I got this message on Facebook a while back:
Larry Cavelle 21 December at 23:29
do you run www.wetheundereducated.com?
What’s happening? We’ve certainly never posted a petition from a Larry Cavelle. We posted one by Angela Cavelle once, could it be about that? Best get to the bottom of this.
Anyway, the conversation is long and ongoing, and therefore hidden behind the fold. (more…)

You’ve got to hand it to Mr. Guidera – he just doesn’t give up, even when he says he’s giving up. Shortly after posting our most recent conversation with him he decidedly get back in touch with me, once again threatening to bring down the fury of God’s own thunder. Which is unsettling.
Once more unto the breach, eh? (more…)

Today, the Labour Party launched their “fresh ideas” website, through which users may submit ideas.
Yay fun!
Actually, so far it’s been disappointingly sane, but as non-party-members get wind of it I’m sure it’ll liven up. Well, a bit sure. Ish.
That to be eligible to stand for office you will need to achive or be working towards a qualification in public service. There could be higher qualifications to be a junior or senior minister in the particular department they seek to serve. Justification would be that Civil Servants who implement and administer policy need to meet personal specifiations, so should those who make the decisions.
Higher Education should be free. It’s the duty of the older generation to pass on the knowledge to their young without conditions. It has been that way for 200,000 years. Every other successful species on this planet seems to have grasped this concept. It is greedy,selfish and shortsighted for our generation to make the kids pay for something that was gifted to us.
Is this a good idea?
Put forward some new ideas to stimulate the economy, specially to get more employment.Ordinary people don’t know how to do this and nor do the Con/Libs
Labour should have the courage to admit that it’s impossible to “put power in people’s hands”. There are 44m voters, there’s no way all their views can be heard. An MP can’t even truly find out the views of his constituents, there are too many of them.All mechanisms put in place to give people a real role will inevitably be hijacked by a vocal minority.
Let’s hope, eh?

Remember Mr Francis Guidera? No? Maybe this will refresh your memory – in July he contacted us demanding we remove this post where he demanded that the government arrest people who objected to the Pope visiting the UK. We responded with his request with the due care and attention we felt it deserved – namely, we made fun of him.
At the end of November, he reemerged from the murky waters of internet vilification and continued his campaign of scaring us with big legal threats, and so we continued to make fun of him.
I will be honest: I felt a little out of my depth responding to these emails as I wasn’t entirely certain about our legal grounding. With that said, some of my responses to Frank’s emails lose their comedy edge very quickly into the conversation replaced instead with genuine seriousness. Andrew, on the other hand, was far more confident about the whole thing, and in retrospect I wish it had been him who had continued the conversation – he’s much better at this sort of thing.
Let’s read on. (more…)

I’ll be honest, “Small Businesses – Your Problems with Procurement” is not the most entertaining public consultancy exercise the government has ever undertaken. But nevertheless,
