Things that are great today.

"Under your leadership the Conservative Party appears to me to have ceased collectively to believe in anything, or to stand for anything" 

Tory MP Quentin Davies has defected to Labour, i would be smug..... hell im smug, not really because its a one more labour mp ( but that is great) but mainly because the reason he has given is the very reason i dislike David Cameron, because he stands for nothing , to use his words the problem with the conservative party is "It has no bedrock. It exists on shifting sands. A sense of mission has been replaced by a PR agenda." Some of your may be thinking well its just proves the Labour has become right wing,  i think i proves that the labour party is the only party left with any soul left. i can seem to blog at the moment without sounding like a party political boardcast, is this because i am i actaully belive this or have i been brianwashed by the party.  

The Son of a preacher man!

NOTE: EDIT THIS ITS FUCKING AWFUL

Just a short post about the man who will on Thursday become the Prime minister of this

 country. Gordon Brown has been an integral part of the labour government the last ten years, part of all the success's  and all the failures. The best way to judge a politistion is on there record,  not on what they say or how they act, the poeple we elected are the to do a job and that job is to serve the population. To my eyes his record is the best of any modern politision, the amazing record of the longest sustainable period of economic growth in british history since records have been kept ( which is a while to say the least), people will look at that sentance and fail to realize its significance.  With him at  the head the UK economy has gone from the laughing stock of europe to one of the best dynamic economics in the world. How has he done this, i hear you cry, is he the best chancellor ever or was he lucky to inherit a growing economy and favorable conditions. Well , ill give you a quick run down of my opinon, Firstly the discision to give the bank of england inderpendence, i wont bother going into the in's and out's of why this was great, ( i only got a b in my economics a level) but put simply he took the power away from politisions who are genralist's and put it into the hands of experts who know what there doing. This disscision aswell as others made means britain has the philospher's stone of non-infationary growth.  No 15% interest rates , no boom and bust just steady growth for the entire time. Also this growth coupled the investment in public sector has lead to the lowest unempolyment rates for a long time (early 70's).  Yes the economy has was in a decent state when he inherited it but it was realtivly unstable, and yes the tax system is no more complex, but so are our lives. Thats all well and good the papers will cry but what is he like as a person..... i couldnt give a fuck if im honset. because its not about how nice someone is or what the hair is like , its about how good they are at there job, and so far hes been pretty darn good.

Just a lyrical lie.

An old man gave me a tip he said
"Don't waste your time with politics" he said
"Just chase skirts instead"
"Life is too short, and you're almost dead" he said

So Parents away for a week, house all to myself and time to think. Sitting listening to some music its quiet and i can do what i want, and up until the this point i have been throwing myself into Plato's "republic" which very high brow of me, and i understand very little of it, but i hope it gives me another take on politics. Working in the cafe tomorrow, i worked 6 days  and today has been my only day off which i spent the majority of traveling, but i cant complain because the job is easy and i need to earn money if i want to be in uni. Finding it increasingly hard to swicth of form life's troubles, i could attempt to meditate or turn all the lights low and stick some candles out in an attempt to calm down, but i think that probably wont do any good, so i will just sit here with my beer and enjoy some good music.

Anyway Content..... its all about the content. Brown has become the new leader of the labour party, and Harriet Harman has become the new deputy leader, she didn't get my vote, well she didnt get either one of my votes, they both went to hilary benn. she seemed a bit to much of a cope out for my liking but i suppose the proof is in the pudding. Brown will take over as leader on wednesday  and i am currently writing a bit about him for that day, along with the fake news blog, and the web comic. coming soon to a screen near you.

You're moving but not aware
You're drowsy without a care
Except keeping your whites behind your lids
And your lids are your best canvas
I can only imagine what you're painting, what you're painting
And your body on my mattress is proof
And your makeup on my pillow is proof
But do you think I am telling you the truth
