		<description><![CDATA[2011 was a year when just about everything imaginable happened. I was left worrying that this year would be no different, but actually, its been much quieter. Its not that bad stuff hasn’t happened, its just that many things haven’t been repeated. In fact, its hard to remember some of what was happening this time [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=grahamsgrumbles.wordpress.com&amp;blog=823499&amp;post=941&amp;subd=grahamsgrumbles&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The unfolding saga of SOPA/PIPA is pretty unmissable. Sure enough, right when I thought I would be fine, I found myself needing to check something on Wikipedia on the day of the Blackout. I disagree with the proposed laws for a number of reasons, but I have to say I find some of the companies [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=grahamsgrumbles.wordpress.com&amp;blog=823499&amp;post=935&amp;subd=grahamsgrumbles&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Being in my mid-twenties, its unsurprising that some of my peers are having kids. But quite a large number aren’t, and a sizeable chunk of my female friends are very fervently “not having kids”. Its a huge change in one’s life, and so perhaps its not surprising how quickly it becomes a divisive issue.

		<description><![CDATA[I find the undertones of Cameron’s speech on Christianity quite disturbing. Whilst some have read it in a very favourable light, a look at the manipulation of American Evangelicalism by Karl Rove and other Republican Party Grandees should show just how dangerous this speech is. At a time when Bishops and other church leaders are [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=grahamsgrumbles.wordpress.com&amp;blog=823499&amp;post=927&amp;subd=grahamsgrumbles&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Its perhaps natural that the names “Bradley Manning” and “Julian Assange” are often written together on banners and in agit-prop. They are, after all, both names associated with Wikileaks, and are both wanted in America for punishment over the release of cables relating to America’s conduct of war. But that’s probably where the similarities stop.

There are plenty of things the Church needs to hear, reflect on and respond to, particularly from its own members and especially if it is to regain credibility as a place where people’s hurts are healed.

		<description><![CDATA[Today’s revelations about the state of Britain’s housing make for grim reading, but tucked away behind a lot of the reporting is a fundamentally flawed attitude towards housing ownership as one of life’s ultimate aims. It may not be a stretch of the imagination to name it as a contributing factor to our current crisis.
