Schemes to improve soceity, not the economy (but they do as a sideline except 3) 1. Nice and Easy, Legalize and Strictly Regulate Cannabis. Cannabis is worth at present £23 billion. Nice little sum there. Well given taxation and investment I'm sure we can hit £30 billlion. With all this cash I'd invest some in expanding the space program. Beagle 3,4,5,6 might as well. But most would go to the Education system. University grants are gonna come back with a vengance, backed up by a graduate T...
I read in a blog the some one doesn't like paying tax for welfare. Well thats fair enough; people should work and contribute to soceity. No arguments there. But supporting a system that creates, maintains, and encourages inequalities means that there will always be unemployment. Ever since the Neo-Liberals took over on the sly, full employment has never been a socio-economic goal. Nationalised industries, however innefficient, provided secure jobs. I'd rather that the unemployed were part a nati...
To most Americans, the USA is the land of the free and the brave, head of the Free world and all round ace place. To most Americans socialism is a dirty almost blasphemous word, a hideous vision of uniform greys, browns and 10 mile queues for bread and turnips(and thats for the lucky ones). Well I've had enough of being marginalised by a bunch of fachist inbreed red-neck fucks. Far to much. The list of injustices visited upon the world by the USA grows longer each day, the lies of the Washingt...
Unfortunately me xbox is broken, apparently the result of canine urinatory activity. A most untimely mishap, especially over the festive season; indeed a gift I received, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, is useless to my great disgust. This has led me back to't PC games, namely Half-Life and Alpha Centauri. The juxtaposion of a lack of Halo fixes and my subconscious reapprassal of these games and this article. Is Halo the Master Chief or is Half-Life the Mack Daddio? Graphics Given the dispar...
The Return of the King is without a shadow of a doubt an 'event' and not just a film. Orcs and Sourcery shouldn't really be this much of media darling: everybody on tv was gushing forth the praise like a smoker exhaling with joy that first drag in the morning(thats better mmm menthol!). the film itself is a resounding success amazing battle scenes, good characters and sexy elves! or perhaps not... As a cinemtatic translation of perhaps the greatest book of all time (apart from the bible and th...
jus bitches and hoes doesn't really relate to me. council estates and slappers would be better. instead of chronic it should be a 20 bag and 10 lambert. we don't have guns or lowriders, maybe a maxed up nova and a cricket bat. perhaps then i'd be a g. pints then a curry, or somebody on strike, that there could be violent. drive-by mofo. where's the understatement, i'm english. speaking in a anecdotal style, speaking the cockney rhyme just in time. not comedy violence, that grey urban e...
It dawned on me the other nite after visting a club in Liverpool called Blue Angel the homogeneity of British mainstream cultural life (in terms of going out as a student/young person). About 75% of the Girls had Jeans, Black Strappy Tops, and Long, Straight Shoulder Length Hair. The porportion of Boys had Jeans, T-Shirts and Spikey-ish hair (gareth gates/ david beckham style). Everybody got drunk, struggled to talk over the booming dance/pop/cheese (delete as appropriate) and danced badly. Its ...
Today has been another day of listless boredom; the dull grey skies over Bolton, the smell and sound of a deacying northern town, the crushing compliance of consumerism. Unemployment is this day's mission, and a neferious task it is to ask the dread question: 'is there any work here?' and hear the inevitable reply of 'NO sorry luv,' Inevitably the answer always is no, this year, last year, despite christmas, despite the colourfull shop windows, despite the throngs of Boltonians doing their Yu...
