"If you ever start feeling like you have the goofiest, craziest, most dysfunctional family in the world, all you have to do is go to a state fair. Because five minutes at the fair, you'll be going, 'you know, we're alright. We are dang near royalty.'"

As you may or may not be able to tell, I am slowly but surely producing a collection of family portraits. I am using my eccentric and sometimes dysfunctional family as the subject for my first attempt at a final year exhibition for my course. I am keeping them all black & white and will have my final selection printed out on a large format. With a bit of luck my fellow photographic colleagues and...

Picture is from today’s West Ham Labour Party stall in Green Street, E7. Our local MP Lyn Brown (left of pic) is shown with local Party activists. We were handing out leaflets about the introduction of free school meals for all Newham Primary school children.

John Darnielle is a writer and storyteller without compare. He’s prolific, having been making tapes since the early 90’s, and among his favorite topics are metal, dysfunctional families, and growing up. He performs his songs with such attention to mood and delivery that sometimes I wonder if he’s more of a poet than a musician. [...]

Maggie writes : "I am always struck by how unempirical the left is." Very true. And how sad that it should be Derb, of all people, who has to be reminded of this. The notion that abortion is pro-family because it reduces single motherhood is hard to reconcile with the fact that demographic groups with the highest rates of abortion such as the African-American community also have the highest...

In the aftermath of the revelations about Baby P's death, one group of people took the brunt of public scorn: the social workers who had, tragically, decided not to remove the baby from his violent and dysfunctional family. In the months that followed, it became clear that morale in the profession had taken a hit, with many councils finding it difficult to fill vacancies in the vital areas of child...

Bit by bit, I’ve been catching up with episodes of Lewis that I’ve missed, and the latest is The Point of Vanishing, first shown in April. It’s written by Paul Rutman, who is responsible for the screenplay for the forthcoming Ann Cleeves television drama featuring Vera Stanhope. I gather that Rutman actually lives in Oxford, so he is ideally placed to be able to create the ‘feel’...

There are many reasons why young religious Jews go ‘Off the Derech’ - OTD. The reason most often thought to be responsible for that is a very negative emotional experience- often ongoing - with the religious community. This can involve living in a dysfunctional family or being sexually molested by a religious Jew. I think that’s right. Most people who go OTD do so because of bad experiences...

I've written before here about the impact that Sue Townsend's comic Adrian Mole novels have had on my life since I was a young teenager, so it'll come as no surprise to learn that I was completely delighted by the latest volume, Adrian Mole: the Prostrate Years, which is sweeter, darker, more sentimental and more grim than the earlier installments. For the uninitiated, the Adrian Mole books chronicle...
