Stream of consciousness on a lazy Sunday afternoon

Wow, finally back home after a week with no internet & a series of family arguments. My step-sisters are feisty types. Actually, thinking about it, everyone in the world can probably be divided into two types of people: those who enjoy conflict and those who just try to keep the peace. I definitely spent the week attempting to do the latter, it wasn't terribly fun. Oh well, at least the Devon coastline was breathtakingly beautiful (Look at the photo above, for instance), although I think I now have pneumonia after swimming in the English Channel in February. Oops.

Lol, though, all this build-up to the election is hilarious. I'm so lost as to why anyone would vote Labour at this point; even if you're left-wing, they've gone so far from their ideological roots and the results of their time in power actually reflect conservative ideals, if anything. Take this new 'fairness crusade', for instance, it's so ridiculous that it can only be considered a source of amusement. I mean, this party have been in power for well over a decade and have attempted to implement dozens of pathetic 'equality' initiatives & they've all failed. Social mobility has declined, the gap between the rich and the poor continues to widen, the standard of education keeps on falling. Labour are just a complete joke at the moment, from all perspectives. Especially with these new 'Gordon Brown = the Hulk' allegations, pmsl.

Speaking of politics, I'm visiting the House of Commons tomorrow to see the lovely Caroline Spelman, so that should be funfunfun. Hopefully, I can spend some time in the bar and pick up some good gossip. Ironically, whilst I'm busy chatting up our elected representatives, my LSE rejection is also going to arrive tomorrow, and their feedback will undoubtedly be that I'm not passionate enough about a politics course. Le sigh.

Well, I think that's everything of note (shush, I use the term loosely). Until next time.
