Not just a blog, a philosophy
by Jack Monroe, bestselling author of 'A Girl Called Jack'
Realist, writer, reader, reviewer and rocker.
The Real England is a concise, direct, and not-so-gentle window into the depths of the leftovers of the world’s once greatest empire. It is told from the perspective of one lone (or not so lone) long term visitor. It informs one of the dregs of the country and helps to explain quaint British oddities such as the crack addicted chav.

I sincerely hope her passion can help to make some changes.
Best wishes, Pete. x
Reblogged this on Ace News Desk.
She sounds terrific. I had not heard about non-disclosure agreements regarding one’s salary, but I suppose that’s strategy for being able to pay one person a lot and many other people a lot less without anyone finding out… I am sorry to read this sentence: “The situation today is worse, she said, with cuts to drama teaching in schools and the government’s decision to not have a compulsory arts subject in the new English baccalaureate.” Being part of a theatrical production — whether onstage or off — teaches so many valuable lessons about collaboration and community and responsibility (all qualities were are going to need more and more of to respond to the extraordinary environmental/geo-political challenges we are creating here on planet earth…)
To be frank, I just don’t understand why we always have so much trouble trying to make politicians understand how important drama is whether on or off-stage, as you say. It seems anyone who chooses to be a politician is severely lacking in imagination and compassion. We’re producing clones of these passionless bullies by not including drama on the curriculum. I hope, as Pete says above, that Beattie’s passion can bring about further change.
