If anyone is wondering (unlikely), I have now transferred all my post writing efforts to a different blog. The legendary Birmingham University Labour Students (BULS) online now has the pleasure/burden of me as a full Author. This comes after several years of haphazard contributing. My posts (going back through the ages, seriously, disregard any prior [...]

Job Ad BS of the week
Apologies for a certain quietness post-relaunch. Its been a busy and a sickly (bastard freshers) fortnight or so. I’ve got plenty of post ideas and comments to update over the next few days. In the mean time I’m going to start a less serious series of posts. As any casual reader would be aware, I’ve [...]

Political Compass
Just a bit of fun this. At the Birmingham University Labour Students freshers stall we had a political compass for new and old members alike to locate themselves. I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve drifted all over the shop over the past half-decade, so positioning was rather difficult. I’ve just been on the [...]

A Tax on Greed
A rather late comment on this one, given that the issue seems to have dipped out of the news once again (though I’m certain it’ll resurface. The 50-pence tax band, and the Tories less than discreet desire to be rid of it. Just to clarify – the 50-pence band applies on all annual [...]

The Criminalisation of Protest?
The news of the arrest and imprisonment without trial of Guild Vice-President (Education) Mr Ed Bauer (see here) trickled through to me rather late. I’m very much out of the University/Guild bubble these days, and so my only sources for the story are Facebook (peer-reviewed in the unorthodox manner) and Redbrick (*spits in corner* -Nash passim). [...]

Relaunch! (101st Post)
The 101 thing is sheer coincidence. Its been a fair few months hasn’t it? The blog didn’t just go dormant; it went “private”. In applying for various political and private sector jobs over the summer I figured it was probably for the best that there weren’t many google hits when employers typed in the words [...]

Birmingham Riots: a personal view
(Editor’s Note – This post was first written on the evening of the 8th August 2011- mere hours into the first riot violence in Birmingham. Later developments, including tragic loss of life, may make the sentiments expressed seem naiive. Nonetheless, for the most part I stick by them. The post was originally published over on [...]

The Day Democracy Died
Part One – the Problem Britain is no longer a democracy, it is a plutocracy. The AV referendum was stolen from us in a system where wealth equals influence. I do not believe that the 10 million plus people who voted “No” were able to make a fully informed decision, nor do I believe that [...]

Who goes there?
Been seeing a massive spike in the hit counter in the last few days; suprising given that this blog has been essentially dormant since the start of the year. If anyone could enlighten me?

11 for 2011
This time last year I published a blog post containing broadly political predicitions for the year ahead. By my own assessment i make it six and a half out of ten for accuracy. More than half were half-right, which in itself is quite interesting, especially where generally cautious projections have been superseded by the unexpected. Naturally, [...]
