Fair Isle Knitwear Pattern Work

Fair Isle is a windswept island half way between the Shetlands and the Orkneys. It has given its name to a particular style and range of pattern design knit that is unique to the island. Although many of the patterns did not originate on the island itself, and could well have come from a number of different areas of Europe, particularly parts of Scandinavia in which Fair Isle and the Shetlands share...

Devolution Matters

I've just come across a new blog by Alan Trench called Alan certainly seems well qualified to blog on this subject. Here is how he describes himself: I am an academic, associated with the University of Edinburgh and the Constitution Unit at University College London. I am also a solicitor admitted in England and Wales, now non-practising. My work on devolution has concentrated on intergovernmental...

The Sunday Mail reports that Jeremy Irons is going to star in The End Time , a film about St. Columba , the Irish monk who brought Christianity to Scotland in the 6th century. The film will be directed by Norman Stone, whose credits include the original C.S. Lewis biopic Shadowlands (1985). Regarding his new film's main character, Stone says: "He was not a saintly saint and this film will be...

Txtrage

The Daily Mail is angry and this time it's not immigrants, youth gangs or single mothers who are to blame, but the evil empire that is the exam board AQA and its decision to put text messaging on the curriculum. Have a look at this article to get an idea of what it's all about. But also have a read of some of these really sensible and funny comments from readers (possibly not your average Daily Mail...

News from Scotland

News reaches me of Charlton interest in an 18 year old Livingston forward as well as the sorry departure of national team boss, George Burley. First the Charlton interest. The Scottish Mail on Sunday ran a story about live-wire attacker Andrew Halliday. The youngster has a host of English clubs chasing him for signature in January but apparently the only concrete offer so far has come from the Addicks....

Nazi thugs booted out of Scotland after Glasgow gathering

The Scottish Defence League in, er, action A rabble of English neo-Nazi thugs were driven out of Scotland yesterday after failing in their bid to stoke race hatred Hundreds of police hemmed in the pack of racists and BNP thugs - calling themselves the Scottish Defence League - as they gathered at a pub in the centre of Glasgow. The drunken mob left the Cambridge bar on Cambridge Street and moved to...

16th November - Today's News

Kicking off with a round-up of reports from the stormy weather that affected mostly just the very southern parts of the UK over the weekend. There were 2 reports of tornadoes, both from East Anglia: Mini tornado hits Lowestoft and 60 houses damaged as tornado hits Benfleet - the latter was actually filmed by a UKweatherworld forum member and can be see on youtube here . There's also excellent discussion,...

herbal tip of the day

So Mr. Attitude had a little meltdown yesterday morning. Actually I should say Mr. Attitude and I, because when all was said and done I was worn out and feeling like the most incompetent parent ever. It began over his tendency to be overly dramatic when he is losing at a video game. I reminded him to keep his voice down. He argued that I never yell at Calvin when Calvin overreacts to video games. Right...

A Bad Bad Night for the SNP

Glasgow North East was a dreadful result for the SNP and a pretty good one for Labour. Cast your minds back to last May when Michael Martin announced his resignation and ask yourself if there would have been a single person in Scotland predicting Labour would out poll the SNP by 3 to 1 in this by-election? Cast your minds back further to July 2008 when the SNP won in the neighbouring, and near identical...

Congratulations to Willie Bain - now to create momentum

By Alex Smith / @alexsmith1982 Congratulations to Wille Bain , Labour's new MP for Glasgow North East. As with defeat, there are important lessons to be learned from victories - and this was an expected, though reassuring, success. Labour devised and stuck to a strong strategy in Glasgow. With a local candidate and a lively grassroots campaign, it played to Willie Bain's strengths - and the party's....

Immigration debate: Gordon Brown arrives late and offers little

In his public utterances Brown has neglected immigration until the point where the BNP is seriously touted to come third in today's Glasgow North East byelection Late as ever, Gordon Brown arrives at the debate on immigration, which has been struggling to get sensible attention for some time. The prime minister's speech today was prefigured by an interview with the Daily Mail, whose editor, Arise-Sir-Paul...

Half guilty not innocent

Anybody who reads this blog on a regular basis will know that I have a strong interest in civil liberties issues and that for this reason I have opposed ID cards from the start. I have also had huge concerns about the retention of the DNA records of innocent people. It is a interest shared by Cardiff Central Liberal Democrat MP, Jenny Willott, who has proved to be a tenacious and principled campaigner...

Proceeds of Crime Act Powers to be Widened to Councils, Quangos and Others

Royal Courts of Justice Strangely there is little media cover of this subject. Remember last year when Poole Borough Council was found to be conducting surveillance on families merely to see if they were living in the right school catchment areas for their children? Such behaviour from councils could well become far worse from this week for those living in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. I can...
