Large groups of under-18s hanging around, trying and failing to get into pubs, choosing to freeze with their friends in the street in mid-winter rather than go home after McDonald’s has closed – this is a typical sight in Hastings, and many other towns and cities across the UK, on any given Friday night.

A Child Picking Up Pebbles
Graham Clark
Friday 30 Mar 2012
You must not talk about 'ain't and can't' when you speak of this great wonderful world round you, of which the wisest man knows only the very smallest corner, and is, as the great Sir Isaac Newton said, only a child picking up pebbles on the shore of a boundless ocean. — Charles Kingsley, The Water-babies (1863).

God is in your Typewriter

As I rode the underground this morning, ‘i-podded’ and head buried in my book, cocooning myself in a blanket of media with which to blot out the world around me, I stumbled across a poem.
