Realise what's going on you say - and what makes you think that your local
"indie" shop's any different from anything else - are they better people? So
you say I should vote for my local independent shop as opposed to corporate
whores Virgin. Well I've know people who've worked in both these and the
people in Virgin don't have to put up with the boss flashing money around,
telling everyone about his numerous properties and vehicles and how well off
he is, and also don't have to deal with earning a lot less money per hour.
It's never a pretty situation mate but it certainly isn't anywhere near the
black and white picture you paint it to be.
    The other thing being that people belting on about New Labour being
shite I find preposterous really, yeah, they can't do everything right, but
they're sure as fuck the best government that's existed in my lifetime, why
do we all convince ourselves that they're all corporate whores! Harold
Wilson admitted to his cabinet in the sixties that labour party policy
simply financially couldn't work, the fact that the party as whole in the
late 90's has finally caught up is something to be admired in my opinion.

....Oops, sorry Paul, forgot... no more political debate... arse.


Cheers,
    Keith.
