Divinely Inspired. Top Story - July 2024.
As I awoke this morning, the day started off as it usually does, with the input of healthy things into my body, and a morning run. As I was running, the intensity of the feeling of Rage began to fill me, and the cause of this rage, was based around the concept of corruption, which was begat by the daily displays of complacency and ignorance I tend to see.

Observations On Labour's Victory. Top Story - July 2024.
Introduction In the UK on election day we finally saw the decimation of a party that has destroyed the infrastructure of this country, used the taxpayer to line its pockets, continually attacked and bullied the sick, the poor, and ethnic nationalities, promoted xenophobia, and hopefully, the Labour Party can start to repair the absolute mess left by the right-wing incompetent criminals also know as the conservatives (with the accent on CON) and the tories.

Here Is What Happened When I Quit Drinking Four Years Ago. Top Story - July 2024.
“Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.” ― Carl Bard The other day, there was a party here at the school. Everyone was drinking, and I and a few girls were playing pool. The game was taking forever since we were all pretty bad.

Dialogue Poetry Challenge Winners
Hannah Moore is a first-time grand prize winner with her dialogue poem, On Receipt of Bad News. This was a poem that genuinely engaged both with the exchange of our prompt, but also focussed on the way poetic rhythms of language could support the writer's conceit. It felt very truthful, too, the way one speaker wishes to ignore the news and focus on practicalities; there was a quiet heartbreak, here. Well done.

The Price I Pay by Billy Bragg. Top Story - July 2024.
The lovely lady I write about introduced me to Billy Bragg's music, and although his songs are usually very political (to which I am not). I am here to talk about his softer side, his album for lovers and romantics...well one song in particular and that is The Price I Pay from his 1988 (yes the year I was born) album Workers Playtime.
