The sound of silence
9:22am Sunday 11th May 2008

The Socialist Labour Party vote held up commendably well. However despite the low turnout it was heartening to observe younger people questioning and taking an interest.For those who are not on the voting register or couldn't be bothered to vote I would commend to them the comment of Leonardo da Vinci: "Nothing strengthens authority as much as silence."It cannot possibly be in working people's best interests to be so.Jim DrySocialist Labour Party

The birth plan

Questions, questions, questions
I hate being asked questions. People who stop me in the street for some kind of random survey always get a woeful look as I shuffle away quickly with my head down.
