Don't believe the hype over yesterday's strikes. The lollipop ladies and nurses didn't cause this
financial crisis so why are the government raiding their pensions? This article on New Statesman
outlines exactly why these changes to the pensions are unjustified.
Just look at the graph, the pensions outlay is decreasing as a percentage of GDP.
Last week, the continuing discussions about the pros and cons of football agents reached the Dutch
parliament. Socialist MP Tjeerd van Dekken called on the sports minister to consider legislation on
agents picking up under-16 players. On the Labour Party's website, he used the term

ronselen", a word equivalent in meaning to the English phrase "press gang".

I did like this on QI... Apparently you can see an image of Lenin hidden in the Labour Party
logo
Looks good I grant you...but then again consider the Ducks are all wearing dog masks funny doing

Yep, you heard/read that right. Sunderland's big-name January signing is looking likely to be
none other than the former Foreign Secretary David Miliband who is, if memory
serves, a staunch Gooner by trade.
After losing out to his younger brother, 'Red' Ed Miliband, in the race for the Labour party
leadership, it seems as though Miliband the elder is now on the verge of joining chairman
Niall Quinn on the Black Cats' board in a non-executive, vice-chairman capacity
that will see him focus on both the club's international and community work in return for £50,ooo
a year.
Defeated Labour leadership contender in line for Prem move Sunderland fans hoping for a big-name
signing in the January transfer window may be granted their wish but probably not in the way they
expected. For months now the rumour mill has been in full swing over who David Miliband would sign
for next.
