Joshua Bell Knihy

Love, sex, boats and friendship. And yet Jo Bell’s second poetry collection, Kith, is about so much more, as these bold and generous poems interweave bigger questions of place, identity and community and what these mean to us, here and now. Delighting in the belting, beautiful turn-of-phrase, Jo Bell’s poems are lyrical and joyous, but always precise and clear as birdsong. They take us the long way home, plot histories along the route of backwaters, and are occasionally diverted for a roll in the hay; hearts are broken and boats are dry-docked. There will be tears, but there will also be love, safe harbours, and the company of wise and faithful kith.

Diploma Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Law - European and International Law, Intellectual Properties, Pending, University of Lincoln, Global Justice, English, The aim of this study is to identify the reasons behind Anglican voters' association with the Conservative Party. In the first section, the study will assess the relevant data taken from 'Voting and Values in Does religion count?' by researchers at Theos Think Tank. The research supports the assumption that Anglicans are more likely to vote Conservative than any other political party. Having distinguished the facts, the second section of the study will establish the reasoning behind this relationship. Here, the thesis will draw upon a number of sources in order to explain the association. It was concluded that Anglican voters' association with the Conservative Party is largely a response to the historical relationship between the two. It was further concluded that much of the reasoning behind Anglican voters' preference may be down to their values regarding key moral issues. Areas for further research are also suggested within this study.
