does he issue a press release or is there some sad bastard somewhere who phones up Morrissey every week and asks him about what's in the news?

re public sector wages etc, while we're not on the topic, i'm gonna take my p60 this week and check out getting medical card, rent support, etc, cos tbh 400 quid isnt doing much for me week to week this past few months.
Recession biting anywhere else, or do i just need to learn to budget?

absolutely fuck the queen.a few weeks ago I was ambivalent about this visit, altho dreading the inevitable horseshit from RTE/the Irish Times about maturity etc.
i'm now actively annoyed - first off by the ludicrously OTT security operation - there are snipers on the roof of the Spar on the corner by my work. FFS. if they're actually that worried maybe it's not actually the right time for her to visit? not to mention the fact that we didn't have any of this crap for 30 years of troubles when people were being shot/blown up every day, 100 miles down the road.
second off, it's annoying but far from surprising how quickly we switch into police state mode. obv eirigi are headcases but the complete quashing of dissent, including ripping down every one of their cheap little posters, is thoroughly depressing.

Independent editorial yesterday:http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/leading-articles/leading-article-a-visit-that-will-test-how-far-two-countries-have-come-2284676.html
Our relations could still be better, and would be, if in this country we paid more heed to the horrors visited on Ireland in Britain's name, and if everyone in Ireland was willing to let go of the past.
Incoherent sentiment overall, but the scale of that last clause is fantastic.
