Just having my usual leftie night of guilt and (given my poor health) despair of our world. And the highly connected people who can just ruin people’s lives. So strangely get drawn (for some reason) to injustice. This song always does it for me. It’s another extraordinarily…
Not sure why but sometimes images just get me. Normally move on but as I'm ill in my bed I dwell. But Joni Mitchell backstage at a festival just seems to capture her creativity and brilliance. And as a writer, I simply don't know why. It just does! And it's Gray ... not Blue! x
A new government document on primary school children's writing and - big surprise - not a single writer for children on the panel. Quick question: how many thousands of hours of writing workshops have children's writers done with children in the last 5 yrs?
Having been having some - shall we say - "exchanges" with right wing fuckwits on the impending resident doctors' strike (a disgrace... they're on £43k a year). I suggest they just want £17 an hour to become £21). I got blocked. That's the way to argue your case. Badge of honour?
Charlotte is so impressive. She called The Bar Standards Board as “unfit for purpose” after a tribunal over-ruled a case against her brought by them. Result? The BSB Chair is now in a better paid public job. How fab that Charlotte's book and media profile has soared since! Hope!

Today in 1984, Arthur Scargill tells Neil Kinnock: “You have only one lesson to learn from Mrs Thatcher - when you do become the Government of the day show us the same loyalty to our class that she has shown to their class.” Good job we've got Starmer now: Toolmakers rejoice!
This is what state awards should be for ... merit (and not just doing your well paid job or for your connections or for your donations) ...and in France no mention of their Empire ... The "imperial" part of the title was dropped ...

clearly shit rises to the top ...
