One of Tony Blair’s ministers was among a group of men suspected of sexually abusing children at a home run by a convicted paedophile.

But the probe was halted soon after an ex-social services boss told police of his alleged evening visits in the early 1980s.

Official documents seen by the Daily Mirror during a 16-month investigation reveal former residents told detectives that a group of paedophiles attacked children in a private flat in the home.

But two former Lambeth social services employees involved in the case suspect a cover-up because experienced detective Clive Driscoll was removed from the investigation and given other duties.

Stack the bricks
sound the alarm
push away the
fear of losing self
resist the longing
to just let go
to surrender
simply to be
with no expectations
no shoulds
Be
happy sad
and anything
else that
just is
Be
just Be

Casablanca: I’m shocked! Shocked!

Flashback! 1942 Hollywood, Casablanca the movie the Germans angered over having been overridden by the French populace of Casablanca is singing the French National Anthem as opposed to the Germans singing their own anthem have ordered the Prefect of Police to close down Rick’s (Bogey’s) Americian Café. The Prefect played to the hilt by that great British actor Claude Rains tells Rick he is closing him down because “I’m shocked! Shocked! There’s gambling going on in your café! Shocked!” Just before the croupier hands him his nightly winnings.

Flash forward to 2014 Nevada Clark County and listen to that wondrous darling touted loudly, lovingly and long by Faux News and the deep right wing of politics including the erstwhile up and coming presidential hopeful Rand Paul. Amid cries of Patriot, Hero and wronged American icon comes the man himself to spill his guts not on the many wrongs visited…

The Porch

three chairs Sometimes,

I just need

To sit

Out on

The porch

With my legs

Up on

The railing,

And allow

The sunshine

To work

Its magic.

Sure,

I might look

A bit odd

Out here

Right now

In my robe

And slippers,

But I do

Feel comfortable!

Being cooped up

In the house

All day

With the flu

Is not

My idea

Of fun.

The porch,

However,

Is a part

Of the house

That I truly

Associate

With happiness.

How may times,

Has this porch

Played host

To the

Most romantic

Moments

Of my life?

This porch

Always set

The perfect mood.

I’d wait

Out here

For love

To arrive.

She’d run

Up here

To greet me

With a hug

And kisses.

We’d sit

Out here

Holding hands,

Drinking wine,

Stealing glances,

Unwinding together

After another

Long day.

She might be

Far away,

But her love

Still lingers

Out on
