Apologies for the lack of witty title but I really couldn’t think of one at this point in time. I want to just make a few comments about some of the draconian government initiatives which sometimes are tantamount of fascism. I’ll start with a particularly annoying advert for drinking and driving. First of all let me just say I do not in any way condone drinking and driving, I think it’s a stupid and dangerous thing to do and I think the law should be firm on it. However what I don’t agree with in this case is the way that government adverts try to imply you will be socially outcasted and ruined financially if you do it. What’s a stronger message than saying you will die? That’s the point they should probably put across to people rather than implying that you will get caught and be marked for life. The content of this advert is as follows: The TV ad focuses on Matt, a young man out for a couple of quick drinks with some friends, as he's deciding whether or not to have a second pint
We live in interesting times to quote a very dully repeated cliche. The problem with interesting times is old assumptions go out the window. The British voter is not a monolith.

Let’s be clear. We’re a long way away from the Boris bounce and the ‘stonking’ majority election victory of 2019. The party now finds itself pulled between its past and present with no one looking to the future seemingly. The past being i
A slight adaptation on the Keane song there but I feel it rings some truth for todays serving. Change has certainly been in the air of late and not always for the better. The first such issue is the NEW CAR OF THE JANI'S!!! News of a new car normally bring happiness and Joy to all. Sadly in this case I'm left dumbfounded at the poor choice of my Dad who simply chose it for himself and didn't even make a democratic decision by consulting me and my brother. The Car in question is a Saab 95 Convertable. Now for some this would be a dream come true but I disagree. Problem 1. Its a convertable: This is an odd thing to prod with critism but for me it spells a self induced nightmare. I'm very conscious of when I'm being listened too and I think nothing spells a lack of privacy than driving around with no roof! It doesn't help also if you're Dad has a bizarre and sometimes rather embarrassing taste in music which he likes to play very loudly. Not only that but its m
