Louise Baldock was a Labour Councillor in the city of Liverpool for two terms, 2006 - 2014. This was her award-winning blog, written mainly as a councillor about issues affecting Kensington and Fairfield ward, sometimes as a politician, and sometimes simply personal commentary. Although she thought she might rekindle the blog after May 2015, she has now changed her mind and leaves this as an archive and record.

Something positive to warm you
What a wonderful photo of a small boy meeting Barack Obama in the White House, and wanting to touch his hair, to see if it felt like his own.
Let's hope that millions of little boys and girls are motivated, encouraged and enthused by his election, to strive for public office themselves.
Thanks to my friend Natalie (from Trinidad, with the same hair herself) for sending it to me, she says it looks almost as though the boy is blessing the President. This is a powerful message of hope on a dark day, proof that we can and will overcome.
