General election 2010: The liberal moment has come
If the Guardian had a vote it would be cast enthusiastically for the Liberal Democrats.
Just watched an episode of Rev in which the local evangelicals came and offered money but for something that bore no resemblance to the core business of the local church. Reminded me very much of what's happened to the G, over the last five years.www.leftfootforward.org/2010/08/guardia ... esurgence/
Aug 18 2010
Today’s ICM poll for the Guardian puts the Labour party on level terms with the Conservatives for the first time since October 2007. But as noted by UK Polling Report’s Anthony Wells, “the Guardian’s report concentrates upon the findings on the economy”. The topline number is buried on page seven of the paper and appears in the tenth paragraph of their online story.

Re: Saturday 6th & Sunday 7th December 2014
A few might be, but if you're out of employment it must (often) get harder and harder to get a job - both in terms of the psychology of the job seeker and the attitude of the potential employer. I'm guessing that the negative attitudes come from people assuming that people are unemployed out of choice, am trying to think about possible ways to tell the story. eg: how involuntary redundancy, self-service checkouts, outsourcing and offshoring, etc etc etc contribute to unemployment figures in UK.WelshIan wrote:
I'm not sure if by voluntary you mean those making a 'lifestyle choice'? If you resign a job without a good reason then you can't get JSA for up to 6 months. Even with a good reason you may find it hard to claim!
In response to FOI requests, the DWP has figures for numbers of JSA claimants who have claimed for at least 10 years:
August 2012 - 1,070
Feb 2014 - 1,130
https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... b-feb-2014" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Are these people voluntarily unemployed, though, and making a 'lifestyle choice'? We can't conclude that as there are a variety of factors in why they are unemployed. It would be interesting to have an age breakdown of when they 1st became unemployed as some of these may have been made redundant in their 50's and have not been able to get a job since because of their age.
edited to make last sentence read a bit better, I'm sure it could be improved again!

Might it be possible to line up real, ordinary people to go on #CMG for an appointed half an hour to answer questions? Or something. You know, people who work for charities and food banks, or are firemen, teachers or whatever? Little question and answer concentrations for specific times within the rest of it.

Re: Saturday 6th & Sunday 7th December 2014
With the MSM's failure to understand that social media has altered how people interact with information - and with it seeing technology merely as a way to generate clicks and not as a way to respond to the new ways in which content will now be generated, gathered and curated - it really looks as though it's in danger of precipitating its own demise. It's complete disrespect for its potential users is abundantly clear and - rather than brainwashing us as it hopes - is actively driving more and more of us elsewhere.

More of the slimy underbelly of the Establishment has been revealed ... I cannot understand how he can remain an immigration judge having resigned from being a district judge, presumably as a result of being under investigation for these remarks. Can't think of a worse area for him to be making judgements in ... not that there's a good one by the sound of this.Judge resigns after making racist remark about victim
Richard Hollingworth, who is an immigration judge, resigns as district judge after saying woman would ‘only be working in a shop’
http://www.theguardian.com/law/2014/dec ... llingworth
And some politicians - yes, Mrs May, you - still wonder why many of us are very suspicious and sceptical of these Establishment figures - or figures in power. It's because we know views like this are far too prevalent ...

The entire article is good - the final paragraph is here -"Sands are running out for Britain’s hourglass labour market
There’s work at the top and the bottom.
But without mid-level jobs, infrastructure won’t improve, and nor will the tax take"
Katie Allen"Ultimately, if industries can see they have skills gaps, they must find their own ways to plug them. That means more apprenticeships and more work with schools to make careers in areas like construction and engineering more attractive. But just as importantly, employers must provide lifelong training opportunities to keep more people in fairly paid, productive work."

Premier Foods to reform system of demanding payments from suppliers
Food company faced criticism from government and industry over its terms on now scrapped pay-to-stay scheme
http://www.theguardian.com/business/201 ... -suppliers
They don't sound very apologetic, do they. Misunderstood and misinterpreted - my arse - it almost sounds as though they feel like the victims here. And looks like the suppliers are still going to be paying them ... just a new kind of listing 'mechanism'.“Over the last few days it has become apparent that this mechanism has been widely misunderstood and misinterpreted,” said Gavin Darby, chief executive of Premier. “In this situation, we are fully prepared to simplify the details of our future programme to a more conventional type of discount negotiation, potentially based on price, value or volume-based rebates, or lump sums.”

Dear Mr Darby, Chief Executive of Premier Foods,
I am contacting you to inform you of our exciting plans to reduce the number of rapacious companies we buy products from. As part of this process, we are offering you the opportunity to invest in our grocery budget in order to remain on the list of those we buy from.
Just pop us a cheque in the post, there's a good chap.
Love and kisses
Working on the wild side.
