The Blood is The Life 01-04-2012
Sunday, April 1st, 2012 10:00 am- Government to reconsider nerve agent pesticides - Nature - Environment - The Independent
It'll be interesting to see who wins out in this - big business pesticide manufacturers, or self-preservation instainct for the human race. Normally I wouldn't bet on the latter with politicians, but given that Vince Cable likes bees....
- More on those donor diners
Peter Black casts a plague on both their houses, and knows where the answer lies.
- Steph and her Mom - This is what women in superhero comics should be
"She’s an awesome superhero and it doesn’t matter that she’s a girl. And from charging in as Robin to a possible evolution as Nightwing, she proves it. That’s what women in comics could be. I think Steph not only exemplified what women could be in comics, but gave all women hope for better representation in comics. Hell, I felt like her entire struggle with self-worth, forging her own destiny and breaking into the Batboys’ club was almost allegorical of how women struggle within comics itself. Even on a meta level, it’s what women go through in an environment that is often hostile to them reading comics."

OMG YOU GUYS THE PLAGUE OF THE ZOMBIES BLURAY IS NEARLY READY!!! Also, so sad that they KNOW there is footage missing from Ra-raRasputin but they can't find it :(
- Even I’m starting to wonder: what do this lot know about anything?
"When Mrs Thatcher piled up the coal at power stations until the strike began in 1984, she was not inconveniencing the public. In 2012, the Coalition is trying to press-gang the public, without saying so, into its political battles. All those people queuing on the forecourts were pawns in a Government-organised blame-game."

Say something racist on twitter: 56 days in jail. Say something racist while in rozzer uniform: CPS won't charge you till the dead tree press kick up a fuss. Welcome to equality under the law, people.
- I DO NOT HAVE AN EATING DISORDER - Page 36
"My mind does this little trick to all kinds of statements/compliments, not necessarily just those about my weight. Got one answer wrong on the test? Stupid. Someone comments that they miss your old haircut? Ugly. Showed up to the party but accidentally left the gift at home? You are the worst friend in the history of friendship. " Yup, I know those feelings.

- How the Political Parties Exclude the General Public
It's rare I'll link to anything on the egregious Tory tosser's website, but this is worth it, I think. Some of the criticisms made of "the three main parties" apply more to the big two than the Lib Dems - particularly on policy formation - but they still apply. For instance, in all seriousness, a potential candidate for our party being instantly and offhandedly dismissed as a possibility because they haven't put in enough YEARS delivering leaflets. That's just total fuckwittery IMHO.

Christ on a bike this is horrendous. Poor Alex. But at least her mum is looking out for her.
