Well it's all happening

Well, if you are remotely interested in current affairs then this week is definately the week to keep going back to BBC News

As part of the AS Sociology course we look at how the news is constructed and the types of decisions that newspaper editors and journalists take and one can only wonder about how they are going to juggle this week.

In the UK it appears the date of the general election is likely to be announced tomorrow (although we have effectively been in an election campaign for a few weeks now), Prince Charles has had to put his wedding back a day (it clashed with the Popes funeral) and then there is the funeral of His Holiness.

As you can tell the anorak part of me is finding this all quite exciting.

Also in terms of things to consider when working out who to vote for I have found a really useful resource on the Baptist Union site. It seems to be an ecumenically produced set of briefing papers with some useful information and links on a number of the main issues.
