    What is the point of having an election if the parties, which run on different policy platforms, just form an alliance afterwards? I'm starting to favour the idea of an election, but I suppose the people will just vote the same bunch of rascals back in again and then give them a 5% approval rating a few weeks later.

    I worked in a Japanese company with flexitime and it was very convenient. Of course, the managers were always pressuring us to spend every waking moment at work, but if you could resist them it was OK.

    But I find Japanese companies in general to be totally inflexible when it comes to their, often absurd, rules, hiring practices etc. Yet at the same time they expect ultimate flexibility from their workers, particularly when it comes to the arbitrary posting of workers around the country every few years for no good reason.

    If the fascists don't like what's on TV maybe they should start their own channel showing "traditional Japanese programmes" and see how that fares in the ratings.

    What is a "traditional Japanese programme" anyway? The TV programmes here mainly consist of a room full of screaming half-wits fronted by some bloke shouting a lot. I suppose it's the bloke shouting a lot that appeals to the fascists.

    I don't want to watch such tripe, so I turn the TV off. Problem solved.

    It's people like these rioters that led me to leave the UK all those years ago. It's particularly galling when you are working and paying high taxes to support people who are openly taking advantage of the system; people who aren't prepared to study or work hard; people who think ignorance is a desirable attribute; people who make life a misery for those unfortunate enough to live in the poorer neighbourhoods where they are found.

    No more of my taxes will be used to fund these people. Despite the talk of government "cuts", spending continues to increase every year. In my opinion the "cuts" are nowhere near enough: benefits should be time-limited and only available to those who have paid taxes, single mothers should stay at home with their parents and not be given free housing, if accommodation is provided it should be in hostels with strict rules.

    Alas, it seems the government is unwilling to tackle the source of the problem, which means workers must pay ever higher taxes to support the likes of these rioters.

    The LDP demand changes to the DPJ manifesto.

    If the DPJ changes anything the LDP demands an election on the grounds the DPJ were elected on their manifesto promises.

    If the DPJ doesn't change anything the LDP won't cooperate and will start the vote of confidence / boycott parliament and other time-wasting posturing once again.

    The DPJ should tell the LDP to get stuffed.

    The public cannot think of a suitable prime minister, yet if an election were held tomorrow most of them would probably vote for the same clowns we have now. It's time the Japanese people started electing people who are fit for the job, instead of the useless son of a bribe-taking crook.

    Electric cars hardly seem viable when we are constantly being told to save electricity as there isn't enough to meet demand. Where is the power going to come from?

    I'm sure these three LDP clowns will "express their anger" by driving around with their black-van mates now that they are back in Japan.

    Given that Korea stated in advance that these clowns would not be admitted to the country I'm surprised that they were allowed to board the flight leaving Japan. Perhaps they could be allowed into Korea in future if they first sign a statement acknowledging Korean sovereignty over Dokdo/Takeshima.

    It all goes to show how absolutely pathetic the LDP are.

    If the statute of limitations has expired the police should put their time to better use, e.g. by pursuing organised crime groups. It seems a waste of resources to continue to investigate a crime that can no longer be punished, although I can understand that relatives of the victims would like to find out who the culprit was.

    We aren't buying anything from Fukushima, Miyagi and other nearby areas: the government cannot be trusted and appears to be hopelessly inept when it comes to finding out what is safe and what isn't.

    Yet the supermarket here (Sendai) the other day was full of Fukushima vegetables and it was a challenge to find things from out of the area. It's almost like they are trying to force me to eat their contaminated food. They even mixed "kokusan" beef fat in with the Australian beef, so we couldn't buy that either.

    The Chinese are burying the evidence of the crash and are clearly not interested in finding out what happened. This suggests to me that they know very well what went wrong, that they knew in advance that their technology was faulty, but that they just didn't / don't care, and aren't interested in fixing anything or learning from their mistakes.

    Once the wreckage is buried all mention of the crash will be banned, web sites will be censored and it will be as if it never happened: until the next crash.

    I disagree that the pre-university education in Japan is "one of the hardest in the world": if it's so good why do so many children go to Juku? It is good at turning out young adults who are numerate, literate and able to follow instructions without question: people ideal for factory work. But what Japan needs is creative people who can think for themselves and its education system utterly fails in that regard. These are reasons why my son is now studying overseas: the Japanese education system isn't good enough.

    As for Koizumi: he introduced laws allowing large companies to use part-time workers. Average salaries fell as a result and are still falling. He created a whole underclass of insecure, low wage earners, able to be discarded like trash by big business when they no longer generated sufficient profit. Great for the companies, not so great if you can't find a full time job.

    He so antagonised China and Korea with his continual worship of war criminals that their prime ministers refused to meet with him. Inflexible, pig-headedness are hardly the traits a country needs in its leader.

    He promised to reduce government borrowing below Y30 trillion per year, but failed.

    He promised to privatise the postal service, but failed.

    I can't think of anything positive that Koizumi did for the Japanese people. Yet they elected his acknowledged son despite all of the above. They must see something I don't: maybe they are beguiled by the hair? "That Koizumi has lumbered me with a low paid, menial job, but his hair sticks up so I'll be voting for his son".

    It doesn't matter what any treaty says, the Japanese will never extradite their citizens in child abduction cases. The Supreme Court won't even uphold the Japanese constitution, never mind a minor treaty with another country.

    It wouldn't surprise me if the ATS was turned off, never worked in the first place, or if it was simply a box containing a brick. On paper the technology looks good, but when implemented by shysters looking to make as many Yuan as possible it falls to pieces.

    Some Welsh farms are still banned from selling lamb meat decades after Chernobyl (1500 miles away). Yet the Japanese government claims that Japanese beef is safe just a few months after Fukushima and in regions tens of miles away. Either the Japanese government has no idea what they are talking about, or they wilfully disregarded public safety in order to protect their mates at TEPCO.

    And why isn't TEPCO being forced to buy the inedible agricultural products? Why are our taxes being used instead?

    We aren't buying any Japanese meat, or any products from anywhere near Fukushima. These people simply cannot be trusted. Next it will be mislabelling of Fukushima products. I'm sorry for the farmers, but they should be driving down to TEPCO's offices in Tokyo and dumping their produce on the doorstep and outside the directors' houses, as they do in France. Sitting around moaning won't achieve anything.

    I don't think "high quality service" means selling expensive coffee, even the cheapskate airlines do that. I don't drink coffee anyway, so tough luck JAL.

    Ishihara will carry on regardless: much of the money spent on the bid goes to his family and cronies and he won't want to let them down.

    It's strange that there is no rush to bomb Assad as he continues murdering Syrians at leisure, yet in the case of Libya other countries are chafing at the bit to take sides and do some bombing.

    The only difference between the two is the oil; therefore I agree with Gadhafi that this is all about control of oil resources.

    Mr Galliano may blame his addictions for his predicaments, but the drugs merely loosened his tongue allowing us to discover what he really thinks and what kind of a person he is.

    It uses about 10 MW of power. I imagine they will be turning some of it off soon to save power.
