Capture: Two Tales of a City, in reply to Hebe,
Cake stall cake? Good one
It was a good one! Love and care and skill obvious. :-)
The Steiner Fair is always great. -
Capture: Two Tales of a City, in reply to Gudrun Gisela,
To say the Tai Chi festival lacked something would be unkind but somehow there were components i looked for that were not happening.
As in any field, the tai chi community has its own politics. There are disagreements and not all see eye-to-eye with the organisers.

Lilith: You were at the fair too? I shall pass on the carrot cake compliment! Tai chi fest?
Was at neither this year actually. Flatmate brought home the cake. :-)

Yes, thanks Hebe. I don't understand why it was taken off YouTube, but I'm glad it's still on the web. :-)

Shirley Boys video their protest against the proposed merger with CBHS. Love their style. :-)

Hard News: Media3: Whistleblower Season, in reply to Steve Barnes,
I don’t know how you can be so certain that they didn’t know as to be able to SHOUT about it. Much as you would like to believe otherwise it was tolerated and denied. I spent the first 30 odd years of my life in that society and find it rather odd that people that have had little or no experience of British society in the 60s and 70s are telling me that I don’t know what I am talking about.
My heart goes out to anyone who's survived abuse, and particularly if their complaints have not been heard. But denial or disbelief is not the same as acceptance that abuse is OK. I cannot believe that people of the 60s and the 70s are so different from people now that they were happy for their children to be abused. What parent, what adult, could possibly be OK with that?

Hard News: Media3: Whistleblower Season, in reply to Steve Barnes,
If you are going to condemn someone for doing what society tolerated back then then you also have to condemn that society.
Society didn't tolerate it, THEY DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS HAPPENING. Perhaps people should have twigged. If anybody DID know, they are guilty of concealing a horrible crime.
CHILD RAPE WAS NOT ACCEPTED IN THE 1970s. And if people are now making a fuss about it, GOOD.
If decrying child rape is moral panic, then I'm all for it. -
Steve, child rape was also illegal in the 1970s when Savile started offending. And I'm pretty bloody sure that a poll of public feeling about child abuse in the 1970s would also find it pretty bloody repugnant.
Vegetables?? You must be taking the piss.
