Dystopia: August 2013

http://www.keithruffles.com/2013_08_01_archive.html

Because it's already happened. Saturday, 17 August 2013. Another very short travel piece. This one won a recent Wanderlust travel writing competition. And appeared in the October 2013 edition of the magazine. The mini-competition is a regular event on the WL forum and it's a great way to practice writing short and succint articles and potentially win a goody bag to boot. Each winning piece is also featured in the print edition too, so it's well worth entering. 8221; – is busy working overtime. Doors quic...

Ultonia: Litmus

http://ultonia.blogspot.com/2012/01/litmus.html

Articles and thoughts on Unionism, politics and whatever catches my fancy. Thursday, 26 January 2012. An opinion piece I have in today's News Letter. On the issue of Unionist Unity.

Establish a Ministerial advisory group to explore and bring forward recommendations to the Minister of Education to advance shared education (DE)". However, the UUP 2011 manifesto was not quiet.

Ultonia: Handshake

http://ultonia.blogspot.com/2012/01/handshake.html

Articles and thoughts on Unionism, politics and whatever catches my fancy. Wednesday, 11 January 2012.
