A few days ago I wrote a blog on St Stephen Walbrook church but deliberately left out a very important part of its modern history, that of its vicar Chad Varah who didn’t just oversee the repairs of the church after WW2 but did something that possibly changed the world and if not did something… Continue reading Chad Varah and the Samaritans @ St Stephen Walbrook

Coronavirus Diary 87 : Down and still out
I don’t know about you but I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about the invasion of Ukraine and a huge part of me wants to help-out. Not just in the donating clothes and powerpacks way but to actually go there and fight.

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
Why has my MP and Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden left me to die?

Coronavirus Diary 63 – Speaking out on BBC 3 Counties Radio
Normally I’d write a history or quirky London piece on a Monday morning but today I just can’t. I’m far too exhausted. I’ve taken part in a national Charity video, headlined the British news and had getting towards 3,000 messages, comments and inquiries and yesterday morning took up the kind invitation or BBC Presenter… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 63 – Speaking out on BBC 3 Counties Radio
I saw a sad, kind man headline the national news yesterday and I cried for he was me.
As many of you will know I’ve spent much of the last 6 months complaining, badgering, writing, harassing and generally making a nuisance of myself to the government in a polite and sarcastic fashion that is uniquely mine. I’m sure you all here know I run a little tour company called Ye Olde England Tours… Continue reading I saw a sad, kind man headline the national news yesterday and I cried for he was me.

Some years ago I wrote an Unapologic Guide To Saying Sorry but I feel there are some celebrities who might need a refresh.

I’m… Continue reading Why is sorry the hardest word? – The modern stars with their non-apologies
