Overall, it’s been a pretty bleak week or two in British Politics. First the long-awaited Browne review told us fees could rise thousands of pounds if the cap was to be lifted, and that graduates like us who benefit more out of university will have to pay more towards it. The Defence Review of last week also informed us of drastic cuts to the armed forces which could put Britain’s security at risk. As of last Wednesday’s comprehensive spending review, we have found out that the government will support these rising fees and slash university funding by 40 per-cent. It’s all pretty bleak - not really something I want to turn on the TV and listen to before a 9am lecture.

Pills.
Something I wrote in year 11 for creative writing....
Pills.
The taxi screeched abruptly to a halt, piercing the dark night with the echo of tyres on tar. A black cat darted in front of the car, yet only the fluorescent yellow lights could be seen; a bad omen for the night, thought the man. He readjusted himself in his seat, fiddling with the settings on his camera and let out a soft sigh.

Results Day!
(May 7th)
Darling, I'm on the train. Bercow held Buckingham (as he would do) with 48% (down from 58% last year though) and John Stevens in second place on 22%. Farage, to my surprise, got 21%, which is fairly high for UKIP in a conservative constituency. Overall, pretty unsurprising. Did you really have to do a recount on that? It wasn't really worth waiting til 2.30 for (PM!)

Abused by the political system?
Thursday 6th May 2010. D day. D for decision that is.
Having made the effort to rummage around the kitchen and find my polling card this morning, I came across a pile of election leaflets my mother had kindly not thrown out for me (I already kept the first copies, they were duplicates...) So I read through them (again) and then failed (yet again) to be inspired by any of them.
