I've come to a belated conclusion that long rambling blogs and me are not perfect partners or 'bezzies'. As such I'm going to do more frequent mini-blogs about whatever I happen to feel like writing about at the time.
Today I was saddened and appalled by this news story...

It was brought to my attention by Avaaz, and while I don't like to promote any old organisation, this one is brilliant. Have a look at their website ( http://www.avaaz.org/en/ ) and see for yourself, but I trust them and have supported nearly all of their campaigns. Please consider support - which need not be financial - as the group is based on volumes of people making their voices heard.
I was considering using the video in conjunction with the poem "Not My Business" from the AQA anthology and would appreciate any ideas about how to link the two things together (other than the obvious thematic link). short lesson plans anyone? 50 word limit?
