A place where I'll post up some thoughts and ideas - especially on literature in education, children's literature in general, poetry, reading, writing, teaching and thoughts on current affairs.

What they migrate - but don't call 'migration'.
Our governments migrate bombs
but they don't call that migration.
Our governments migrate drones
but they don't call that migration
Our governments migrate bullets
but they don't call that migration.
Our governments migrate war
but they don't call that migration.
Our banks migrate money
but they don't call that migration
Our banks migrate billions
but they don't call that migration.
business migrates jobs
but they don't call that migration
All these people migrate misery
but they don't call that migration.
We say no to blaming migrants
we say no to racism
no to blaming migrants
no to racism.
