Parkour

Anyone watch Jump Britain last night?

I love this stuff- don't ever let me try it (would blatantly be terrible at it). There is just something so beautiful about this thing that requires no equipment, that is very physical (in terms of strength), and yet very rhythmic at the same time.

I love the thing that these guys were so supportive of each other- there was no putting people down, just encouragement. And its really creative.. like proper creative.

Beautiful..

Your vocabulary aged 5 is half what it is for a rich kid if you are in the bottom ten percent of income. Housing tenure stats are even worse. "Only 4 per cent of those of working age living in social housing have degrees, and nearly half have no or only low qualifications. Only half of men and 42 per cent of women of working age living in social housing are in paid work, compared with 89 per cent of men and 81 per cent of women in households with a mortgage." Social housing: by its nature, is grouped (london people ignore this, you are the freaks not the norm). That means that we have allowed ghettoes of poverty and low attainment (not just in a SATS way either). Now it would be easy, and some daft Tory has already done it, to pin this on
