Selling out in the best way possible: ebuzzing...

Mon 4th Feb 2008

So I've seen the campaigns around the place already, several bloggers that I read occasionally as well as some I don't talking about this ebuzzing thing. It's only just started up so in all honesty this is uncharted territory, but with a specifically European solution with a guaranteed £10 per article you write in conjunction with ebuzzing I'm willing to give it a try.

The "ban it" virus is spreading!

Mon 4th Feb 2008

Footballers legs on the pitch It started with patio-heaters and air conditioning units, it has resulted in ex-Shell boss saying that inefficient cars should be banned, but it is interesting that in between these two wishes stands another Lib Dem gem, contravening just about all employment law you can on the subject and banning so many "foreigners" from coming in to our football teams.

Bristol/Bath cycle path to become a bus lane

Mon 4th Feb 2008

Cyclist This unbelievable story broke over a week ago now, but I decided to hold off on it because perhaps staggering this kind of thing will alert more people that care about cycle paths about what is going on. In short the local council, the illustriously moronic Bristol City Council, have decided that not only do they need to create a "rapid transport" scheme to replace the trams that they voted against considering in 2004. This has obviously annoyed no small number of people since the plan is to turn a stretch of the Bath to Bristol rail path in to a bus route.

Latest Politalks:

So what the hell is going on, Labour are slumping in the polls and yet those most naturally in their shadow able to take their place (the Lib Dems) are failing to capitalise in the polls. And even though the Tories are enjoying high times so much they must think it's the 80's all over again (in more ways than one) they have failed to deliver one serious or credible attack against the government that would show them to be the true heir's to the throne. So to speak. Anyway, on with this weeks Politalks. NSFW as usual, transcript can be found if you go through to read more!
