F1 2021 Round 22 – Saudi Arabia

It could all be settled here. Depending on the result, Lewis Hamilton could win his eighth World Championship. Welcome to Jeddah. The Jeddah Corniche Street circuit is easily the fastest street track in F1, and it made its debut in 2021. The real Grand Prix brought us a number of controversial moments in the penultimate […]

Guns and Spirituality P2

It is of no surprise to me that the author of Theology Archaeology responded quite rapidly to my defence of Jill Dennison. Let us see if he has any reasonable arguments to the ones I made. Also posted on The Coalition of the Brave. Our nemesis at Meerkat Musings has published another article critiquing our gun post. […]

Bloganuary the 31st – Stars

We’ve done it! We’ve reached the end of Bloganuary! Some prompts have been more interesting than others, but overall I’ve enjoyed this experience. On to the final prompt… ‘How do you feel when you look at the stars?‘ I often feel quite humble when I gaze at the night sky. As humans we find it […]

G’day! Welcome to the Land Down Under for the 21st round of the 2021 Championship – and a break with reality. In fact, this is not the first break from the real 2021 F1 season, but for the life of me I can’t remember the other one! In the real season there were 22 races, […]

The Tories Hate the Poor

I’m reposting something from last September. It remains as relevant as ever. Yeah, I’m being blunt here, but why wouldn’t I?

They plan to reduce Universal Credit payments soon, something […]

Bloganuary the 29th – Change

How are you changing the world? I’d like to think that as and when people read my posts or tweets, or listen to my podcasts, or watch my videos, some of the readers/listeners/watchers can see that my aim is to inspire and make people think. I am unashamedly left of centre on the political spectrum […]

The Tories – Eroding your Rights

Also posted on The Coalition of the Brave. During my travels around the web I discovered yet another reminder of what modern-day Tories stand for. They stand for the steady erasure of rights and democracy. From the excellent post by Dr Nafeez Ahmed: Nationality and Borders Bill: Up to 15 Million at Risk As has […]
