I'm just trying to highlight the rather brutal method of slanting history, which seems to be akin to what Gove is trying to introduce here.<br /><br />When I was in Malaŵi as a VSO from 1989 to 1991 I travelled to and from work each day along Livingstone Avenue. For variation I could use Victoria Avenue. There was, as far as I'm aware, no Stanley Street.<br /><br />It's also interesting to note that the Presbyterian church in Malaŵi, the Church of Central Africa, Presbyterian, or CCAP, though it doesn't have the most adherents, is very influential and punches well above its weight.<br /><br /> Malaŵi.is a desperately poor country with extraordinarily cheerful and resilient people. They deserve all the help they can get from our contacts.Peter Wrigleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16481117156930677255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732407426313451205.post-48663795335431749672013-04-29T09:41:36.921+01:002013-04-29T09:41:36.921+01:00Indeed such is the esteem that Livingstone is held...Indeed such is the esteem that Livingstone is held in that the President of Malawi was in Scotland recently and visited Blantyre. There are also a number of links between Scotland and Malawi at government level, including some aid programmes. Indeed many schools work to raise funds for schools there too.
