On National Poetry Day, here’s a short poem about the power of poetry to change the world.
The Power of Poetry
 
with things falling apart
and anarchy let loose,
 
it was only poetry, he found,
which had any use,
 
so he reached for his copy  
of The Complete Works of Yeats
 
and bludgeoned the President
of the United States

Hello, October. You arrived sooner than expected but come in and sit down.

My son works at the local museum in Wigan & was going through some of the comment/feedback cards after a colleague had done a school workshop with 6y olds. One of the questions was what do you like about living in Wigan? Usual replies…rugby team, parks, friends etc. But one read “There is no war” 😔

To be fair, the Pentagon was aware. This was posted hours before the attack was called in. What is strange is that so little action was taken given the security level. Fairford hasn't even restricted its air zone, so the BBC News helicopters showed the positions of their planes. It's a shambles.

It's great to see tailoring accommodate such extreme movement today. This level of tailoring was a bit more common in the past, as you can see in old films featuring Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly, but many modern suits will lift off the wearer's neck even when they're just walking.

I think once black clad men are interfering with rescues at sea, we are past "legitimate concerns". Once they're attacking boats, and risking the lives of everyone on board, it's just thuggery. The Home Secretary's statement is on the side of criminals. There's no other way to read it.
