It was budget day today in 'the old sod' which had zero impact on my financial situation as the measures announced really only related to anyone with Kids under 6 years old or those property developers with millions in tax havens. I watched the live cast of the speech up until the screen turned green and upside down, It got difficult to stay motivated, I couldn't actually see anything at all, it became like the alien's view in alien, I remembered Tommy Cooper's joke:
went up the town today to buy a pair of camouflage trousers....................But I couldn't find any !!
I subsequently learned about the new (universally welcomed by academia here) fourth level education tier that's been announced, yet another hegemonic construct, specifically for PHD students and the preservation of higher class/glass ceilings in the country's universities. Not a peep about the main primary and secondary levels, nothing about social inclusion or stay at education initatives, a bit of buddy backslappin' really, buy what else do you expect in ireland.
I have been listening, watching and reading various pod casts, videoblogs, blogs and articles for the last couple of months, just doing some groundwork for when I launch mine in a couple of weeks. Some really cool and innovative stuff out there, and of course the debate is absolutley raging about the bucket loads of shite being produced by the semi-literates in internet cafes.
Frankly I think everyone should have a voice - however annoying to some.
