Back To Life

After a hazy couple of days in bed, yesterday saw me get straight back up to speed. Eight hours in the car, three interviews, one Bishop- a good day. Bristol was lovely and I think finds itself in the lead again. The weather both times I've been recently has been great, with amazing views over the Severn Estuary. I'm sure it helps in deciding where you want to be.

The offset was an amazing set of thoughts on justice from the Bishop of Durham- the guy is so so articulate and clever. He's just a legend! Maybe I'll just let him be my boss in a few years!!!

I might write up a summary of his thoughts in the not too dim and distant!

Got home to find my diocesan sponsoring papers.. dead encouraging!

And now I'm back in school. But thats for another post.

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
