It's 12:01 and I've spent most of the morning doing very little other than surfing the net and catching up on Google Reader feeds. just put on the news and listening to what the new government has done today. Apparently first item of business was a 5% pay cut on Ministerial salaries plus their created a coalition cabinet to try and keep a lid on and deal with inter party difficulties. I really want this to work, cos we're well fucked if it doesn't, and, unlike Deb, I'm willing to give the Slitheen a chance.
Just announced - No 3rd Runway Heathrow, No ID cards, No Inheritance tax cuts but Yes too, Increases in the state pension, new taxes on the banks and a cap on immigration. So it’s all getting started lets see how it turns out. If anyone wants to keep score here’s a list of The Coalitions policies.
The Scottish Parliament is being televised as I’m writing this and true to form they’re blaming the English for everything. I see that David Miliband has already thrown his hat into the ring for the Labour leadership contest. It’s amazing how, after thirteen years of being a major part of the Government and the Parliamentary Labour Party, the moment he, or any other contenders, suddenly come up with a huge list of reforms to modernise the party. Why didn’t they mention these when they were in power if they had perhaps they might still be in power.
British Airways seems to be bend on self destruction. I have the feeling that the BA chief executive Willie Walsh will find himself removed if he doesn’t end this deadlock. Gave the staff back their travel perks and get back in to the game. This isn’t the right time to take you company to the brink simply out of sheer stubbornness!
I think my Tramadol tablets just kicked in cos I just came over all fuzzy headed… hello aren’t you a very pretty elephant, I’d always thought the saying “there’s an elephant in the room” was a metaphor for ignoring the obvious but look there you are in all your Pink Technicolor Glory! 
They’ve just interviewed Baroness Warsi (Who) 
the first Female Muslim cabinet minister…anyone remember Token Black from South Park? She’s just been appointed as both Chairman(?) of the Conservative Party and Minister without Portfolio (formally held by Hazel Anne Blears
… who is, allegedly, a Troll 
and who gives even Gingers a bad name!!!)
Spoke to Hasu the other evening; it seems that resources at work have dropped a huge gonad re: evening staffing levels and as a reult of this we find ourselves in the situation where there are upward of 40 calls in queue in the middle of May!!! What is the matter with some departments don’t they rely on historical data or do the just make it up as they go along; God I’m glad I’m on the sick!
