Before I get into this subject, let me make something very clear. I do not have the right to question what someone else does with their own body. I fully support a person’s right to choose what happens to them and when, for whatever reason they choose. Because that is what I expect for myself.Continue reading “Abortion – Long Read”

Have a Word – Long Read
There’s a newspaper and its Sunday stablemate which at the moment, is so horrifically fucked I will not name it, but it will become apparent what shit rag I’m talking about very quickly.

My Mate Charles – Long Read
I’m normally a little vague when it comes to naming people in the blog unless I’ve specifically asked them if I can, but this week I haven’t asked, but I’m going to wang on about my mate Charles anyway.

Worcester for a Festival – Long Read

Bit Part Players, Background Artists and a Pantomime Baddie – Long Read
In a fragile link to last week’s post on anger, today I’m wanging on about a party. Or multiple parties… or one giant orgy that is 10 Downing Street with streamers, funky baboons and lots of booze. A lot of booze. There’s been reports of so many parties, I’m starting to wonder if they doContinue reading “Bit Part Players, Background Artists and a Pantomime Baddie – Long Read”
