I can’t say I’m impressed by the government’s plans to save £12billion: if I understand Sky News correctly, they simply have to stop spending. If it’s that simple, why has it taken so long to do? I’m really not convinced by the argument; after all, when I cut up my credit cards last week, did that mean [...]

I Have Saved Myself £12billion
December 7, 2009Time For Some Politicking
October 5, 2009As today sees the start of the Conservative Party* Conference, I thought I would do my bit:

Baffled of Stockport
September 22, 2009I am appalled by the news that the government – the socialist, Labour, for-the-people government – is considering putting up student fees to £5000 a year.
