I have instlled the barcode scanner app and scanned a bar of snickers, a packet of Tangy Toms and a bottle of lucozade.

No success. It scanned the barcodes successfully, but the products were not recognised. Am I doing it wrong? Do I need to pair it with another app?

Well, ladies and Gentlemen, we are ina new era. One where we have a coalition government. and the sky is faaling. Faaaalling.

But thinking back a bit, I remember thinking that the outcome of the elections would not be all that bad no matter who won.

So lets see what the Con Dem alliance can do for us, the citizens.

Well, they might be, who knows.

But one thing I did spot that could be good for Muslims (along with the idea that family is important, which I also agree with) was their pledge on schools.

People in a community can get together and get the government to pay for the formation of new schools.

now,this can be a good thing for Muslims whereif they feel existing schools are not catering to their needs, they can get together in areas with a significant Muslim population and get the government to make new schools that are more suited to their needs.

(I doubt they realised that Muslims could take advantage of this too)

After the bombshell that I voted for a member of the Conservative party, lets just see if I can summarise a few things.

Let me be upfront about something though - the issues I highlight below are issues I probably ignored when casting my vote. I could not overlook that the current incumbent voted for the Iraq war.

Past Record

While David Cameron keeps bleeting on about 13 years of Labour waste, he is simply wrong and relying on people to not remember things from what 1997 was like.

and so far I live to tell the tale.

I voted for the guy because well, he lives around the corner at the end of my street.

No idea what he stands for and he has no hope in hell if even winning, but my mum knows he mum etc etc and so I cast my vote.

(There was also the small matter of the current Labour MP for the area having voted for the Iraq war. I could not vote for him in good conscience.)

Besides, he has no chance in hell of winning, so its not really that it matters either.

Who have you voted for and why?
