		<description><![CDATA[I submitted this proposal to my school regarding what would happen if they go ahead with academy status. Either the school is taken over by a private corporation, or we save it by taking it into collective ownership, I&#8217;ve already had worries over the legality of children owning shares in a co-op, and I can&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

And I&#8217;ve had the lyrics for Anatomy of your Enemy by Anti-Flag floating around for a while. They&#8217;re vaguely relevant to the situation, so I&#8217;ve re-published them here in a modified form: First step: create the enemy. Sometimes this will [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over time I&#8217;ve been exploring the ideas of media ownership and how propaganda can be used for good. It&#8217;s raised serious questions regarding freedom of speech which I&#8217;ve tried but not entirely succeeded to dismiss. And so I present some more solutions to this problem. A disadvantage of a media industry influenced by capitalism is that it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Thursday I went to #Voicetweetup and got the chance to handle an iPad, imported from America by Amanda Clark. It&#8217;s by all means an impressive device, and I admire it&#8217;s aesthetic simplicity, yet overall it&#8217;s a flawed product. The reason I see it as flawed is that it&#8217;s not open. To help you understand what I [...]]]></description>

It made me think back to an article George Monbiot wrote, here&#8217;s the relevant extract: There’s one respect in which the local press is confronting power: by campaigning against the free papers published [...]]]></description>

Inside were sketches of various expressions and a character, when asked about [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Before I go full rant I should say that I totally understand the upset caused by state propaganda. I&#8217;m writing this in response to a former comrade who clearly flinched at the notion. It offends their libertarian instinct. I had that same knee-jerk reaction too, now after careful reflection and having read the first few chapters of this book, I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

And since everyone on the internet is stupid then this &#8216;web-site&#8217; must be full of lies. Unfortunately the traditional media is full of people who are fearful [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s coming at a cost though, I still haven&#8217;t done all the essays that were set over the winter holiday.

I returned and took some pictures: Apparently the game is a critique Ayn Rand&#8217;s philosophy. I don&#8217;t know Ayn Rand, or her theory of Objectivism. But I gather it has something to do with leaving humans to do [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Friday I went to the London Design Museum, it&#8217;s a fairly small place with only three exhibitions. Nevertheless it was educational and I found some quirky facts like that Braun clocks were always kept at 8 minutes past 10 in promotion photos because that&#8217;s the time the hands look most evenly spread. The exhibitions were on the surface just [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This morning I watched the documentary &#8216;Outfoxed&#8216; by Robert Greenwald. It&#8217;s about how Fox News in the USA is not a fair &#38; balanced media channel, that it&#8217;s full of lies and right-wing propaganda. I didn&#8217;t really need a documentary to tell me this because I knew already but it was insightful nevertheless. Watching this comes [...]]]></description>
