People have good ideas too
Posted on 23. Aug, 2011 by chiantichiara.
While the dust is settling on Tottenham, Clapham, Hackney, Brixton and the other areas worst hit by the recent riots, the public debate as to how we got to where we are today, and what can be done about it, still rages on. I remember saying to my boyfriend, as we watched the events unfold [...]

They say a week in politics is a long time…
Posted on 15. Jun, 2011 by chiantichiara.
…and the past 48 hours has certainly proved that to be true. Within hours of the Future Forum announcing their recommendations further to the White Paper listening exercise, the Government has accepted the key changes and will make major concessions to the Health Bill. Although apparently not a ‘U-turn’, this is certainly is a major coup. [...]

This sense of disgruntlement at the status quo has permeated this month’s top 20 and for this [...]

Posted on 09. Mar, 2011 by msoadmin.
One evening last week we all stared out of our new office windows at the marvellous sunset over London.

Time to put the boot in
Posted on 29. Oct, 2010 by chiantichiara.
