Gerry #Steinberg MP for the City of #Durham 1987-2005, passed away 19 August 2015, at 70 after a long & courageous battle with #cancer. He was as straight & direct as can be, a man of principle, who always fought for & did what he thought was right. #OTD www.gerry-steinberg.org.uk

Reader: "Patrick Notchtree writes about real life with it's ups and downs. About loves and losses and just about life from the viewpoint of a gay man. A very satisfying and rewarding read. One that I will have to obtain as a hardcover for my bookshelf." #booksky

The ongoing imprisonment of over tariff #IPP #prisoners without immediate review is contrary to natural #justice and possibly #HabeusCorpus. All these cases should be reviewed by a judge urgently. #Legal #law #courts #CellStreetRepeat
