I didn't think I'd ever have anything positive to say about Virgin (on the ridiculous) Media, but I have to confess that I am pleasantly surprised by my new broadband connection.
I was about 14 when a Miss Roberts, the Geog. said to Tim Griffiths and to me in 3rd form Geog: "So young, and yet so cynical". I wish I could remember what this was about. I was going to write something about how terrible it would be if the government bailed out Northern Wreck and subsidized one of Beardy's projects to the point of obscene profits, but I really can't be bothered. It's clear to me that the rich and the powerful don't care a damn about the ordinary citizens of this country as long as large amounts of ordinary citizens money is channelled their way, either through direct tax-funded subsidy (such as Virgin Trains) or via the denial of basic economic freedoms allows rent seeking to proliferate in all areas of life, but especially in financial services.
