Maybe it is just a fundamental difference between us and other countries but according to some foreign media, everyone in the UK and particularly London is terrified but as the headline in the Independent revealed, that doesn’t seem to be the case. I have to say that I’m not in the slightest bit terrified nor… Continue reading London is Reeling…. NOT

Has Trump handed over American Hegemony? Poisoning the world – the new American dream.
It’s always been one of the themes of history that I have found most interesting; that moment when the primary power in the world sees its position usurped. History is replete with turning points where one massive power is surpassed by a rival. The causes can be varied from natural disasters to simple economics. As… Continue reading Has Trump handed over American Hegemony? Poisoning the world – the new American dream.
Manchester Remembered Around The World
As the world remembers the atrocity in Manchester this week, I’d like to thank everyone for their emails to me in the last few days from around the world.

Waking up early for success
I don’t know about you but I have always been an early bird. Even when I was little, I was up by 6am and today if I make it to 6am then it is a great lay-in. For some reason I just wake up even if I am really tired. I’ve never been woken up by… Continue reading Waking up early for success

Standing Up To Corporate Greed
I’ve written several posts on corporate tax dodgers and greed and this week, none was more surprised to be confronted by another example of this just a minute from where I live when I got on my local bus. Imagine my surprise when my bus ticket increased from £10 to £15 overnight. A figure so… Continue reading Standing Up To Corporate Greed

Every now and then the internet actually comes up with something undeniably good and helpful, maybe something that would actually be impossible before the 1990’s rather than just being another channel for selling you junk that you don’t need. I still think Airbnb is probably the best idea ever realised on the Internet, a true… Continue reading Olio – The Food Recycling App #zerofoodwaste
10 of the most oppressed minorities around the world
Whilst much of the world is pre-occupied with protesting against Donald Trump, as worthy as that may be, I’d like to illustrate what real oppression looks like around the world with just some of the longest standing and most severe cases of ongoing injustice around the world. 10. Jewish and Christian people in some Muslim… Continue reading 10 of the most oppressed minorities around the world
Think Donald Trump is bad, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
Whilst I couldn’t say that I would ever have voted Trump in a million years, I also wouldn’t have voted Hilary in a million years either. The last few weeks have seen protests across the USA and around much of the world and I really understand why however…. As much as I don’t like Trump,… Continue reading Think Donald Trump is bad, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
Vegetable Shortage Crisis Tip Of The Iceberg
This week, much of the country has been focused on the shock of a vegetable shortage with rationing having been introduced back to Britain for the first time since the 1950’s. In news that will send children across much of Northern Europe rejoicing, there is now a shortage lettuce, broccoli, tomatoes, courgettes and several… Continue reading Vegetable Shortage Crisis Tip Of The Iceberg
