It's a very good point you make - and I don't disagree with what you are saying about people having their own opinions; whether they be negative or positive. And too right - if a voter (whether or not they vote UKIP) were to specifically say something racist or discriminating, then we have all right to hate them.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> However, no two UKIP voters are the same. Not all UKIP voters are voting UKIP because of policies relating to immigration... or economic policies. It could be human rights, climate change policy or employment conditions. Whatever it may be, we can't generalise or assume all UKIP voters belong to the same categorical stereotype. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Therefore I think people should be careful before posting their degrading opinions of UKIP voters on Facebook, Twitter, etc., as they may not be wholly valid or called for.

Apple as a company made the money. It was never something that Steve would have put down at an ideas meeting with a blank canvas, i.e. he never said &quot;right, lets make a brand new product that will make us money&quot;. Instead, it was conversations like &quot;right, let&#039;s make a brand and a range of products that we think consumers will love. By building up the brand and making our products the finest in the industry, then we can make money&quot;.

Even so, the only things I see improvements in for the new iPhone is speed, better camera and newer software... But I&#039;m gunna be getting the software anyway, and the speed or camera I don&#039;t really care about! Even so, 18 month contract from now finishes around July 2011, so I can go straight into the new iPhone that will be released then... :) Thu, 4 Feb 2010 17:35:06 +0000 http://blog.alastairmogford.com/2010/02/03/my-rather-bleak-history-of-previous-mobile-phones/#IDComment55352970 http://blog.alastairmogford.com/2009/09/01/turns-out-i-survived-having-swine-flu/#IDComment32931853 Update: Turns out that one of my friends gave the virus onto me when she didn&#039;t know she had it. Oh dear... It&#039;s everywhere!! Wed, 2 Sep 2009 21:38:50 +0000 http://blog.alastairmogford.com/2009/09/01/turns-out-i-survived-having-swine-flu/#IDComment32931853
