Eric Pickles comes across as alright, shame the interviewer seemed to dominate the scenario, its one thing to pose the opposite view in a debate, but to stand there and batter down people who are trying to vote for the idea of reducing council tax, makes you look like an idiot. Its important for council budgets to be able to go down as well as up, something they and many other public institutions have failed to do becasue they dont live in the real market.

design is turning to shit literally. form seems to be winning over function every bloody time and it angers me, design is not just a witty visual joke ? we cant solve battery life issues in smartphones because idiot designers want to sell them a slim as a mint wafer, meanwhile another idiot designer thinks its worthwhile building a £500 pigeon coop to spend 3 months making 50p’s worth of soap ? Designers need to worry that theyre on the list with the banking industry and government as being basically pointless ?

pointless design

Emma Harrison who runs A4e, whose main premise seems to be to pay poor family’s to get back into work through some kind of convoluted bullshit marketed, taxpayer funded slush fund, ie just another more complex form of benefits funded no doubt on government debt, that some future generation of taxpayers is supposedly going to payoff. With results which the company itself describes as ‘missing its targets’ > meanwhile the government gets to remove the people on such taxpayer funded schemes from the unemployment figures ?

in this process Emma Harrison herself becomes £8.4 million wealthier in just one year !!!!!! well at least this government funded scheme is working for someone ?

A £160m-£180m is leeched from the imaciated taxpayers arse, directly into this private company, it has no other source of income ? as so many other public sector outsourced companys thrive by just pure leeching from the taxpayer, and A4e’s shareholders ?! were paid £11m in dividends ?! so effectively £11m just went direct from taxpayers pockets into making private shareholders wealthier ? wow super efficient way for the government to spend !

But does she give a shit ? I doubt it, she’ll fuck off sheepishly to some place where they dont care where she stole her money from , just like any other criminal ?

The arena of service manuals is a ripoff … do you own the rights to the service manuals you are peddling on ebay ? one thing the EU should sort out is free access to service manuals beyond the point at which these companys are prepared to service their products its ridiculous were exposed to getting them through third party dodgy websites.
