So I've Been Thinking....

I've been thinking lots of things really. I drove up from Bristol to Luton and had a bit of car thinking time.

It got me thinking about having had a bit of a rubbish Lent: you know its supposed to be a time of discipline and reflection and I feel like I have done very little of either. I am kind of craving the space and the discipline now: but the next seven, heck the next twelve weeks are kind of mental...

So I resolve: I want to find something to reflect on each day over the next twelve weeks. And I will note them here: maybe not on the exact day (I have some potentially tricky days for that), but soon after.

So there we go. Watch this space.

What do I enjoy doing? What gives me joy? Leave me a comment.

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
