Yasmin Alinhai Brown – a woman who should be read.

Christmas, hedonism

My favourite columnist from the Independent; apart from her style of writing her point of view always appears to be more down to earth than the usual left liberal standing of people like Owen Jones.

Her article on Christmas is a must to read:

Boxing Day – a day for giving

Christmas, poverty

Boxing Day, so called as it was in Victorian times, the wealthy used to box up all the things they didn’t want to give to the poor. I suppose you could now call that Brighthouse, but charge 3000% apr. as material desire has got hold of people, there will always be those who will exploit.

Whilst all those attacking big corporations is admirable, just and morale, it is companies like these that are really dangerous to the working classes. Spiralling debt which can lead to depression which in turn can lead to suicide.

This is the scourge of our society, those who pray on the desperate.

cameron, Christmas, george osborne is a cunt, tory party

and may the new year bring the demise of oppression, greed and the Tory Party.

There are so many people who have died this year who have spent their lifetime fighting for a better world and then there is Cameron & Osborne – where is the justice!

I was shocked……the police have a sense of humour!

Christmas, humour, paradox, police

Whilst I was waiting in the fishmongers yesterday, a police van and car in tow stopped outside due to traffic lights. Over the tannoy some female copper shouting happy Christmas to all in penge. She the noticed us all in the fish shop and shouted HAPPY FISHMAS to all in the fishmongers.

Oh how we laughed.

Either they were going to a Xmas bash or more likely just finished from the night before.

Maybe an ACAB Christmas do!

Clueless Cameron sends confused Christmas card

Christmas, Tory

Cameron can’t even get the season right – the fucking summer Olympics on A Christmas card?

The other cards are just as bad; Ed looking smug with his family that could represent any type of card. At least Clegg got his kids to make his card!

Welcome to my world and not Jim Reeves’

anxiety, Christmas, jim reeves, me

The build up for Christmas affects me so much, unlike everybody else bounding with excitement and joy, I become more anxious and depressive than normal, and a right miserable cunt. Why? I don’t really know, (if I really knew I would make a fortune in self help books), don’t get me wrong I love Christmas when it’s actually here I think I really dislike all the expectation and the pressure that it brings. Basically the build up to Christmas always appears to be about the money, and whilst I am in more fortunate position than a lot of other people, the constant messages from everywhere that showing somebody you care equates to expensive gifts. Generally people, if you buy them a present, don’t appear to be satisfied with ‘thoughtful’ presents any more only how much it costs.

Get into more debt, build up that credit card, it’s christmas………pay it off over the year before you do it all again. A self perpetuating market for the financial institutions. Watch in January as the use of payday loans go through the roof!

I generally do enjoy the giving of presents at christmas (don’t actually like the receiving though), but mainly because I am lucky to have friends and family that don’t have expectations. Before you think I have gone all godly, religion has no place in our house at Christmas but I do believe Christmas is a time to think about not only your friends and family but also those whose circumstances mean that they are alone at Christmas.

In my view religion only dictates what is right because it is right, and not because right is dictated by religion. (that is another discussion though).

 Welcome to my world

It’s quite dark in here at the moment!

Christmas, final salary pension scheme, Unilever Strike

Workers who have taken part in any strike action against Unilever closing their final salary pension scheme, are now having their Christmas party and bonus axed.

A spokesman said: “We felt it would be inappropriate to provide Christmas hampers or gift vouchers to our employees at the sites where industrial action is taking place.

Ho Ho Ho – Merry Christmas 

What a bunch of wankers – Unilever not the strikers!
