In light of the decision by Tory MPs to deny the NHS protection from being sold off as part of trade deals, I wanted to highlight the stark differences in the UK and US healthcare systems, to illustrate why we need to protect the NHS from encroachment by US businesses. Firstly, some basics. Hopefully you […]
Having assured us that the NHS wasn’t for sale, the other day Tory MPs shot down a motion to ensure this was definitely the case. Suddenly the prospect is very much alive (what a surprise). Alongside this latest example of Tory deceit was another vote regarding the quality of food and the treatment of animals, […]
Recall Boris Johnson giving us a ‘rock solid‘ guarantee that the NHS is not for sale, and will not be part of any trade negotiations with other countries? Why then, have his Tory MPs voted against a motion to protect the NHS from this very issue? Could it be that Johnson and his bunch of […]
… I’ll take a Corona… hold the virus. But in all seriousness, hands up if you truly believe this is a good thing. No takers? Not a single one? I can’t say I blame you. The decision to reopen pubs was always a bad idea at this stage. People + alcohol + pub = ignoring […]
Over on the Coalition website, I recently dismantled a few arguments made by a Holocaust denier, and now, on the course of my web travels, I’ve stumbled across a site that suggests everything we know and understand of Hitler and the Nazis was wrong.

It has challenged us, and elements of it might (and in some cases should) change us. Our work/life balance, so often skewed toward work, has been altered. Our approach to how […]
Why are some people so absolutely committed to conspiracy nonsense? And why do they feel a need to argue with and belittle people who work in scientific fields? What am I referring to exactly? A conversation between an internet know-it-all, and Claire, a scientist, who happens to be my step-son’s girlfriend and a very intelligent […]
By now, you may have seen on Twitter (if you use it of course) the hashtag ‘Covidiots’. It’s trending a lot because there are plenty of people, all over the world, who seem to think the rules put in place to protect people and save lives do not apply to them. I have a newsflash […]
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
You may be wondering where this post will go. Well, let’s place the scene in the restaurant above. What might I deem inappropriate behaviour in this setting? A restaurant has waiting staff, who (depending on the quality of the establishment) may or may not be paid a particularly decent wage, yet will work very hard. […]
