Monday's Motivation

Politicians should never be afraid of debate or questions, after all more often that not it would be, as Dennis Healy once said of Geoffrey Howe 'it is like being savaged by a dead sheep.' Only those with things to hide bring in rules to deny debate

Also, Mary Cooper published the first book of English nursery rhymes on this day in 1774. Called Tommy Thumb's Song Book, it included Baa Baa Black Sheep, whose 'three bags full' is thought to refer to a tax imposed on the wool trade in 1275.
