The BBC reported this week that unemployment in the UK rose by 118,000 in the three months running up until November, bringing the total unemployment figure to 2.69 million, according to official figures.
The government surely have to do something about this, I'm one of the unemployed and desperately job-searching, but the government need to help to create jobs.
The Olympics are coming to London this year and they've provided some jobs, even if they are short term, but I keep coming across vacancies that are unpaid. It's ridiculous, surely the Olympics should benefit those of us who live in London and the UK, it should be for more than just those who can run or are good with a bow and arrow, it should benefit all of us. It absolutely should not be another unpaid work experience opportunity, companies are already making the most of those!

The Manson Family performed ridiculous acts whilst in court, Manson carving an X on his forehead after not being allowed to represent himself as an attorney. Manson stated that he was “considered inadequate and incompetent to speak or defend himself” and so had “X’d himself from the establishment’s world”. The other Manson members copied this. The prosecution blamed the murders on Manson’s wish to trigger “Helter Skelter”, attested to by Kasabian who told the court that Manson had wanted to plant Rosemary’s wallet in a black neighbourhood. What a mad man! I’m surprised he didn’t want to plant the victims
Incorrect in assuming that light travelled with greater speed in a denser medium than a less dense one, Descartes was nevertheless the first to identify the fact that it was a property of the luminous body. His mechanical way of viewing light fits well into the rest of Descartes’ work. Descartes was the father of modern rationalism and seen by many as the individual in which the Scientific Revolution and the subsequent Enlightenment began. Best known for his philosophical statement, ‘I think, therefore I am’, Descartes was opposed to concepts that could not be empirically proved.
I think I just struggle to do boring things. I don't really need to look for a new job but I do want to, and I should, it's time I looked for new opportunities. But I guess if you're still comfortable the desperation isn't there, there's no fire under you to push you to get on with it!
