Charisma. Not rocket science, a dirty word, or a fart at a genteel dinner party. A vessel in which less base ideals can be communicated to the heart. Present at every piece of progress ever made by society. Politics, like all human drama, is laden with theory, but realised in the heart and gut.

Despite stating that I would do anything for love with one important exception, I find ultimately that I would, indeed, do that.

Many claims are made for the power of poetry to change lives. All I can offer on the death of Brian Patten is a simple truth. This poem - sent to me by my not-then-wife - is the reason I am with her 40 years on. RIP Brian. x

I did this. My teacher apologised because I'd been devouring normal books, then was forced to do ITA. Only when I'd finished those books could she let me carry on reading normally. The one thing it left me with was an aversion to ministers using children as guinea pigs for ministerial brain farts.
