Neuro-economics
Ha! Finally, confirmation of my long-held prejudice that stockbrokers are a bunch of nutters.
Twa-faced Broon
Gordon Brown is a two-faced git (via nosemonkey). And this is what he said only a few days earlier. So, home-ownership only for the deserving, eh?
Labour holds Westminster and Holyrood seats despite swing
From BBC news: Labour keeps Cook’s Commons seat. A swing of 10% to the SNP is not to be sniffed at, but I guess NuLab will be taking the win as a mandate to carry on regardless. Shame that… And although the SNP issue of bringing back essential services to St John’s Hospital in Livi […]

But instead, I’m sitting on the […]
Ambition and aspiration
From BBC news: Ministers ‘back’ Brown for leader. “My vision is to build a home-owning, asset-owning democracy, a Britain of ambition and aspiration, where all and not just the few have the chance to own their own homes, buy shares and build up assets,” said Gordon Brown… Oh lawdy-lawd… “Ambition and aspiration”? Fine sentiments, Mr […]
