Passing on bits of wisdom, comment and frippery. Skip to primary content. Labour Leadership – how does it feel? August 13, 2015. All those tedious meetings with wetsock councillors, local activists, and associated crackpots. All those blancmange judgings. All those requests for help cheerfully passed onto the relative who works in your office to send a pat response, with occasionally, getting some that need some attention, a hidden gem of an EXAMPLE to fight for, a Cause to Back. It’s MY time, I&#8...

Passing on bits of wisdom, comment and frippery. Skip to primary content. On the point of politics. May 15, 2015. The Labour party will be electing new leadership over the coming few months. So far, a number of prominent Labour Westminster MPs have thrown their name in the ring, and there’s a lot of guff in the media and blogosphere about why Labour didn’t win, and who they need in charge to win next time. For the majority of politicians of our major parties, Con, LIb, Lab, the problem is. In life, I try...

So for a few months you get your head down, get things done, teach your children. And around you events unfold, things take shape in the mists, patterns emerge, and (as ever) if only for the sake of my own sanity, but also for the sake of sharing, I can’t keep things to myself any more. And then there’s the economics. And loading indiv...

The wonderful @julijuxtaposed told me to write a blog piece (about something else); but it got me thinking. You may have gathered from previous blogs that my pieces tend to be quickly drafted comment pieces rather than being particularly detailed and carefully written. The latest TNS-BMRB poll shows 18-24yr olds give Labour a lead of 23%, with Greens at 14%.

We created a monster | Folk Sermons

Passing on bits of wisdom, comment and frippery. Skip to primary content. We created a monster. April 11, 2014. We created a monster. We grew it from seed, we gave it confidence and status. It grew, in size and strength, and for a while it seemed to love us and nurture us. It’s still there. Alert the police and the government, but they won’t answer, for they have been enslaved too. There you go, a dramatic kick off that’ll hopefully keep you reading the rest of this, or at least a bit further. Over time,...

Passing on bits of wisdom, comment and frippery. Skip to primary content. Time to quit the debating society and get some proper work done. August 14, 2015. In recent years, the folk at the Houses of Parliament have gone some way to civilising the process. They changed the hours of working, and substantially cut down on the night shifts and so on. And this suits the politicians on both sides – these folk were always the ones to be in the debating society, to take an argument and try and outwit their...
