Political soundness of mind

I could not let it wait too long before thanking Gordon Brown for renewing my faith in good old fashioned Socialist values and the role he has played in leading not on the UK but also Europe and the US on a trip to recovery. The recession still has a way to travel but at least the melt down has been arrested a little.
I always believed many years ago that G. Brown would come out of the shadows of the former Labour Party Leader John Smith [1938-1994] having spent many years learning from the great man, whose life was unfortunately cut short.
Now that he has stepped out of the darker recesses of the shadows left by Blair G. Brown has been able to show the depth of his political prowess without breaking into a sweat or, as Blair would’ve done, a song and dance about it.
It is now time to put an end to the Greedy and self motivated rule of law in both Governments and Banking systems alike and a final nail or knife in the back to the legacy left by Thatcherism, New Labour [Blair] and the Zionist that is GW Bush.

Double, double, toil and trouble

The current financial crisis continues to dominate the news with the top four stories on the internet news site I regularly read predicting the recession will last more than a year. As we are just beginning to feel the effects of the crisis ourselves the dreaded Christmas word rears its head as the shops begin to fill with Christmas wares. We are of a mind to get back to basics when it comes to the festive season and cut right back on presents and make more of the occasion through food with friends and family.
My mother always ensures we have meat on the table at Christmas as she pays weekly into an account with the local butcher for her four children so they have more than enough to eat over and beyond the festive season.
We noticed today whilst out perusing a local butchers that along side the best cuts of meat were also some more of the old traditional off-cuts that have not been in favour for a number of years. The thought of making my own Ox tail soup is mouth watering! Any recipes?
