David Boyle was taught by Christopher Jefferies, whom the tabloids originally made chief suspect in the murder of Joanna Yeates. On The Real Blog he writes: "As the days wore on, and he remained in custody, and the column inches grew, I came believe that those civilised values were under attack, maybe not so much by the police – I don’t know what was going on in their investigation – but by the rest of society, and by my own profession."Caron's Musings feels quite envious of Nick Clegg today.
Britain-Votes looks at the polarisation and regionalisation of British politics: "If it were not for the Coalition, David Cameron would have only one MP in Scotland, and therefore Scots would rightfully question the legitimacy of their policies. Similarly a government featuring Labour would suffer legitimacy issues in England, where the Tories won a majority."
I wrote my Masters dissertation about Richard Jefferies. Nick Barlow at What You Can Get Away With has been reading him too.
Stephen Tall haz cute kittenz pics - that's Mia above.
Talking of photographs, Railway Eye has an extraordinary one of the icicles at the mouth of Willersley Tunnel near Matlock Bath on Christmas Day.
I knew I'd seen Jefferies mentioned somewhere on a blog, but couldn't remember where. Hope my uninformed ramblings about him weren't too bad.
