Political agenda?

Posted on October 21, 2020 by

I’m all for free speech – I think it’s one of the fundamental tenets underpinning civilised society, and to that end I would never deny anyone the right to express their views and opinions, whether in accord with mine, or … Continue reading →

What can you get for a tenner?

Posted on October 18, 2020 by

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one… Apparently

Posted on August 29, 2020 by

It’s not all about the virus

Posted on March 30, 2020 by

I received an email at the weekend from a friend, it started with the words “I’m very afraid. Do you think mankind will survive this?” I won’t go into my response in detail, but I’ll summarise very briefly. Much as … Continue reading →
