David Cameron, stop lying.

"A year for change" is what the banners behind David Cameron exclaimed as he made his very tired sounding New Year's speech today. That's a lie in a nutshell, to be completely honest with you.

Everything the Conservatives propose only echo the nightmare of the Eighties. The Tories may have switched logos and leaders but every piece of rubbish that's spills out of David Cameron's gutter for a mouth sounds like something brewed up at Eton only designed to favour the privileged. ITV2's recent show 'Trinity', which portrayed the gallivants of the Dandelion Club, reminds me so much of the opposition front bench. These are people who have grown up without having to worry about financial or education problems. These are people who have had it on a plate. Not like the majority of the country who are experiencing, in some cases, the most hellish financial circumstances.

To the electorate, please don't let these jumped up, arrogant, rich Etonians into power...

Welcome to 2010

'2K10' has arrived, or that's what all the chavs are going to call it now...There is quite a lot to look forward to. And also quite a lot not to look forward to. Personally, there is still a metric ton of coursework to do by Monday, an exam to revise for, To Kill A Mockingbird to read and a mock exam results day and that's just in January!!

Elsewhere, it's election year!! Woo! I know we are all confident of a Labour landslide :\

I think it may time for a hung parliament. I don't feel any party will have a good enough majority to form a Government. Labour will probably lose poor old Gordon...As a member, I would like to see David Miliband or Jon Cruddas as our next leader and I desperately hope the Conservatives are subject to the most almighty demise between now and May similar to the one seen at the end of John Major's tenure as Prime Minister.

Of course, there are other things that are going to happen. Formula One is back with Team Britain v Team Germany, England are second favourites to win the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and it's look as though 2010 will be a yaer of recovery from a difficult recession. The year 2000 was supposed to be a new start for the world, it was quickly followed by 9/11 and the war on terror. Terrorism isn't going to stop in this next decade but let's make a better start to this one than we did the to the last.

Happy New Year to All

Belated Christmas Wishes

High Pressure

Just a quick message to say their maybe a a lapse in posts over the next few weeks as I attempt to balance Mock exams revision, Xmas shopping and coursework....it's gonna be a bumpy ride!

Ash :D

It's time to act

Well, the last time I was sat at the computer typing out another blog post, there was heavy rain battering the street outside, one week on, it's still here! Joy! I shouldnt complain, most of Cumbria is under some kind of puddle. Of course, Cockermouth has seen the worst of it. It again raises the point of flood defences and also with the Copenhagen Summit on Climate Change in 16 days aswell, I don't believe there will be any better time than now to act.

Sign Ed Miliband's pledge for a deal at Copenhagen here.

I really hope a deal can be done to replace the Kyoto Agreemnet, but without full support from the USA and China, I'm not so sure. However, I do admire the work Ed Miliband has been doing in the lead up to the summit. A few weeks ago, Senior Tory backbencher, Douglas Carswell MP declared that those who believe that climate change is happening are part of a "lunatic consensus". It is because of those kind of politicians, that British politics is in the state it is in. Carswell is still living in the dark ages of Conservative policies from the Eighties and with a majority of just 920 votes, it wouldnt hurt me to see him leave Parliament next year. Especially, when he has never actually voted on ANY laws to stop climate change.

Let's wait and see what happens with regards to both Climate Change and Douglas Carswell, hopefully the outcomes will both be positive.

The Worst Storm of the Year

Overnight, last night, the UK was battered and bruised by what was officially the worst storm of the year. With flooding, gales and gusts still widespread across Southern England it could be set to carry on and at this pace it may even look like the scenes of the summer two yaers ago could be back with a vengeance. Then, of course, you can mix that in with the Swine Flu epidemic worsening once more and it does look like it's going to be a cosy Christmas for Britain....not

On the brighter side however, the FTSE closed UP on around 5,000 points yesterday and the signs of recovery in Europe should allow us to declare ourselves out of recession early next year. By that time, we will probably ahve our newly formed Briberia or Iberish Airways as a part of the merger deal (In fact, the names are staying seperate). i am jsut worried that good old BA won't lose their truly British identity, we've already sold the BAA airports to the Spanish let alone our flagship airline aswell...

Hope you like my blog's new look, it's a bit more alien like...

My new syndromic views

As you may have noticved I have,as promised, renamed my Blog. The Syndrome, as I'm suer you'll agree is a lot better. And, it allows me to use the word 'syndromic' alot more! It effectively means 'diseased', on second thoughts, perhaps I won't use it that much...

....so has the 'fightback' promised at the Labour Party Conference begun? Well, with the excellent by-election results from Glasgow North East, I think it has. It was going to be a safe seat anyway, but Labour's candidate Willie Bain still won it by quite some majority with 59.9% of the vote, a majority of 8,111.

Also, the Daily Mirror have today published a Labour advert that shows the gruesome twosome of David Cameron and George Osborne sporting hairstyles similar to those of the X Factor twins, John and Edward. But the tagline warns: "You won't be laughing if they win." I think that's genius, certainly a sign of positive fightback.

It will be interesting to see the next polls when they are published....
