Joe's Jottings

The Political Classes still don't understand - we, the people, come not to praise David Laws, but to bury him as one who has defrauded us. #
England did not deserve that result - Japan should have won 2-0 IMO. Not an auspicious end to the pre-World Cup campaign. #
Got a lot to do today and this week - definitely a good day to go to Church to start matters off in a positive way! #
A request to all Twitter 'experts' - you don't tell me how to run my life on Twitter, and I won't tell you how to run yours. :-) #
Laws has broken the rules and must face the consequences. There should not be an attempt to generate a 'homophobia smokescreen'. #
Coalition supporters need to realise that perception in politics is all - Laws could not possibly have survived in his particular post. #
Really don't get the outpouring of sympathy for Laws - he broke the rules. Just like Labour and Tory politicians previously. Hubris again. #

A request to ALL UK politicians - please be honest in your dealings, or competent in your dishonesty. #
Interesting blog post from @inspiremetoday: Inspired by #LOST http://bit.ly/9XtPpo #
RT @timoreilly: This story from @nytimes brought tears to my eyes, & triggered thoughts about how shame can inspire us. http://bit.ly/bW5WhU #
But having said that, Laws broke the rules, and the relevant sanctions have to be applied and the consequences handled. #
Yes, Laws has been a bad lad - but £40,000 is chickenfeed compared to what the collective incompetence of Brown and Darling pissed away.... #
FINALLY watched the last episode of Lost - satisfying and thought provoking. #
Exciting stuff happening for a car-sharing / carbon saving project I'm involved with - 2 local authorities about want to talk!! #
Shopping done - back to the day job! #
RT @MarkRMatthews: RT @PragerRadio: “Politically incorrect is a euphemism for truths that are painful.” #TCOT #
Early adopters of ID cards are apparently pleading that their cards are not taken from them - I gather even some slaves loved their chains.. #
Making good progress on site coding - need to do some catch up on my 'To Do' list though - need to write the darn thing! #
Excited about what's happening in Hillsborough these days - follow the Hillsborough forum on Facebook as well... http://is.gd/crtLW #
The 'Miracle of Dunkirk' - a great feat by brave men and women - but maybe we need to focus more on the crisis of 2010. #
Good meeting with community assembly officers and other vcf groups - now home to work! #
Strange thing to say, but Bruce Springsteen and Richard Hawley fit together well on playlists! #

Newsnight on iPlayer re. Sheffield - yes, it will be painful. Shame the previous Government didn't think of this when they ran up the debt. #
Cooler day here in shiny Sheffield again - looking froward to a productive one! #
On the way home - good meeting on behalf of Hillsborough Forum #
Vegetating in #showroom If anyone from #gistlab around, please say Hi! #
hah! #gistlab - thanks for the help! Brain gets older, stuff runs out.... :-) #
New community space at Workstation in Sheffield - what's it called and can I drop in anytime to visit? #sheffield #geekup #
RT @Hills_Forum: Great news regarding Hillsborough in Bloom: Current feedback from the judges based on their spring visit is Silver Gilt! #
RT @bettakultcha: I remember what life was like before those 'Use by''best before' & now 'Enjoy by' dates came (cont) http://tl.gd/1fdkdf #
Woohoo! kicking off a new project! Yeah baby! #
Beautiful day here in Sheffield - full of meetings for me! #
