[Link] | FFS (guardian link):
"On Monday, Colin Read, a management consultant, was fined just £2,000 for a catalogue of violence against his wife, Elizabeth Axe. Read became violent soon after the couple married last year, and, in one of the worst attacks, slashed his wife's feet with a knife while she was asleep because she hadn't made his sandwiches for work the next day."
Current Mood: shocked

[Link] | Bah. Prostitutes may be sent to jail. I'm no fan of men who pay for sex, but targeting people for solititing is still pretty awful.
Current Mood: aggravated

[Link] | Predictably, after whining on LJ last night I feel completely fine now...
Happy Birthday to innocent_irony. I won't be able to make your birthday celebrations tonight, unfortunately (no money whatsoever, and I have to work a 14 hour day tomorrow!), but I hope you have a great time :).
Also, Nhs reform. Hmmmmm.....
From the article:
Geoff Martin, for London Health Emergency, said: "This is a package of cash-led cuts to local services dressed up as a rational planning process ... If these plans are bundled through, Londoners can expect long journeys through the capital's busy streets in a blue-light ambulance in order to access emergency care."
Current Mood: relaxed

[Link] | Since when did the Guardian become a lads magazine? What an arse. If all men really were as boring, uninterested in people and stupid, I think I would have become some sort of radical feminist ages ago.

[Link] | Note: If people are going to post obnoxious comments on my LJ I shall delete them, no matter how much I like the person who posted them.

[Link] | Well, university is over. I had my final exam. I think I messed up the second question on that exam quite a bit...oh well. Now, I think I must get drunk!
Coming back to Cambridge soon. Not sure whether to come back straight away or to wait for a few days.

[Link] | From hippie to yuppie: Guardian article
"Anita Roddick...ran a supposedly right-on business whose attitude to worker representation was summed up by a 1996 edict: "The Company does not formally recognise any Trade Union as representing any of our employees, and has no plans to do so." "
Not sure to what extent I agree with this anymore (I used to make this argument all the time), but I do think that many hippies have a tendency to put the idea of individual change (colourful clothing, yoga etc) above the idea of actually changing economic inequality.

[Link] | Had the Best Dream Ever last night. I so didn't want to wake up.
( Iraq stuff )
Oh, and a friend just sent me this link via MSN - Richard Dawkins interviews the Bishop of Oxford. Dawkins comes across pretty well, though I don't have time to watch it all now.
