He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that." John Stuart Mill. Friday, 24 July 2015. Anti-Abortion Violence - is it Christian Terrorism? Looking through my Amnesty International traffic the other day, I noticed a report that anti-abortion campaigners had forced the closure of an abortion clinic in the UK for the first time. When I tried to find the name of the clinic mentioned, I found that the British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS). It was announced on the. Besides these murders,...

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 Reflection on the Election

http://rhymesandroutes.blogspot.com/2015/05/a-reflection-on-election.html

He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that." John Stuart Mill. Saturday, 9 May 2015. A Reflection on the Election. But - more of that later. So much has been said and sung about the Election that it is difficult to find anything original to say, but I still think there are areas worthy of comment. That makes very good sense.

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...
