Don't ask me what I want it for (Aahh Mr. Wilson)

So I sat down and tried to figure out how much I could afford in rent for my new house. The depressing thing is how much tax I have to pay and for a minute there I sat complaining about it. Then I realised I needed to get a grip... we can all talk about inequalities in life but at the end of the day the benefits you get from paying tax is the society in which we live. Now I am not claiming that we live in some Utopia but when someone like Josephine Rooney gets treated as hero it annoys me.

The Poll Tax riots were actually about something and I have no doubt about the problems that this woman had to put up with but how does she expect this to help? These issues do have to be highlighted and I'm sure everyone is agreed that action need to be taken but at the end of the day there are better ways to go about it.

You know I wrote all the above yesterday and wasn't eloquent enough to express how I felt. Anyway the punchline came today when it turns out the woman was feeding the people on her street and effectively making them stay there rather than seek help.

I felt rubbish before and now I feel great so I am going to buy some books and look for new home... more on my purchases as I get them.
