The Megaphone : A Debate Blog

So it has been a while since my last post. The break has done me some good. I was starting to feel like this blog was taking over my life. In conversations with people instead of chatting away I was thinking ooooh I could blog about that and not paying attention. So anyway, I felt like I needed a break to get the blog/life balance back on track. This T-shit sums up how I was feeling.

So anyway, onto business. You must have seen all the Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall Chicken Run programme, or seen him on the news or whatever. He is also getting Senior Oliver involved, which pretty much means it is going to become the biggest thing on the political agenda before too long.

So what did you guys think? Do battery chickens have a good enough life, or is it free range all the way for you? Maybe battery chickens lives could be improved a little bit and then they would still be cheap, but not abused.

I have always bought free range eggs, I have now vowed never to get another battery chicken. It is no life for a chicken. I think if you can’t afford to buy a normal (free range) chicken that has lived a normal life that every chicken should have the right to live, then maybe that should mean you can’t afford to buy a chicken full stop. This is just my opinion - What are your thoughts?

Unbelievably the FA have sacked Steve McClaren. It’s not his fault. I mean he picks the best players on offer and then says try and score more goals than you let in, what more can a manager do? England are obsessed with sacking the manager.

So anyway who do you think will replace him? Will it be the legend that is Jose Mourinho, I heard mutterings of Ian Wright earlier… that would be great, stop him from making all those freakin’ TV ads.

So the legal age for buying cigarettes has now been raised from 16 to 18 in the UK.

I feel sorry for the poor people who started smoking (legally) at 16, they’re now addicted. Now they’re like 17 and can’t buy cigarettes any more, what are they going to do… is Gordon Brown going to give them prescription cigarettes or something? They don’t make heroin addicts go cold turkey… this is just mean.

What do you guys think of this?
