Morning everyone! I wasn’t going to put this here though I wrote it elsewhere and had lots of feedback. I’ve had few people who I’ve never met send me emails the last week or two so I thought I would say Hi. There has been some plus points, I got a letter back from The… Continue reading Why has my MP and Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden left me to die?

Roe v. Wade (2021) Movie Review
It’s been a long time since I did a film review, understandably so as with so much of public life, film-going has been all but shut down at least in the old-fashioned going to the cinema sort of way. Thankfully there are now streaming services available where we can in some way satisfy our craving… Continue reading Roe v. Wade (2021) Movie Review
I just watched the last year of Game of Thrones and loved it!
It’s taken me a Iittle time, well around two years but I finally got round to watching the last year of Game of Thrones. I actually watched the final two years of Game of Thrones in a week as I couldn’t remember if I had watched the penultimate series until I was around five episodes… Continue reading I just watched the last year of Game of Thrones and loved it!
Sarah Everard and making the streets a more friendly place.
The last 2 weeks London has been shocked and looking over its shoulder due to the sad abduction and subsequent murder of 33 year old Sarah Everard as she walked home on the evening of the 3rd March through the Clapham area. Sadly it seems her body has been discovered and if it could be… Continue reading Sarah Everard and making the streets a more friendly place.
Three special letters
It’s hard to believe that I am now in my second year of being Excluded without work, pay or any government support whatsoever. I’m actually working on a new book which like most of mine, is totally unique and I think will cause quite a stir, now and in the future. More of that another… Continue reading Three special letters
Remembering Captain Tom and putting the boot into sycophants
I just wanted to do a little post to say how sorry I am to hear of the death of Captain Sir Tom Moore who captured the hearts of much of the world in 2020 after he started out to raise £1,000 to help NHS related charities by walking 100 laps of his garden in… Continue reading Remembering Captain Tom and putting the boot into sycophants
A not very good review of a pretty rubbish year, 2020.
Having a special interest in chest infections, it was about 55 weeks ago when I first heard of what was to become the Coronavirus. It took until January before the first hints of it were dismissed in the mainstream awareness and it wasn’t until February when the western world became more properly aware of what… Continue reading A not very good review of a pretty rubbish year, 2020.
The Most Powerful Women in History 10-6
I’ve written a lot of posts about notable and less-known women in history but given the recent election results in America, I thought it would be a good time to give a low-down on some of the most powerful females in history. Of course such a list is to a degree a personal choice and… Continue reading The Most Powerful Women in History 10-6
The new fourth plinth artwork at Trafalgar Square
Readers with a long memory might remember a post I wrote in 2018 The Trafalgar Square Fourth Plinth about a rather interesting temporary art installation what is said to be the most viewed public art annually in the world. Sadly the old work of art has been replaced last week and I must say when i saw… Continue reading The new fourth plinth artwork at Trafalgar Square
Remembering Ennio Morricone
I heard early yesterday morning of the death of film composer Ennio Morricone who provided the soundtrack to some of my favourite films. Born in Rome in 1928 while Italy was headed by Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini, Morricone learned music from his father, a trumpeter in small orchestras. He went on to compose scores… Continue reading Remembering Ennio Morricone
