1. What Is The Point In Lowering Interest rates If Banks Do Not Pass The Reduction On To Borrowers?
http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb)

Description: You can guarantee that the banks will be lowering interest rates paid to savers, but they will be less inclined to drop their mortgage rates. The Bank Of England dropped the UK interest rate to the lowest in history today. It is a shame that nobody will benefit from this apart from banks. After years of thieving, [...]

2. Ukraine Is Going The Right Way If It Wants To Be Surrounded By Enemies
http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb)

Description: Short and sweet. Ukraine has an argument with Gazprom every year and frankly, nobody cares. But cutting off and stealing gas supplies intended for other countries is an act of war as it denies citizens of those countries heat during a bitter winter snap. So far Romania, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bosnia-Hercegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Hungary, Macedonia and [...]

3. The Premier League Is The Last Home Of The Greed Of 2008

Description: Jermain Defoe was sold by Spurs to Portsmouth for £12 million in 2008. Now Spurs want him back so how much do Portsmouth want? £15 million. What ridiculous thieves they are. Of course Spurs can refuse to pay it but in fact Portmouth’s desire for a 20% profit in a year, coupled with Spurs’ willingness to hand [...]

4. What Business Decisions Are Being Taken When Companies Like Wedgwood Can Go Bust?
http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb)

Description: I just read that Waterford Wedgwood, who have been making porcelain and china for 250 years, are going bust? I just find it incredible how many companies are going down the toilet, it makes me wonder how these business have stayed afloat for so long when they can all collapse so soon into an economic downturn. When [...]

5. A Database Of All Emails And Phone Calls Can Never Be Allowed To Happen
http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb)

Description: The UK government is planning a massive database containing the records of all phone and email traffic to and from the UK, with the option to outsource its creation and maintenance being considered. So much intrusion, inconvenience and restriction is done in the name of “security”, including the decision by US auto executives to travel to [...]

6. Sir Chris Hoy Makes A Mockery Of The Knighthood
http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb)

Description: I have absolutely nothing against Chris Hoy. He is a great sportsman and the sort of person you would hold up as a genuine role model. He has been knighted in the UK New Year honours, a decision I cannot make any sense of at all. The team GB cyclists did very well in the Beijing Olympics [...]

7. BBC Report Shows Ridiculous Calls To Emergency Services
http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb)

Description: Angry about mushrooms being added to your pizza? Peeved that shop workers won’t let your Priest ass use the staff toilets in a shop? If either of these applies to you - and you are an idiot - then you can simply dial the UK emergency services to get some justice. A BBC report shows some of [...]

8. Shoes Thrown At George Bush, Well Avoided!
http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb)

Description: The BBC reports that shoes were thrown at George W Bush by an Iraqi reporter on Bush’s farewell visit to Iraq. The guy managed to get both shoes lobbed at the President, who dodged them expertly without the help of his Secret Service suits. Throwing shoes, must be an Iraqi thing.

9. Is This Really India’s 9/11?
http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb)

Description: I was just listening to the podcast of CNN’s AC360. I like listening or watching American news. Obviously the coverage of US politics can be more in depth than elsewhere but often I like the over the top reporting of incidents, making them out to be much more important than they are to justify hours [...]

10. Justice For Materazzi

Description:

At the time I had some discussion with an Algerian friend of mine who said that Zidane should have killed Materazzi for that comment as this is the worst kind of insult you could direct at an Algerian. ... So it turns out that Materazzi did not say anything of the sort, instead saying that he preferred Zidane's sister to the French captain's offer of his shirt, which Materazzi was pulling at a corner.
