		<title>Knowing the cost, ignoring the value</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve discovered, rather by accident, that the beeb have shuffled their news 24, parliament and alba services to a different satellite beam. This (in a non-technical description) keeps the Beeb more tightly focussed on the UK and reduces costs. Hurrah! The beeb reduce costs. And coverage &#8230; And that for one of the most respected [...]]]></description>

		<title>MP&#8217;s and Twitter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the past couple of days I&#8217;ve been having an exchange of views on Twitter with an MP. He supports the eviction of Dale Farm because &#8216;they broke the planning regulations&#8217;. Eviction will see a community damaged, families removed from their homes and forced to leave the area they live in because the Council haven&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>On a Plane. Again.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So after too long, I&#8217;ve finally got around to loading the app and being able to blog on the go. I&#8217;m off to Russia, for the first time, with work. It&#8217;s a bit strange. It&#8217;s not a country I&#8217;ve had much experience of apart from a couple of books. I&#8217;ve met a couple of Russians [...]]]></description>

		<title>Big Society</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know what it is about Cameron but his repeated calls for a &#8216;Big Society&#8217; really grate. The way this Government attacks the weak and powerless and tries to shift blame onto &#8216;us&#8217; for the reckless fraud of investment bundlers is bad enough but being told that I should spend more time volunteering and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy New Year!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a mad few months hence the lack of blogging. Add in Twitter and finding the time to blog has been hard. Looking back, 2010 was a hard year. We&#8217;ve had too many doctors to see, too little time to enjoy things but we have made new friends and had new experiences. It&#8217;s been [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ban T-Shirts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I came across Ban T-Shirts via Twitter (@Col_Irrelevant if you can be bothered). Seems like my kind of t-shirts although I don&#8217;t agree with all of the slogans. But that&#8217;s the way of t-shirts I suppose. Some you like, some you don&#8217;t. I liked this one Have a look and see what you think!]]></description>

		<title>Papal Visit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not a Catholic so a visit by the Pope to the UK was a source of interest and amusement. Watching the coverage made me smile and wince in almost equal measure. The Pope in this version is not someone I admire. I find some of his previous actions nasty and inexcusable. I also find [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Spain &#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a while since we arrived. It&#8217;s good for the most part but yesterday was a sad day. The day of the National Strike. No one wanted it, everyone knew nothing would change because decisions about national direction are now taken by bankers, investors and other people. Personally, it made me sad to see [...]]]></description>

		<title>Strange gifts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I went to see a business today and was presented with a CD of big band music covers of Elvis, Tom Jones, Frank Sinatra, etc. All done by the owner of the Company we were visiting. Strange or what?]]></description>
