Posted in Capital Punishment on February 28, 2008 | No Comments »
I’m not talking about the idea that those people who fear jail are the ones most likely to abide by the rules and laws of society, I’m talking about the concept of natural justice how we view it and how it is always those people who seem to have the ingrained sense of it who [...]
Our Beloved Meritocracy
Posted in Employment, Minimum Wage, Service Industry, rant, tagged Meritocracy on February 28, 2008 | 1 Comment »
In the desperate search for the best, the optimus prime of every profession and occupation; to not be up to scratch is simply unacceptable. No one likes a loser and no one likes a failure so it simply stands to reason that every job must seek out the best of the best (of the best) [...]
I’ve really had more than enough

For those who don’t know what is happening in the incredibly exciting world of Scott, and what an exciting world it is, I have been working as a part time waiter in the local curry house adding to my multicultural CV and attempting without success to learn Bangoli.
It keeps me occupied on Friday and Saturday [...]
The Shock Doctrine

Nassan Hazrallah the militant leader of Hezbollah (you would have thought it would be unnecessary to describe a Hezbollah leader as ‘militant’ really) has warned Israel that his group are ready for “open war” with Israel after the killing of one of it’s leaders in Syria. Imad Mughniyeh was killed in a car bombing in [...]

The college magazine is printing it off as a one off special and then putting it on the intranet as a learning aid, which just goes to show how exciting things are here in South Downs. For the benefit of anyone who actually cares to read it I have reproduced the entire article below.

An excellent series and well worth getting hold of if you can.
Well apparently it is Valentine’s day, is it? I didn’t notice, I was so busy with things I just plain forgot to go out, find myself a suitable partner and then wait for an advertiser to tell me when to inform her that I [...]
