Blog Restart: Failure

Wonderful, so I actually get around to restarting this blog and all I can think about is a gravely stupid mistake which I have only just done – probably not the best idea considering I am attaching the web address above with my CV. Either way it is important for the world out there to be reminded.

DOUBLE CHECK WHO YOU ARE SENDING YOUR EMAIL TO…

Ultimately my failure consisted of sending an email of a individual’s contact details to the individual themselves and not to the person who was meant to contact them. Considerations of privacy, possible broken trust and above all (though least important) embarrassment rushed through my head as soon as the two word reply… ‘Who’s James?’ came back.

Now people remember that coffee and lack of sleep is not conducive to career advancement – no matter how many times you have postponed that Outlook reminder!

Fun times all round!

N.B. I know that was lazy. But was a email sent to a colleague who wanted to know a little more about the Budget.... [read: Said that Labor + Budget was actually a good thing and made me (YES MADE ME!) go on a crusade to convert him to the cynical right]

Iain Dale's Diary: Violent Crime Up 22%

Iain Dale's Diary: Violent Crime Up 22%

I honestly dont understand this...

How has this country suddenly gone to pot?

I simply cannot believe that Violent crime and the levels of unemployment we are suddenly seeing are totally on account of the recent crisis.

This was going on before. We have been lied to by the government in terms of unemployment levels and crime levels and who knows what else and this is a good time to let the truth come out with the people blameing everything subconsciously on the economy.

WhatwhatWHAT!

It seems to me that Gordon Brown may have single handedly screwed over a whole nation... And thats not even the UK! (link is not specific, you should look at the post 'What?WHAT?!?!?!?')

And the worst part is that there seems to be very interesting suspicion that it may be to cover up dodgy dealings within government, money laundering and increased wages for policicians.

Now I understand that we need to take thise high and dramatic accusations against our government... But honestly. IF you dont want people thinking something is crazilly wrong don't use anti-terror laws on relitivly (at least with regards to the crisis as a whole) minor problems which could be solves in a whole range of other ways.

This fills me with worry.

Nick Clegg thinks a coalition government is the only way for the Lib Dems

There seems to be some ground to the thinking that after the next election there will be a coalition between the Torys and the Lib Dems... That being said it may simply be a gambit made by Nick Clegg as the only way in which his party will get anything near national government.

The evidence.

Firstly, the party aproves tax cuts for the manifesto.

Secondly, as Paul Waugh points out, the mood of the LD's as well as Clegg seems to be based around de-throneing Labour. Coupling this with their base expansionist ideals a coalition seems benificial.

So. There you have it... Im sure there is more, but I am at work and probably shouldnt even be blogging at all.

Short on time, short on blogging.

Things at the moment are difficult.

That is to say, I, having a degree but no real experience and skills that are easily bullet-pointed for the use of a CV, am taking all available time with the scruff of the neck and forcing it within that time-sink of a task that is called 'Job Hunting'.

So now, along side this is my thankless, 11+ hour a day job at Alton Towers and you have a recipe for despair.

In other words. PLEASE SOMEONE GIVE ME A JOB!

...Then I can start blogging again and the world will be righted.

After all has said and done though, everyone else has been submitting their goodness with much abandon. So please find below some links to enjoyable articles.

 

International Relations isn't Millband's forte apparently, says John Redwood MP. I tend to agree.

And...

The Devil's Kitchen makes use of an interesting post about class divide and how it effects the expectations of children to take a jab at old grizzled fanny herself, Polly Toynbee. Much more interesting and coherent than I just made it sound!

The State of Labour

Here is a 'light' frisking' of an article by Yvette Cooper by Ian Dale. Cooper's comments basically seem to be an attack on David Cameron and his policies especially with relation to the economy. It is all standard fare, Ian Dales frisk is pretty much what you would expect, what is more interesting is the initial article. And though I am sure that Ian saw this he never mentioned it.

The prime minister and chancellor have said we must do more to help families and businesses, building on the financial stability measures and £4bn tax cuts this year, and we will.
But who is asking questions about the Conservatives? Their leader hopes to distract us with frisbees and photo ops. But a serious look at his policies reveals an approach that would be deeply damaging for our economy. Over the next few months, we in the Labour party must expose the risks and contradictions at the heart of Cameronomics.

We will do this, their policies are this. Is it me or is the language betraying a party who already see themselves loosing the next election and already as a government in waiting?

If so, then who is running the UK? ...The SNP for the largest governed part is my answer. Ahem.
