So Nick Clegg came to our school the other day to answer questions about the cuts and stuff. For people outside the UK, Nick Clegg is deputy prime minister and MP of my area. I'm not really a driven political type but even I could see that he evaded a hell of a lot of questions. There was much, shall we call it heated, debate. It was quite exciting to be able to applaud after someone called him 'a lackie of David Cameron without the strength of character to stand up for what he believes in'. OOOHHHHHHHH.
There was a lot of anger and frustation, on both sides it seems. One of my favourite moments was when Cameron said "I'm being chipper with you now, because you're being chipper with me." I am not 100% sure what chipper means but it still made me chuckle. Without a doubt, my favourite moment was when, in relation to the cuts, Clegg said "I'm sorry, but I'm not going to apologise." Politicians sometimes struggle to make sense don't they? Clegg was coming across so badly that our headteacher cut the Q&A because people were getting pretty angry.
On a lighter note, I died my hair on Friday - with the help of a meticulous Gilly and a highlighter brush, and without the help of an allergic-to-henna Amy, who instead sat on the utility step and kept us company via the medium of talking. I spent the rest of the evening with my head wrapped in clingfilm, which as you can imagine is the most attractive look a girl can go for. The problem with using clingfilm as a hair accessory as opposed as an implement for aiding packed lunches is that it was made for the latter, and no matter how much clingfilm you wrap around your henna-covered hair, it just doesn't stay on very easily :(
God bless :)
Love, Anna
