Wanna be alive, not just employed
There, following my heart
Even the light’s got faith in the dark, amen

I’m putting to one side my attitude towards the corporatisation of charities, and instead taking the opportunity to point out that this is the best advert on British TV at the moment.

Up yours Cancer.

Link 8 Feb An Amazonian Issue»

This is a really interesting peak behind the curtains at Amazon.

As a company Amazon has been, quite rightly, under intense scrutiny in the UK due to the ‘interesting’ way it conducts its corporate tax affairs. That scrutiny means that all aspects of Amazon’s business practices are now considered fair game.

Is it appropriate to compare the plight of these UK workers with those who work in the factories of Foxconn, or is that a step too far? Is this the price we pay for the knowledge economy and is it the case that ‘any job is better than no job’?

Does knowing about this (and I think most of us would admit to having suspicions about the type of labour exploitation that must underpin online prices) change our behaviour in anyway? 

Perhaps most simply; am I now less likely to buy books from Amazon?

Quote 8 Feb
For us, the men and women of broadcasting are not neuter: we find it incongruous to the point of impossibility to report of them, even when they are in agreement and speaking collectively, that ‘it’ said this, that or the other thing to us. Yet we cannot avoid the neuter singular altogether; we must often quote the actual words of a Charter or Licence. Whether we like it or not, we must ride two horses, Singular and Plural, round the ring of our Report and must leap from one to the other as best we can.

The 1949 Broadcasting Committee Report. (Paragraph 9)

Even within official political documentation there exists space for reflexivity and lavish rhetorical flourishes. This makes me very happy indeed.

Given the recent steps taken by the House of Commons in the UK it seems appropriate to post this.
