In himself, Jeremy Clarkson is nothing: a brief loud noise and a brief bad smell. The arse that emitted him, as I said yesterday, is Rupert Murdoch.

Remember, that Jeremy Clarkson article was not a slip of the tongue or a tweet written in a moment of madness. It was an article written, read and re-read. It was seen by multiple editors and copywriters. All of whom must have thought, “this is okay.” This is a *media* problem.

Imagine saying something so misogynist that even your own daughter publicly condemns you. It's clear Clarkson doesn't care what anyone thinks of him as long as he's still invited to the Queen’s private parties. independent.co.uk/life-style/roy…

I also contributed to this excellent book, put together by Sharon Mallon PhD and Jo Smith - although aimed at FE and HE settings, it would be really useful for teachers of all ages

#Death is something we all need to face, not only our own but the deaths of those around us. However, many of us are unprepared for this event; this new article from The The Open University asks, 'what should I expect when I am nearing the end of my life?' open.edu/openlearn/heal…

At times a mental health diagnosis is useful but at others it is self limiting. We are all on a spectrum of understanding ourselves, our world and other people, and putting ourselves, or others, in a box tends to close down enquiry to the detriment of learning to cope or recover.
