What do we want: GMT. When do we want it: an hour ago!

Contrary to popular belief changing the time on clocks does not alter the amount of daylight in summer.
If you want to do things earlier than you normally do, then may I suggest you do things earlier, not move your clock. Are trains late or is it the wrong type of clock?
In an increasingly connected world then having an agreed standard time is required. But why then change that standard twice a year. They wouldn't change how much a kilogram weighs twice a year would they (I probably shouldn't give them ideas!) . What if they did it for colours. ROYGBIV=>OYGBIVR. Are football supporters meant to start singing "come on you oranges". Would supermarkets have to relabel there fruits yellows? so why time?
I'll tell you why. govt just likes to tell everyone what to do. Basically they are telling everyone to get up an hour earlier just so they can watch all their subordinates obey.
I WILL NOT CHANGE MY CLOCKS. GMT FOREVER.

Thy name is control.

So the thief has taken from the poor (<£18,000pa) so he can give it back upon application, subject to some social engineering. This means that an ever increasing chunk of society are going to have their
take home pay decided not by agreement between employer 
and employee but by the thief himself.
This is an incomes policy by any other name. They tried it in the 70s and it failed then. I wonder what is going to happen this time?

Playing politics with peoples' lives

So the Cypriot government wants to raise the birth rate in greek Cyprus. GBP23,000/baby for the third or more baby a woman gives birth to. Guess what enquiries at abortion clinics have risen by women wanting to wait for the payments to come in.
So the first effect of a government proposal to raise the birth rate is going to lead to more abortions!
