Anti-Tesco Protestors
Fed up with this now - they're at it again. This time protesting against a Tesco application in Hanham.Do you think they would protest if it was a development application from Sainsburys or Waitrose?Would they fuck. The hypocrisy is staggering.Essentially, the people protesting against Tesco are the handwringing chattering classes who find Tesco opening stores at odds with their anti-globalist agenda, but won't admit it. It has nothing to do with "saving the shops on the local high street", or "increased congestion and pollut

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Or for those of us who speak a relevant language, Who watches the watchers?A second member of the MPs' standards body is defending his expenses claims after reports he "flipped" two homes.Labour's Andrew Dismore, who represents a north London seat about 10 miles from Parliament, claimed £34,000 on a second home in west London between 2001-2003.The Daily Telegraph said he then made second home claims on his Hendon flat, amounting to £31,000 from 2003-2009.What a fucking surprise.

I can't help thinking if they'd carried on the earlier tweets about Strategy and Leadership for a while they would have reeled quite a few people in on that one!

A seriously misguided gift
At a rather misguided hippyish online shop called the Good Gift Shop. It revolves around the principle that instead of buying someone a present like a nice bottle of wine, you buy them the "gift" of giving money to some shoeless Indian street kid.All very noble, although the gift-giving is a bit imbalanced, with the person giving the gift left with a warm and fuzzy feeling, and the reciever getting....fuck all.Still, whilst there are very worthy sounding causes like
