Arsenal lost...so I'm in a bad mood, right?

Sausage baguette

BLISS' sausage baguette, with brown sauce, was the highlight of the afternoon. Good sausages and good bread. Daddies sauce, too. Nice.

Just some numbers...

...to think about, before falling into the cliché trap and labelling footballers' pay 'obscene' (they have a short career, and like it or not, they don't receive huge sums because of who they know or who they were at school with, but because they're among the best in the world at what they do, something millions do every week at their own expense).

£45,000,000,000.00. That's how much the taxpayer handed over to bail out RBS.

£4,000,000.00 per year. That's the pay deal a banker at the bailed-out bank was disappointed with and was complaining about.

£17,000,000.00 is what Jeremy Hunt is about to sell his company for.

£32,925.00 is the boarding fees at Charterhouse, where Jeremy went before becoming an accident and rhyming slang prone culture secretary, on the back of which performance he was promoted to the NHS job and he is about to have A&E departments go belly-up on his watch.

£25,000,000.00 is what Cameron's going to trouser through inheritance.

7% of kids go to fee-paying schools.

34% of MPs went to fee-paying schools.

54% of tory MPs went to fee-paying schools.

Just asking...

...how come:

The bloke seconded from ESB International is designing the government's gas subsidy. ESB International builds gas-burning power stations.

G4S will be running more immigration centres, after killing a few people and being nailed for fraud at high management levels.

The list goes on and on. Who's fighting this on our behalf? Not any of the three major parties why decry calls against voting. Not the BBC which is more and more open to lobbying and taking on business arguments. The Greens, maybe, are there any remaining Monster Raving Loonies about to get behind? The environment minister is all for running around blasting at badgers with his blunderbuss and does not understand any reservations whatsoever about GM crops (those crops that actually require more pesticides and nutrients (bad for the (literal) consumers in terms of health and wallet, good for the chemical industries that make the fertiliser, bug killing agent orange sprays and, er, GM crops. Don't vote, it only encourages them.
