Happy Friday! I’m very happy today because I took a day off work to sort out the flat and a Christmas tree and have coffee with a friend. Here are this week’s links..
1) Suzanne Moore on how to be a good mother. Lovely and very true and thanks Ma for telling me to read it!
2) What a Ten-Month-Old really wants for Christmas (this came via Kate)
3) Those born after 1960 probably won’t be better off than there parents. Unless of course there’s inherited wealth. Well, that’s a statement of the obvious. I’ve long thought that my old age will resemble that of my great-grandparents (the ones that made it to retirement!) and yes this is the world that Thatcher made…
4) Mince Pie Manhattan anyone? Well it’s festive…
5) Are we asking the wrong question about Wonga loans?
6) Saving Mary Poppins. I read all the Mary Poppins books when I was at primary school, I get them from the library and I loved them and this nails why I didn’t like the idea of ‘Saving Mr Banks’ even if it does have Emma Thompson in it!
7) Well that just sums up all that’s wrong with the Govt. Laughing at desperation…it’s still the Nasty Party..
9) This is horrifying and that it happened in the US doesn’t mean that it couldn’t have happened here. The Exoneration of Kash Register and the Problem of False Eyewitness Testimony.
