James Bessant with "No Laughing Matter" made a welcome return to Poetry24 on Thursday. He looked at the way even the best of intentions can lead us into seriously bad company. It is a sobering thought.
Luigi Pagano finished up the week with "News Travel Fast" which says how a lot of us feel about the "24 hour news cycle"

Well, have a good week everyone. If you're celebrating Christmas then I hope it's a good one. Keep sending in your poems, Poetry24 will still be open.
