Cowie and I went on holiday to Essaourira at the beginning of September. We couldn't get out of Marrakesh fast enough. Within a day we had escaped the panic inducing heat and feral bustle in search of sun, sand, waves and fish. We're going to take you on a culinary journey of tagines, fresh fish and Moroccan imagination but only once we've set the scene with some photos. The first couple are from the...

We went to the wine cellar of the Pontefract Castle pub near Oxford Street. We didn't come back up for hours and by that time, I was staggering on the platform to get the train home.

UK: Gov't should not engage with 'moderate' Muslims In the bottom article ENGAGE is claiming that Hafeez is a regular British Muslim, while at the same time saying that the gov't should not engage with 'moderates'.
