http://rhymesandroutes.blogspot.com/2015/07/heathrow-and-sense-of-insecurity.html
He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that." John Stuart Mill. Monday, 13 July 2015. Heathrow and a Sense of Insecurity. What do the posters say? If you find an unattended bag, report it at once"? Of Jihadi terrorists in the UK itching to launch attacks, there is no room for complacency. 13 July 2015 at 12:49. It does make a bit of a nonsense of all the zero tolerance rhetoric from politicians, doesnt it? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Welcome to Rhymes and Routes. A Poem for 7/7.

He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that." John Stuart Mill. Featured Poem (by Geoff). THE BRIGHTER SIDE OF THE SUN. Ginger, our John and the foreman. Stood at the factory gate. Waiting for John’s little brother,. They knew I was always late. I was just an apprentice. And they were working men. Four of us went off to war. And I came home again. Pals we were as nippers. When in the streets we played. As "Pals", we joined the infantry. And pals together stayed. They trained us down at.

Rhymes and Routes: A Poem for 7/7

He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that." John Stuart Mill. Sunday, 5 July 2015. A Poem for 7/7. I have to declare from the outset that I have previously posted this poem below (7th May, 2011). I stood on Alperton Station,. 8220;Uncertain and afraid”. Of sudden, unseen terror –. My train was undelayed. I left the silent platform. To start my working day,. When, on the darkened staircase,. A young girl barred my way. She shimmered like the summer dawn. That garlanded her head.

Rhymes and Routes: Education, Politicians and Conjuring Tricks
http://rhymesandroutes.blogspot.com/2015/02/education-politicians-and-conjuring.html
He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that." John Stuart Mill. Friday, 13 February 2015. Education, Politicians and Conjuring Tricks. Two recent events, which I believe to be nothing more than political sleights of hand, have done nothing to change my view. One is the recent change in school league results, which is, as Richard Garner said in the Independent. A result of changes to the tables which make it harder for schools to obtain top grade passes. Schools which were thought to b...

Rhymes and Routes: August 2015
http://rhymesandroutes.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that." John Stuart Mill. Monday, 3 August 2015. ISIS and the Khmer Rouge - Hooray for "Our Side". A friend of mine recently posted, on Facebook, an article from the Independent by Robert Fisk. The chilling aspect of this is that such compromises have been reached before. As another great journalist, John Pilger, has said. In 1979. I well remember his impassioned film about the sufferings of Cambodia at that time. You can watch it here. Featured A...

Rhymes and Routes: Heysel 30 years on
http://rhymesandroutes.blogspot.com/2015/06/heysel-30-years-on.html
He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that." John Stuart Mill. Wednesday, 3 June 2015. Heysel 30 years on. A few days ago, I heard a documentary on the BBC World Service commemorating the 30th anniversary of the Heysel Stadium disaster. It was something of a shock to realise how much time had elapsed since I'd watched that terrible event on television, but it also brought back some personal memories. And what were moronic sports journalists saying? 3 June 2015 at 06:38. Mick Cooper -...

He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that." John Stuart Mill. Featured Artist - Doctor Feelgood. Steve Wright once said that this song was about doctors who over-prescribe tranquilisers. What it is to be naive. Dr Feelgood, I am happy to say, are still bashing out the blues and serving up the medicine after all these years. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Welcome to Rhymes and Routes.
