It was my art teacher's last day before maternity leave today, so our class got together and made her this:
Which I think is quite sweet (I'm in the bottom left)- we also found it quite amusing how the other art teachers fitted so well in the panels of the saints.
Secondly, this:
THE TRUTHORDARE MEME
And now...
This is the dude who is effectively running Europe now. Lisbon Treaty's done and dusted, the Tories have finally shut up and everything's sunshine and smiles.
Except it's not. I wouldn't call myself a Eurosceptic- I think the EU's a brilliant idea- but I really, really don't like where it's heading now. Individual nations are losing their sovreignty to a system which was originally created to bring together the economic interests of a fundamentally similar set of countries. Now the EU is changing, with more and more countries added to the mix, bringing with them a huge variety of economic and social interests, and there is no opt-out to the policies being produced. You'd think that, as countries came in who would need different policies to others, that those others would be able to keep their own counsel in those cases, wouldn't you?
Evidently not. I mean, I'm sounding almost like one of those journalists everyone points and laughs at, and I'm hating the tone I'm using here, but I'm just trying to work out how people that anyone in Britain under the age of 56 didn't vote for can decide what happens to us. This isn't democratic at all. The people need a voice, and the EU isn't giving us one.
On the other hand, this campaign makes me lol.
