while i'm having one of my sporadic rants on here (rest assured i will get annoyed and leave for a while again soon) can i just say - this is ridiculous and totally unnecessary what is happening to our country. can't we at least try to emulate the more progressive and successful (mostly) northern european countries? do we have to slavishly follow the worst aspects of the usa warmongers?
just back from visiting our daughter who is a printer in estonia and was struck first - by how cheap, and enjoyable, the football was (go fc flora!) how positive the people are, who have suffered greatly. a usually tragic (independent for 40 of its 800 year history) country is doing its best to progress, while our government strives to take us back to some victorian wage slave economy. come on people - we can do better than this. either a revolution is just round the corner or we are truly fucked by fascists. and their pathetic supporters....
