Corbynomics: A Dystopia

Yes, I saw that. Greece is a great example of what happens when countries over borrow and over spend, so he's well placed to advise someone who would quite clearly do exactly the same given half a chance.

I thought the Greek model was plan B for Ken if for some reason he can't get the Venezuela model off the ground....

Andrew Neil had a really interesting statistic on This Week -

Less than 40% of Labour members were in the party when Ed Miliband was voted leader.

Labour is a new party.

It's New Labour!

No, it's Classic Labour. Like Classic Coke. Thanks to a popular backlash they've brought back the original taste that you all know and love. We'll quietly ignore the fact that both versions are toxic to humans.

That's sad. Isn't it worth trying to save it for your kids - it's their ancestors?

I'm the unofficial archivist for our family and when a box of photos turn up I keep them whatever. The problem is they're just photos and very few have any identification so you start to find you don't recognise the people and the people you could ask are long dead.

In the past there were so few photos that you could pretty well work out who was whom. These days we take a gazillion photos. I reckon I must take the equivalent of a roll of film a week of pictures on average, often more. When I'm gone nobody has a hope of knowing whether the kid standing next to The Girl at the museum on Sunday is a cousin, a friend or just some random.

there are of course, loads of packages that allow you to write on the pictures the who, where, when if you so wish.

I thought Google would autotag stuff...and if they can't then gchq should offer the service to earn back some of the billions they have spent developing the ability.

Interesting piece from The New Statesman on Mr Corbyn:

I can't say I'm a regular reader but in my daily trawl of the right wing press for hate pieces on Mr Corbyn that moby imagines I undertake I found it.
