Pluralist Speaks: Labour: Stay Clear of EU Referendum
http://pluralistspeaks.blogspot.com/2015/05/labour-stay-clear-of-eu-referendum.html
Sunday, 17 May 2015. Labour: Stay Clear of EU Referendum. I'm not sure if the Labour party is falling apart or not. It is certainly needed to now put up an opposition, along with the SNP, and it needs maximum discipline on attendance to exploit indiscipline in the Conservative Party among its usual subjects and a few others. On this basis, the Labour conundrum of more left wing north and less left wing south may only be solved (minimally, sufficiently? By having Scottish Labour go independent. Labour wil...

Pluralist Speaks: April 2015
http://pluralistspeaks.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, 25 April 2015. Also the trade unionism of Glasgow linked well with that of the North West of England, and the internationalist Labour movement made real inroads into uniting Scotland and England. So suddenly, perhaps not fatally, Labour finds itself under the same sweep as the Tories suffered. Scotland's other collectivist party, the independence party (that otherwise would stretch too far in social economics) can take its place because the result is similar plus national influence. If the wron...

Pluralist Speaks: May 2015
http://pluralistspeaks.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, 24 May 2015. Every indication is that David Cameron is pulling forward a European vote - negotiations are immediate and then a whether to stay or go in a referendum can take place. He knows that there is a small majority, if fluid, to stay in. So it has always been a party gamble. And the one that checked UKIP as taking Conservative votes whereas UKIP did take Labour votes - the argument more about immigration of course. Bad decision (wrong time, wrong decision). The SNP stance - and they could t...

Pluralist Speaks: When a Tradition Dies: Defining My Position
http://pluralistspeaks.blogspot.com/2015/07/when-tradition-dies-defining-my-position.html
Sunday, 12 July 2015. When a Tradition Dies: Defining My Position. We live in interesting times, so the saying goes, and perhaps that is something of a privilege to observe one of those interesting times. The evidence surely shows that the Unitarian tradition as a movement is on its deathbed. We are turning into curators, with so few that visit its museum. And everyone recited the creed the following Sunday. Well, all religious language is borrowed from the past: Unitarians are constantly saying thin...

Pluralist Speaks: March 2015
http://pluralistspeaks.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, 15 March 2015. It is obvious that I am not posting to this blog as I have done in the past. Rather than close it, however, I'm letting it continue in its rather sleepy condition. I wonder why there needs to be one for church planting. I can think of two reasons. The first is to get a grip over congregational empire builders, especially at a time when GAFCON or its successor may be busy with entryism and creating a Church within a Church that can become the Anglican Church of Northern Europe (say)...

Pluralist Speaks: February 2015
http://pluralistspeaks.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 4 February 2015. The website continues to add new content. I don't mind copying things if they are sufficiently obscure and helpful. There is a particularly well laid out argument and evidence. A less sociological piece is incredibly silly, but it shows what happens when you take sociological outcomes and mistake them for natural characteristics. And this is in the Localities area.

Pluralist Speaks: July 2015
http://pluralistspeaks.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 29 July 2015. Redoing the London Rapid Transit Map. I've always been interested in maps, and even as a child I would take a map of the area south east of Peterborough and north of the A141 and draw, and quite well even if I say so, a map of a city I called Fenton. These days I'd need strong bifocals to produce what I did then. Who apparently resides in Hong Kong. The bottle shape of the original circle line, with the Metropolitan line above and the District line below he has tilted, which ...

Pluralist Speaks: November 2014
http://pluralistspeaks.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 26 November 2014. If you don't want to read my effort at a magazine. Read my latest poems:. My throat did burn. With phlegm and roar. As I went down. To breath fresh air. And ions the key). And get all fresh. But then with towel. It was like a breeze -. I began to shudder. And I started to freeze. And before I knew it,. With a pain in my head,. I keeled over plainly. And then I was dead. And yet as if. To continue for more,. It's odd what happens. The tides they do remove the dead:. And off we...

Pluralist Speaks: Jeremy Corbyn as Labour Favourite to Win
http://pluralistspeaks.blogspot.com/2015/07/jeremy-corbyn-as-labour-favourite-to-win.html
Wednesday, 15 July 2015. Jeremy Corbyn as Labour Favourite to Win. It is said that Corbyn is in the lead, including second preference votes. Whether this is so, or not, we shall see. But it is possible. The notion of 'anyone join to vote, let's moderate the electorate beyond the party' seems to have backfired. With Corbyn we might even renationalise the railways. Whoopee! And there will be a reassignment of spending priorities, helping those who need it the most, and returning to society. The Liberal Dem...
