‘Super-fast broadband’ in UK homes by 2017

By admin, 1 February, 2010, No Comment

The Conservatives have unveiled plans to deliver a “nationwide super-fast broadband”, part of which could be funded from the BBC licence fee.

Shadow chancellor George Osborne said a Tory government would deliver speeds of 100 megabits per second (Mbps) to the “majority” of homes by 2017.

He said cabling in rural areas could be paid for by private investors, with the licence fee making up any shortfalls.

Well thats the Tory promise anyway. But isn’t there plans already in place? And how come licence fee payers have to pay for this? I cant help but think this is just rubbish.

David Tennant v The Conservatives

By admin, 9 January, 2010, No Comment

David Tennants comments on the Tory Party:

“I would rather have a prime minister who is the cleverest person in the room, than a prime minister who looks good in a suit.”

“I think David Cameron is a terrifying prospect,” added the 38-year-old star.

The Scottish actor, a long-term Labour supporter who appeared in a party political broadcast in 2005, likened the Conservative leader to “a regional newsreader who will jump on whatever bandwagon flies past”.

“I get quite panicked at the notion that people are buying his rhetoric, because it seems very manipulative to me.”

“Clearly, the Labour Party is not without some issues right now and I do get frustrated. They need to sort some stuff out, but they are still a better bet than the Tories.”

For the record I think I agree. I kinda want to support Lib Dem, but I cant help but think a Labour vote maybe more worth while?
