Apple's "brave" price rise 6:27pm on 03 Mar 2009 This is the wackiest reasoning I've ever read. Apple is CRAZY to slap an extra £100 or more on the price of all their models. But you seem to think it's a brilliant move. We must be living on two different planets. Are you one of those people who think Apple can absolutely do no wrong?
Pushing string 3:27pm on 05 Feb 2009 The basic mistake being made by all the banks, monetary authorities, and governments, internationally - and which is making matters worse, not better, every time they try a new fix - is their unquestioned assumption that at some point "things will get back to normal" i.e, rampant house price inflation, wild lending and borrowing, consumer madness, and the same people running things as before.

Things will NOT be "getting back to normal" and there will simply not be an "upturn". What's needed is a comprehensive restructuring of the entire economic system. But the people who can do this are not going to be the people the media keep asking "what's wrong".

Everything needs to change, including the people you're talking to.
Treaty mired in Irish bog 4:25pm on 17 Jun 2008 The Lisbon Treaty is not "mired in an Irish bog". It is dead.

The only problem is the arrogance of a political elite who think they have the right to move the goalposts and go ahead anyway.

THAT is essentially what we Irish voted against.
NHS at 60 - A picture of health 5:45pm on 07 Jun 2008 It is a myth that private healthcare is better than the NHS. Where on earth did people get that idea? Can they justify it? A friend of mine DIED in a private clinic because the level of service was so poor. A banal mistake by an anaesthetist killed him. But hey, he had a private room with TV and flowers.
NHS at 60 - A picture of health 11:38pm on 05 Jun 2008 What matters to me is KEEP OUR NHS PUBLIC in the face of a determined patchwork privatisation process, already far advanced, that is being pushed through by this government, whilst pretending that it "isn't privatisation" or whilst saying "people don't care who provides the service as long as it's good". Already, GP practices dotted all over the country are being forced into the hands of private healthcare companies such as American-owned United Health. And this is all being done by stealth so that people don't notice. What matters to me is to STOP this.
