If I was Prime Minister of Italy I would build an 18-year old Belly Dancer Training School.
And then live in it.
:) :D

EXEMPLAR HUMANAE VITAE - SPECIMEN OF A HUMAN LIFE. I am not really a sofa. But I try to be a filosofa. This is the parent blog of my other blogs which all began here, and which in totality constitute the views of an urban peasant living in London. Including some thoughts on politics, psychology, religion, employment and education. And a little humour. I am a rationalist, a humanist and an atheist and I write from a green/socialist/libertarian perspective.

"Work Shy"
"Work Shy" -
WHO INVENTED THIS PIECE OF LANGUAGE???
LET ME SEE??? HMM..... GERMAN BLOKE ...
PENCIL MOUSTACHE...ER....ER....
It was just used IN SERIOUSNESS on EBC News - so ONLY TO BE EXPECTED THEN....er....er... :D
The things is - NOT ONLY was this piece of language probably inaugurated by the Nazis - it is ALSO - meaningless and offensive.
Some Comments on the "Big Society".
Never once has Camoron acknowledged that Thatcher said - in full seriousness - "there is no such thing as society".

Another kind of "Big Society"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_monasteries_dissolved_by_Henry_VIII_of_England
This was another kind of "Big Society" of a kind was it not?
They put us to shame frankly.
The list is by no means exhaustive, since over 800 religious houses existed before the Reformation, and virtually every town, of any size, had at least one abbey, priory, convent or friary in it.
(Often many small houses of monks, nuns, canons or friars.)........
-----------------------------------------------
Still! With so many thousands and thousands of monks and nuns the "unemployment" figures - which of course did not exist - must have been ridiculously HIGH/LOW....

AV is the wrong system. And FPTP is NOT a system.
Calling "FPTP" a "system" is an INSULT to the term "system" - that is what ANYONE NORMAL would be screaming to the English people every second of the day.
AV is the wrong system. And FPTP is NOT a system.
UNDER "FPTP" - IF you vote for someone other than the winning candidate in your seat - your vote COUNTS FOR NOTHING WHATSOEVER.
BASICALLY it is COMPARABLE to a night at the dogs. But with speeches.

Demolition
A degree has nothing whatsoever to do with getting a job or gaining anyone wealth.
This simple and obvious fact in itself DEMOLISHES everything the present government says about higher education.

Stop the destruction of the NHS.
Oppose the Coalition’s plans for mass privatisation of the NHS via the Health and Social Care Bill!
If doctors oppose the Health and Social Care Bill through their biggest organisation - the BMA - the plans become unworkable!
Thousands of soldiers finished the war in 1945 and voted for Labour to create a country worth the victory.
Dont let Camoron destroy it.
Think of Clare Rayner - and ask yourself if the country agreed to this?
The Tories ostensibly defended the principles of the NHS before election and are now destroying it.
