When Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson made his debut on Have I Got News For You, he was found to be a bumbling amusing journalist that most of us probably never thought would one day become Prime Minister. O how silly we were. This tousle-haired walking sack of custard (I’ve nicked that from someone whoContinue reading “Politicians Are Not Celebrities”

Human Beings
Recently our government has decided to once again try and solve the ‘small boats crisis.’ They have proposed quite a few pieces of legislation to try and stem the tide over the years, but none of them seem to have an impact. Mainly because they are either underfunded or wind up being illegal when testedContinue reading “Human Beings”
Struggling to Write
I’ve been struggling to write blog posts recently. Since posting Century a few weeks ago, I’ve started many posts but not finished any. I have periods where I’ve got four lined up and just about ready to go and when that happens I tend to procrastinate. What I should do is write a few moreContinue reading “Struggling to Write”
Century
Yeah, so I wanted to write a post and publish it as my 100th post, marking a century of posts that I have written for the blog. However I forgot and I wrote What if Charities Didn’t Exist? and Busker Flow before I realised my mistake. So if we can just ignore the fact thatContinue reading “Century”
Busker Flow
Music plays a big part in my life. I’ve written before about how a song can affect me in multiple different ways. I’ve got shuffle on a playlist and a song can come on that will calm me, lift me, enrage me, make me weep. I do find it fascinating that music can immediately changeContinue reading “Busker Flow”
What if Charities Didn’t Exist?
I hope we are all of a similar opinion that charities provide vital services for those who require assistance. I would say it is undeniable that they bring light and warmth to those in sometimes desperate need and as a society we are happy to help, volunteer or donate our time and resources to assistContinue reading “What if Charities Didn’t Exist?”
Changes to the Way We Vote – Long Read
If you’re a regular reader of the blog (hi Mum!) you’ll be pretty sure about my political views. I tend to lean to the left from the centre and I think the current Conservative Party is morally bankrupt and would be inept at running a battery powered toy car let alone a country that rakesContinue reading “Changes to the Way We Vote – Long Read”
Freedom of Speech
Freedom of speech seems to be quite a hot topic, going on for like the last forever long. Elon ‘Space Karen’ Musk decided to buy Twitter for an over inflated price to ‘protect’ free speech. He allowed racists and anti-Semites back onto the platform under the cloud of free speech and they immediately did aContinue reading “Freedom of Speech”
Back Once Again With the Ill Behaviour
Welcome to 2023! I know, I know, two posts have already been published before this welcome to the year but I wanted to give it a little time before I felt fully settled into 2023 and those posts just couldn’t wait, I felt they had an urgency to be read. I hope you enjoyed themContinue reading “Back Once Again With the Ill Behaviour”
A Group of Young(ish) Lads
There has been a recent furore about a man who has collected quite a social media presence. He has garnered this presence by explaining that he is an alpha male and other men should subscribe to his viewpoint on the relationship between men and women. He uses flashy cars and bolshy soundbites to entice. HeContinue reading “A Group of Young(ish) Lads”
