A blog for April, created in the midst of Professional Ethics revision about…
…my Facebook news feed.
So a lot of people have been moaning about the government and the budget cuts and the protests blah, blah, blah. In fact my entire Facebook wall at the moment is covered with different posts from friends about the fee increase. WHY DO WE CARE?! I mean, most of the people I know have been to or are at university. Stop moaning for the sake of it and focus on your degrees. (That made me sound a little like my gran and dad rolled into one!)
Also - we are in a recession. Boo hoo. The amazing thing about this country is that we have a reputation of just getting on with it. I mean, after the 7/7 bombings people got on with it. They were more cautious but their lives carried on. Ok relating a GLOBAL recession to a terrorist attack isn’t the best analogy but, if people stopped causing a fuss and went about their lives they would realise that even in the midst of an economic downturn there are still opportunities. Go out and find them - what use is trashing central London and causing more money to be used?! One more thing - whatever government is in power during a recession is hated. Considering that part of the coalition were sold out to the other part by their leader it is unfair to really attack them. Especially since there are only 57 of them…. But in all seriousness - yes there is a recession, yes there are going to be funding cuts and yes people will hate the government. What we need to remember is that the economy is sporadic, it will peak and then plummet, funding cuts will happen - we have to deal with it and the coalition government is our own problem. We put them there and if people are that serious about not liking them - they need to start the ball rolling to get them out. I for one want my facebook newsfeed to be an active procrastination tool not a political blog/debate!!!!
Rant over. Back to revision.
