Favorite Museum/Theatre/Arts Centre/Etc: Museum - The Natural History Museum in London, I love the displays. My favourite Arts Centre is the Jersey Arts Centre down the road from me, I'm heavily involved in volunteering there and I am a member of the in house adult theatre group.
Favorite Politician/Activist/Writer: Yes I'm a JK Rowling fan, but it's because I aim to have her sort of success with my children's books... to be able to draw in such a wide audience is a gift. I also love Jodi Picoult, she draws you in and the twists in her books are often unexpected.
Favorite City/Place: I don't have a favourite city, perhaps because I've grown up on a little island in the middle of the English Channel, so I have to say my favourite place is The Cosmopolitan, my local bar/club, there's always a diverse selection of people in there.

Your beliefs or comments (keep it brief and to the point)
Abortion Laws: Abortion is a woman's right. Not one I necessarily agree with as I believe all life to be a gift, but I understand the need for it.
Feminism: Can be taken to far, but I'm all for women having power.
Marriage Laws: Suck in a lot of places... but I'd rather call it Civil Partnership if you're talking about the GLBT community
Alternative Parenting: As long as a child has all the love it needs that's all that matters
Higher Education: Insist we go to college then make it harder to get a job because so many people have degrees

To see the world in a grain of sand, and to see heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hands, and eternity in an hour. William Blake
Ask a thought provoking question: Does organised religion cause more problems than it solves?
Now answer it: Yes.... more battles have been fought because of organised religion than for any other reason.
