we be? Well no as most of the UK can't get it on their radios yet, including a very large proportion of the south east, much of the north east and a…"

Introduction to British Politics
The Year 2010 will be a General Election year in the United Kingdom.
As each Government can serve a maximum term of 5 years, the election must be held on or before Thursday 3 June 2010, with the most likely date thought to be May 6th (because local elections are already set for the same date). The incumbent Government can call the election at any time prior to the close of this current session of Parliament and although some speculators have hinted at a “snap election” as early as March, that seems very unlikely to favour the ruling Labour Party and so a long Spring campaign is ahead for all candidates.

Save 6 Music, Save The BBC

And so it came to pass, on the feast of St David, early in the 11th year of the 3rd Millennium that the eclectic musical settlement known as 'Awesome 6 Music' reached nationhood, just as the General ordered the attack on her defences.

Obama Sells Out The Sioux
Posted on December 30, 2009 at 4:22am 0 Comments 0 Likes
America's own Real Estate Shyster-in-Chief, Barack Obama, is selling out *two* nations with a new Sioux Indian land grab by the IRS. His hypocritical Christmas gift is a deal for a wind energy cartel but steals taxpayers' money and a tribe's future.
