“The greatest poet in the English language found his poetry where poetry is found: in the lives of the people.

The tale is told in flashback as Kildare questions Elizabeth to formulate a defence, but he’s also interrogating other suspects so he can prove the late John Cree guilty by process of elimination. The Limehouse Golem, as the serial killer calls himself, has to be one of the few people who were in the British Museum reading room (“the furnace where the future is forged!”) on a certain date. Others who were there include Karl Marx and George Gissing Review of note

Since Triumphant Trump won the unwinnable election Orange is the new Black. Speaking of    Colours, The NSW Nationals were at risk of being "trumped" in Orange on Saturday night.

Voters in the the once-safe seat punished the NSW Nationals by flocking to the minor Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party in a byelection that is being seen as barometer of unhappiness with the Baird government's greyhound ban and forced council mergers. Gerrymanders at Grass Root Levels ...
