Quacking Plums?: February 2015

http://quacking-plums.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

Future historians ask themselves one question: "what the hell was this idiot talking about? Monday, 23 February 2015. The State of Greed. The arrogance of politicians goes on. Is this ever going to change? Both sides of the house are at it if Channel 4 are to be believed and the camera, as they say, never lies. When even the minister responsible can't be arsed to attend something is deeply wrong. Monday, 9 February 2015. Well so fucking what? Oh but won't someone please think of the profit line? Profit i...

Quacking Plums?: June 2015

http://quacking-plums.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html

Future historians ask themselves one question: "what the hell was this idiot talking about? Monday, 29 June 2015. This morning, on my way to the butchers, I took the long way as it's a nice day. It is a curious and unsettling fact to know that I live in a society where, as intense and uncomfortable my experience was, to others it is nothing, because that society is conditioned not to take me at my word. In other, and sadder news, the passing of a legend. The masterful and creative and intelligent god...

Quacking Plums?: It's Corbyn Time

http://quacking-plums.blogspot.com/2015/06/its-corbyn-time.html

Future historians ask themselves one question: "what the hell was this idiot talking about? Thursday, 18 June 2015. Curiously the Tories seem to have a Twitter campaign going to support him. You might think this is because they think he's a risible old socialist who's values will clearly further doom us all. Further? There's nothing socialist about labour, but in this right wing ideological shitmire anything to the left of the Tory position, even by the merest hair's breadth, is seen as screaming loony l...

Quacking Plums?: November 2014

http://quacking-plums.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Future historians ask themselves one question: "what the hell was this idiot talking about? Sunday, 9 November 2014. Today is that time of the year again. The time of remembrance. What does that mean for most of us? I can't remember the second world war; I can barely remember the seventies: the decade in which I was born. So how do I remember the sacrifice of people I don't and will never know? Otherwise how can we truly get past the attitudes that lead to nations colliding? When people turn up on the TV...

Quacking Plums?: April 2015

http://quacking-plums.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

Future historians ask themselves one question: "what the hell was this idiot talking about? Friday, 17 April 2015. Have we really allowed ourselves to be robbed of the ability to govern our own destiny and determine how we live? You'd presumably have to offer more money? Who knows because the one thing these capitalists are sure of is that they really don't like loosening the purse strings. Maybe there just aren't that many people available. We don't know, but is it reasonable to jump to the conclusi...

Quacking Plums?: December 2014

http://quacking-plums.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

Future historians ask themselves one question: "what the hell was this idiot talking about? Tuesday, 16 December 2014. It seems cancer with a 3 month life expectancy is no barrier to the scumbags at the DWP. Dying is to be regarded as no real inconvenience to the determined jobseeker, thanks to these idiots. Welcome to Britain 2014. Monday, 15 December 2014. Even Nature Can't Escape Cuts. The cuts seem never ending with the perennial promise of more, just in case we step out of line. Well in my opinion t...

Quacking Plums?: January 2015

http://quacking-plums.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

Future historians ask themselves one question: "what the hell was this idiot talking about? Saturday, 31 January 2015. The other day I rang the Autism Spectrum Service (the people that tested me) to make a complaint. I don't think the testing process was up to the job. Asking me to look through kids picture books or play with toys from a Christmas cracker or watch dodgy videos of people having a dinner party cannot be a proper test surely (it's something called ADOS apparently). There is an online test.

Quacking Plums?: Will Get Fooled Again?

http://quacking-plums.blogspot.com/2015/08/will-get-fooled-again.html

Future historians ask themselves one question: "what the hell was this idiot talking about? Tuesday, 18 August 2015. Will Get Fooled Again? Of the government's viciously circular war on welfare. Another "intensive" work scheme, this time primarily aimed at the young - because after all they broke the economy didn't they! Wasn't the post WP service meant to be intensive? Wasn't every aspect of signing on meant to be intensive? Wasn't workfare meant to be intensive? This is just intended to play to the gal...

Quacking Plums?: After the March

http://quacking-plums.blogspot.com/2015/06/after-march.html

Future historians ask themselves one question: "what the hell was this idiot talking about? Monday, 22 June 2015. I'll be honest it all seems pretty hopeless. A government comprising some of the most ideologically challenged market obsessed and incoherent lunatics I've ever known has gotten elected. They claim they have a mandate to kick us all in the teeth because we've asked them to - despite a quarter of the electorate actually voting for them. How is that right? But people just tolerate all this.
