bullying, corporate greed, negotiations, Union

If only I did.

Over the recent days I have realised where my true calling is – standing up for workers who being bullied by fucking bastard managers and companies. Oh the joy of the cut and thrust of dialogue when all they are saying is “We are going to screw them” and you say “oh no your not…and I will tell you why”

Which side are you on boys!

AFP, amanda palmer, corporate greed, Free Music

In true AFP style (Amanda ‘Fucking’ Palmer), she has released her new album to everybody……literally. It is available to download from the site only paying what you can afford. She also set the precedent with the kickstarter campaign, cutting out the corporate music industry, and getting fans to donate support the costs.

http://www.amandapalmer.net/shop/

As album sales slump, this is the way forward; arists allowed freedom from the restrainst of greedy corporations but being truly supported by their fans.

Hoorah for Amanda Palmer.

capitalism, corporate greed

After emails, texts and now phonecalls I have only one response:

Fuck off you ambulance chasing parasites

JE Cooper 20012

Whilst I don’t condone any financial institution ‘misleading’ their customers – if you take it that any large capitalist corporation will fuck you somewhere along the line you don’t get to upset – I fucking hate kangaroo firms that pop up to assist you with a claim and then screw you more than you were screwed in the first place.

Olympic fiasco, empty seats, accusations of cheating and G4S guard abusing soldier.

corporate greed, g4s, Olympics, scandal, swimming

The Olympics is definately giving more headlines than just the sports – just how did Ye Shiwen swim so fast – as there was noone there to watch her. Corporate greed has left the Olympic committee with red faces, as thousands wanted seats but couldn’t get tickets certain corporations couldn’t be bothered filling the seats they had. Fill them with the army one critic said but is sort of defeats the purpose – let the seats stay empty and show the world how wasteful and greedy national corporations are.

Is Ye Shiwen a cheat, I don’t know and don’t really care – unless the chinese have managed to install jet propulsion into her feet that would be remarkable – people are only pissed off because she is faster than the fastest Amercan male – Fucking great a 16 year old who can beat america’s best – I applaud you.

And as the Archery went on G4S didn’t show any bitterness to the army bailing them out as one soldier was called ‘baby killer’ by a G4S steward at the same event.

The opening ceremony may have been fantastic but the rest………….

99%, corporate greed, minster church, phantom of the opera

Last night I went and saw The Phantom of the Opera at Minster Church, Croydon; there was no 3D or digital sound, but simply the original grainy black and white film but accompanied by an improvised performance on the church organ. What a joy to behold. The organist explained that this was the 248th time he had improvised to the film, and each time he tries to do it differently, focussing on various themes within the film.

I had never seen this classic silent masterpiece and it may me think about the whole context of communication within a political context. There is more than one way to skin a cat – the phrase goes, and hence there is more than one way to achieve what you set out to do. Whether you use confrontation, appeasement, consolidation or compromise it is still possible to get to the position you want, but the results may not necessarily be the same. Just like the soundtrack to the film, dependant on the overlying tone of the music can make the film be jovial or sinister, similiar to the discourse used by any protanganist.

The 99% are working within the boundaries of the law, very commendable some might say, but can this be viewed as appeasement and apart from the initial headlines will their protest actually make any difference to corporate greed. Now if everybody withdraw all their money from the bank at the same time – would they take note? 

One thing I do know is that Minster church is fucking cold, and pews are not comfortable after 20 mins.
