Where have all the doom blowers gone??

This week has been majorly weird in politico land: we've heard pretty much nothing about the END OF THE WORLD (recession). Weiirrrdddd.....instead things seems to have gone rather yankish and domesticated - we care about ourselves! All this social loveliness has offered rather a distraction and coupled with the charitable theme of the week it's been a lil bit feel-good. Personally I think the sun helps just a bit too.

So shall we examine all these social niceties?

1. More of you can find out if your kids are in immediate and apparent danger. I.e. you can check up on why our legal system sometimes seems a little bit screwed! At least this society had the decency not to attack offenders. Child Safety = Good Times


2. The Experts have been staring at your bodies. They're worried. First things first a chocolate tax. Cos if it was a quid more expensive we clearly wouldn't buy it. Clearly an expert in only one subject area that dude.


3. Next up another expert wants to put a minimum price on alcohol. A minimum price on alcohol = a minimum price on fun times!!! Hells to the no on that! No worries though kids - the Government plans to oppose the idea.


4. Finally the misspending of our taxes gets more ridiculous by the day. I mean I love a good flower arrangement as much as the next girl but even so......

Finally I'm just gonna point out how freaking hilarious it is how Cherie Blair being hired to build the case against Fred Goodwin is headline news.....because, yes, she does actually do something that doesn't involve giving us T.M.I.

I love that they choose a picture that makes Sir Fred look so regretful. Still, it's better than looking like a hamster-human cross-breed programme that didn't quite reach its conclusion.
