		<description><![CDATA[I’m often aware of the tension that exists between my passion for justice for the Palestinians, as such, a national grouping, and my disgust at anything to do with National Pride. I find the copious numbers of England flags that appear during major football competitions mildly disturbing, an affront to my Internationalist, anti-statist leanings, and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=grahamsgrumbles.wordpress.com&blog=823499&post=644&subd=grahamsgrumbles&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Saturday I took part in a stall and vigil protesting at the incarceration of York Soldier Lance Corporal Joe Glenton. It was an intense affair, with media interest normally not shown to a mere anti-war stall, hundreds signing petitions and some very heated exchanges. The struggle to end the Afghanistan War is no longer [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=grahamsgrumbles.wordpress.com&blog=823499&post=643&subd=grahamsgrumbles&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Curious to discover why such a thing might happen, I read an article on the censorship of Enid Blyton by the BBC. It was rather amusing to note the short sightedness of the controllers of the airwaves and their own personal opinions on the author. I did wonder why this was news. Its hardly current [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=grahamsgrumbles.wordpress.com&blog=823499&post=642&subd=grahamsgrumbles&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was visiting my Sister’s church in Durham today, St Nicks, also know as the church on the market place, and had a really great time. The sermon looked at the part of the Prodigal Son story after the bit everyone knows, the part where the eldest son refuses to join the party. The preacher [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=grahamsgrumbles.wordpress.com&blog=823499&post=641&subd=grahamsgrumbles&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had an unfortunate encounter with a member of the Freedom Society very recently, and was genuinely shocked by some of the arguments being made. Despite the noblest of intentions in the title, I find everything about them absolutely infuriating, and here are just some of the reasons…
 
There was once a society at University [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=grahamsgrumbles.wordpress.com&blog=823499&post=640&subd=grahamsgrumbles&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Of all the most personal issues that get kicked around as a political football, abortion is probably the most distasteful and most distressing. Any and every debate seems a million miles divorced of the realities that often underlie the decision to seek an abortion, which in our divided world can make one case almost entirely [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=grahamsgrumbles.wordpress.com&blog=823499&post=638&subd=grahamsgrumbles&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I thought maybe I’d try writing this despite how taboo criticism of wearing poppies has become in recent years. That our way of remembering the tragedy of death in war should be so totally controlled by one organisation is something we should be concerned about; memories are personal, but also disputable, and the singular, and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=grahamsgrumbles.wordpress.com&blog=823499&post=637&subd=grahamsgrumbles&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
