Detail of the manuscript of the. Several accounts of the events of 1066 that were written within living memory survive as do a number of twelfth and thirteenth century histories. However, none provides a clear, detailed and unbiased account and therefore it is important to review all of them critically. The Norman William of Poitiers wrote his Gesta Willelmi ducis Normannorum et regis Anglorum. William of Jumièges was a Norman monk and chronicler and wrote his Gesta Normannorum Ducum.

A View from the Swamp. Random thoughts from the edge of the Fens. Can we emerge as the party of principle? May 3rd, 2011. It seems to me that the Conservatives and particularly Labour are mired in the class-warfare of the last century. Labour still think of entitlements and the Conservatives still preserve the interests of the rich and powerful. Worse, both parties seek wedge issues and nakedly grub for votes, running lowest common denominator campaigns seeking to bribe the voters. Addressing the deficit...

Recently there has been talk of the impending boundary changes. Some of this has been quite alarming for us Liberal Democrats, with the Guardian estimating we’d lose up to 25% of our seats!

A View from the Swamp. Random thoughts from the edge of the Fens. Archive for the ‘Conservation’ Category. Farming Peat Fens, Part 1. Thursday, June 16th, 2011. What could possibly be wrong with that? The common perception is that farming is green and sustainable, or at the very minimum it must take CO. Out of the atmosphere. But when the peat is drained, biodegradation resumes and the peat evaporates, mostly becoming carbon dioxide. The speed of this process can best be seen. So how much CO. About 120 t...

A View from the Swamp. Random thoughts from the edge of the Fens. Archive for the ‘United Nations’ Category. Is Libya near tipping point? Wednesday, May 11th, 2011. Most commentators agree that Libya is in stalemate. But when you examine the situation in detail, it feels to me as if it may be nearing a critical tipping point where things swing decisively in favour of the pro-democracy movement. There are four areas which give hope that this might be true:. A renewed assault on Brega. In the Nafusa mounta...
