Things I want to blog about..

I want to blog about

The politicisation of the military: how its going to get worse before the election and how when its happened in the past its not been good for anyone.

About the debate about the Catholic church where an Archbishop got whopped. I want to comment that if you want to debate about the church being a force for good then you shouldn't invited people from the top of the institution. Institution is rarely a force for good but people who, in spite of that, are faithful and follow the example of Christ probably are.

About how life feels like its changed and I feel like I am uncontrollably losing touch with people: and how I don't quite know how to get that back and whether its my fault or I should expect more grace from friends.

About how I am preferring X Factor to Strictly this year.

About how I really want to recruit a team to this place: about how I feel God is up to something.

I would so love to say more but I have to do reading for my MA course which starts on Saturday (I am a dufus for doing it but hey!).

That's well exciting about building a team. very exciting. Where are you beginning?

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

A Broadside: *plot spoiler* for Tory sympathisers

Today some alarming social equality data was released. It said what we all know: if you are poor, you have less opportunities in life. For every £100 a month less income than the median you start school one month behind developmentally. 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
