Guardian article.

The article raises important questions, most importantly “should the owner of TV-Links have been arrested?”. My view is simple, and here is the petition I have signed. This isn’t the important question to be asking though. (more…)

Article.

When I first heard about Yuwie I smelt a rat. What they say about users creating the content and users earning money for it is all very good, but that’s not what Yuwie is offering. If it were to not include the referral policy it would be but with it no one is going to concentrate on the content when they can just get other people to join it. And surely quite the contrary to encouraging people to create high quality content to attract pageviews it will just create spam.

What do we all think the result of it will be? Most people will not get rich from it, but I’d imagine a few people might. But will it survive? Will it be allowed to survive? Will it burn out once a large number of people have joined.

And above all: is it immoral to join?

It’s come up already a few times so I thought I’d blog about it.

My personal view is that there should be an allowance of maybe £1000-£5000 to cover immediate costs from the decease and then the rest should be very highly taxed. 90%+ maybe.

Redistribution of wealth moves us closer to equality one could argue. And as the inheritors have not worked for the wealth, surely it’d be better spent on hospitals, schools and roads.

Initiatives would have to be put in place for persons under the age of say 21,  so that they can afford to stay in education and whatnot.

What do we all think?

Thus, I am going to write this post with the aim of allowing some form of debate to develop. I have chosen a topic which is marginly less Left Wing vs Right Wing, on the grounds that I believe even Tories deserve an equal chance. Thus:

Propaganda Pacman!

Is it just me who can’t believe this one is still being used?

1. We all want increased government spending on Education, Health, Transport etc.

2. This requires additional income to the government.

3. Taxes are the government’s main source of income.

4. We all want tax cuts.

Points 2 and 3 are fact, therefore either Point 1 or 4 is wrong.

Which one could that be?

Urgh - Tories… Anyone with any common sense will see right through that joke of a policy.

 � I read of one Israeli academic shouting out “Boycott me!” during a conference on whether or not to boycott Israeli academics and journalists. It apparently moved everyone greatly. Good for them. How about moving back then? (more…)

The mythical Blair-Brown agreement of passing leadership has staggered into position, well over a decade after it is thought to have been formed. Mr Brown’s first speech as Prime Minister shouted the idea of “change” so loudly it was almost possible to forget who was second in command of the regime we’re so eagerly distancing ourselves from. So what can we actually expect from a Brown-led government? (more…)
