Coronavirus Diary 87 – Gatecrashing a strangers funeral

As I write this, in the U.K. today is Budget Day. Of course I didn’t want the Budget, being mentioned in Parliament during the last one meant this years was always going to be even worse… and last years was epically rubbish. I’m in week 113 of this nightmare with work still being at best… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 87 – Gatecrashing a strangers funeral

Coronavirus Diary 85: Living by example.

It is surprising how often in life how often synchronicity happens. Last Saturday I set off for the East End of London to take some photos and do a little research for the new book that I am writing on every day Victorian era people who lost their lives whilst saving the lives of others.… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 85: Living by example.

Coronavirus Diary 83 – The (lack of) joy at Christmas and discombobulated thoughts

I must admit that I don’t feel 1% Christmassy and that is 1% less than last year when at least I knew everyone else was to various degrees miserable and isolated but I’m 22.5 months now into being Excluded (15 months or more of that Shielding alone). It’s hard to get concerned about people having… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 83 – The (lack of) joy at Christmas and discombobulated thoughts

Coronavirus Diary 81: Visiting London’s oldest Beigel Shop

For many if not most people, life is well on the way to being back to normal, in deed from what I can tell many peoples lives were barely impacted at all aside for a few weeks. For myself and many others in the UK however, we are effectively unable to work and I’m about… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 81: Visiting London’s oldest Beigel Shop

Coronavirus Diary 80 – I’ve survived Covid19!

I’d just like to say thank-you for all the messages and emails I’ve received this last few weeks and with any luck I can say I just about made it through Covid 19. I still have the famous Covid cough from the dreaded Delta variant and I still have no appetite or sense of taste… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 80 – I’ve survived Covid19!

Coronavirus Diary 79 – I have Covid 19 :-(

Morning everyone, I hope all is well. I’ve been quiet but not away. Some of you may have noticed that my 9 year streak of posting at least twice a week has recently been broken. This won’t be my longest post ever which I am sure will be a relief to everyone. After my close… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 79 – I have Covid 19 😦

Excluded Unity marching on Parliament and remembering the suicides caused by the government towards the 3 million Excluded community

Anyone who reads my blog knows that for the last 18 months, I’ve gone the entire pandemic with absolutely zero support. I’ve been on national and international TV, radio, newspapers. Been debated in Parliament and written a best-selling book and that doesn’t even come close to covering it all. Apart from the government discrimination and… Continue reading Excluded Unity marching on Parliament and remembering the suicides caused by the government towards the 3 million Excluded community

Life’s a show – Film Review

One of the nice things about doing my blog for this long is that I often get invited to review films. I can’t accept every offer so pick those which I think might be fun or interesting and recently one such film came up that caught my attention. We’ve all had times where we feel… Continue reading Life’s a show – Film Review

Coronavirus Diary 78 – Selling your belongings because the government has left you #ExcludedUK for 15 months

As the world continues to go back to normal for many of us, at varying degrees, I’ve just had my second Oxford vaccine on Friday 30th April and am pre-writing this post in anticipation of feeling as ill as I did after the first inoculation on the 3rd of March; still they say it is… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 78 – Selling your belongings because the government has left you #ExcludedUK for 15 months
