Vote Franco: Absence Without Leave
http://votefranco.blogspot.com/2008/06/absence-without-leave.html
Tuesday, June 10, 2008. It's been quite some time since I've posted, and I would like to justify it with all the worthwhile things that have been taking up my time. If I did that though it be saying the end justifies the means, but I've never been one to believe that. I may be approaching a time when regular blogging may resume, so hopefully I'll be back soon.

Vote Franco: "It's for the children!"
http://votefranco.blogspot.com/2007/02/its-for-children.html
Wednesday, February 14, 2007. It's for the children! The Times brings us a story. About unhappy UK children. They are the unhappiest in the Western World, according to the headline. A quick reading of the story reveals that it's based on a so called "well-being table". From my poor reading of the story, it seems that this has been compiled under the guidance, funding and direction of UNICEF. The full title of the report shows the study is limited to rich countries, which is all well and good especially a...

Vote Franco: Halal For All
http://votefranco.blogspot.com/2008/06/halal-for-all.html
Saturday, June 14, 2008. I should add that this was not actually pointed out at any stage in the proceedings, but I heard a rumour prior to attending and I noticed there was only one meat option. Most of those attending were probably totally unaware that the main meat course was halal. This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 License.

Vote Franco: York Council Workers Strike Ballot
http://votefranco.blogspot.com/2008/06/york-council-workers-strike-ballot.html
Wednesday, June 11, 2008. York Council Workers Strike Ballot. The local "newspaper" provides a story here. It is quite sad to see the quotes in the article, take the one from Andrew Waller identified as the Council leader:. We have always had good relations with Unison in the city. We would want to maintain key services during any dispute as our concerns are with any vulnerable residents.". Good relations with Unison". I'm sorry, but if we can lay off staff without cutting front line services doesn't thi...

Vote Franco: Doctors starting to get it?
http://votefranco.blogspot.com/2007/02/doctors-starting-to-get-it.html
Monday, February 19, 2007. Doctors starting to get it? The Times gives us a report. About disillusioned doctors. It certainly shows us the cracks appearing in our socialist health system, and perhaps at last, people such as doctors are starting to realise that taxation and socialism can't solve problems. The opinions expressed read as a damning summation of the effectiveness of ZaNuLabour's health "policy":. Like we have the highest standards now? Well of course in theory it shouldn't matter as the incre...

Vote Franco: We've got the smokers. Next the drinkers!
http://votefranco.blogspot.com/2008/06/weve-got-smokers-next-drinkers.html
Tuesday, June 10, 2008. We've got the smokers. Next the drinkers! Whilst I have been trying to avoid the BBC as much as possible, thanks to the unique way in which it is funded, its presence is far too insidious to allow even me (without a television) total abstinence. I think I have the right to drink a moderate amount in my own home". The proper response is this:. What a sad state of affairs. This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 License.

Vote Franco: NHS moves to India
http://votefranco.blogspot.com/2007/02/nhs-moves-to-india.html
Friday, February 09, 2007. NHS moves to India. On the latest set of jobs to go to India, a batch of accountancy ones from the NHS. Of course it couldn't be used for everything, but think how much more beneficial it would be for many routine procedures. Anyway even without the NHS involvement, increased numbers of UK citizens are privately taking this option, but of course they still have to pay for the NHS as well. Notice the phrasing, why doesn't he express it in tax terms? Not Yours To Give. The Bakewe...

Vote Franco: The rulers and the ruled
http://votefranco.blogspot.com/2007/02/rulers-and-ruled.html
Tuesday, February 13, 2007. The rulers and the ruled. Some of my fellow bloggers have been urging their readers to sign the "online petition" at the Downing Street web site. I haven't bothered drawing this to the attention of anyone, because I have no faith in the government. If the government supports a proposal and people sign an online petition in it's favour, the government will claim public support. Weasel words from apparatchik and Transport Secretary Douglas Alexander (DA). There's a good quote sh...

Vote Franco: Cameron drugs row
http://votefranco.blogspot.com/2007/02/cameron-drugs-row.html
Monday, February 12, 2007. It's no great secret that I'm perhaps not quite in full accord with the Conservative party and the policies of David Cameron. In order to lead the way, I'll put my hand up to this and: "yes occasionally in the past I've taken some drugs". I wouldn't advocate or encourage anyone else to do so, it was something that I did at that time. I have no excuses, but I didn't harm anyone (and I doubt any great harm was done to me). Let's see the media put me on the front page.

Now Even Our News Has To Be Pretty? What A Difference A Decade Makes →. June 1, 2007 · 8:06 pm. Mediocrity For The Masses. Am I the only person who feels this is an unerringly accurate portrayal of where our society is headed? THERE’S NOWT AS QUEER AS FOLK. Today we find out that all the work we’ve done from the beginning of the year to now has pretty much gone to taxes. This is one of those bits of information that I could really have done without hearing. A couple of days ago I came across an article s...
