    Back to the workhouse

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2012/jun/08/jubilee-stewards-unpaid-labour-growing Is this really the best way to give young people work experience and get out of the economic crisis? Frankly, I don't think so.

    Racism at the Euros

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/jun/07/euro-2012-holland-racist-abuse It seems to me that this year's tournament in Poland/Ukraine is just an accident waiting to happen.I wonder which country will be the first to withraw their players from the pitch and perhaps the tournament? :unsure:

    Riots verdict-"People need a stake in society"

    http://gu.com/p/36fea At the risk of stating the obvious, it seems to me that the headline of this article is entirely right. "People do need a stake in society." If not, then riots on the scale we saw last summer, will simply re-occur.Over to you. (Btw,I did look for an article on this...

    "Don't blame the British people.We know the islands belong to you"

    That's what Morrisey thinks about The Falklands,following on from Roger Waters.Looks like pop stars are leading the way,where the politicians fear to tread.I happen to think they're right.Over to you. http://gu.com/p/35qnc

    "Last year I went to Falklands. Before the British showed up, it was a happy place. They had flowery meadows and rainbow skies, and rivers made of chocolate, where the children danced and laughed and played with gumdrop smiles."

    Pay freeze for millions until 2020?

    http://gu.com/p/35v22 The future's not looking so good,if this is accurate.Neither bright nor orange,more like Leonard Cohen's "murder". "I've seen the future, brother: it is murder. Things are going to slide, slide in all directions Won't be nothing Nothing you can measure anymore."
