Today Conservative mayor of London, Boris Johnson, introduced his cycle hire scheme to the capital. I guess some things never change…almost 30 years on and the tories are still telling people to get on their bikes.
I can’t quite seem to decide upon my response to the news that the British election has resulted in a Liberal con coalition. My shortlist is below. I’m thinking of having a vote on it. Then again, maybe not…
Yesterday, Unilever commenced legal proceedings against extremist right wing party, the BNP, for featuring a jar of Marmite (a Unilever brand), in a ‘party political broadcast’.
It seems that the BNP’s bizarre use of the jar of controversial black spread is a response to a Marmite viral, posted earlier this month, featuring a spoof election broadcast by the ‘Hate Party’.
According to this piece, Griffin’s Facebook page is quoted as stating “Unilever PR men and lawyers over us like a rash. Very upset at our using Marmite in our TV broadcast. They should have thought of that before modelling the one for their Hate Party on us. They’ll be even more upset if they push us further and I start eating a jar of Marmite on my next live TV appearance!”
I look forward to watching Nick Griffin sucking down something thick and black.

According to this piece in the Huffington Post, a recent study by consumer electronics shopping site, Retrevo.com, has found that 36 percent of people under 35 admit to checking Facebook, Tweeting or texting, straight after sex.
I guess that smoking isn’t as popular as it used to be.
The same study found that over a quarter of under 35 year olds check Facebook more than 10 times a day…which means they are having sex almost as frequently as me.
