news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100705/ap_on_sp_so_ne/soc_wcup_watching_at_workTold they couldn't watch the World Cup on the job, Italian auto workers went on strike — conveniently, a half hour before game time.
Italy's Fiat said workers at the Termini Imerese plant staged a two-hour strike to protest the company's decision not to allow TVs during Italy's opening game against Paraguay on June 14. The roughly 700 night-shift workers simply walked off the job two hours early — conveniently, a half hour before game time.How's that a strike? Those guys should be fired. Fired, I say!

David Cameron has acknowledged axing school building projects is not "easy" nor "popular" as the political row over the government's plans has continued.
The prime minister said the decision was necessary because of the financial "mess" left by Labour and its failure to be open about where cuts would fall.
Some Tory MPs say they are worried about the impact in their local areas.
A Lib Dem minister said the coalition's "credibility" may be at risk if alternative funds are not found.
lol, scum
Also, I laughed at the "s around "credibility". Gotta love the Beeb.

Politicians shouldn't be in it to be popular.
Speaking at a school in Cornwall, Mr Cameron said the decision to discontinue the schemes had been "very difficult" but blamed the previous government for planning 50% cuts in capital expenditure without giving any details of where.
"We have come in, we have inherited this situation," he said. "Half of the school projects will go ahead but half of them can't go ahead.
"We have had to announce what those are. Now that is not easy and I know it is not popular. But it is because Labour government left the country in such a complete mess, with the biggest budget deficit in the G20."
He stressed "this does not mean we cannot have more money going in for future schools and we can do that but it does mean we had to say very clearly these projects cannot go ahead because there isn't any money".
<3 responsibility.

How is it responsibility when he justifies everything by blaming the other party for the global recession every five seconds?

www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/07/08/AR2010070802795.html"We will see who can last longer, Mendoza, you with your millions or me with my morals," Chávez said in a nationally televised speech in June. "Because you are the rich one. You are going to hell, to heaven you will not go."
The president has also called on workers to rise up against the elites. "I invoke the real Venezuelan working class for economic war against the bourgeoisie," said Chávez, who directly warned Mendoza that he could nationalize the entire Polar companyChavez you so silly~

It's like he missed the whole "Religion is the opium of the people" bit of Communism.

Admit iiiit
Though these days I'd say it's been somewhat usurped by 24 hour entertainment.

They're no worse than any other kind of TV really. eh, reality shows provide no value whatsoever at least watching a documentary you'll probably learn something, watching some show usually conveys a message or moral and still presents the chance to learn things (hell, I've learned from M*A*S*H) reality shows give you nothing, you just stare at morons |

Is it just me, or is it weird when pro-choicers want to ban things like trans fat, sugary drinks etc?
