This is Ben Locker’s personal weblog. It used to be called Scorn and Noise, a phrase from John Clare’s poem, I Am. Now it’s not.

If you are interested in my professional work, the best place to start is at the website for my consultancy.

I live in Stamford Hill at the northern tip of Hackney, the inner London borough. I am married and have one child.

My original blog was called Hackney Lookout. You can download a selection of highlights from this link (pdf file).

I am co author of Swinesend, Britain’s Greatest Public School.

Other projects I have collaborated on include:

• The Horn of Plenty
• The Crap Public Schools Association
• Swinesend: Britain’s Greatest Public School
