So the long awaited and highly debated spending review finally took place. I was asked by Scope if I would mind watching the coverage, write some tweets and have them fed into their website.

The meaning of life :-p
For a rare occasion I am not going to waffle or give lots of detail of my recent activities. Mainly because I learnt after a blog many moons ago that as open as I am, some people like their news kept private. Quite right too. So in the realms of some privacy for the individual… Continue Reading
