It’s fascism when standing up for humanity becomes extreme
Two poignant protests in Cardiff in the past few days in memory of the tens of thousands of innocent women and children slaughtered by Benjamin Netanyahu’s terrorist regime in Israel have been completely ignored by MediaWales newspapers, although Wales On Sunday did carry a report on Charlotte Church’s presence at the Palestine solidarity march in…
One little thing Wales could do that would have a huge impact
Having worked in journalism for more than half my life, days seem to come and go without the dates really registering with me… it applies to birthdays, even my own, Christmas and all sorts of other anniversaries that should have significance but don’t as I struggle to even remember what day it is let alone…
One person’s sacrifice futile in a world that condones genocide
As Israel’s campaign of genocide heads into its sixth month, I’ve heard many people take solace from the knowledge they are “standing on the right side of history” by speaking out about the atrocities and condemning the United Kingdom government’s complicity in the ethnic cleansing being carried out in Gaza by Benjamin Netanyahu’s terrorist regime.…
Only a fool would take Israeli propaganda at face value
I tried to watch Wednesday’s Westminster ceasefire debate over Israel’s campaign of genocide in Gaza but found it such pantomime that I wasn’t able to stomach much and still don’t really know whether the United Kingdom has called for a ceasefire in the Palestinian enclave or not. I’m aware the debate ended in uproar after…
Call for a ceasefire Starmer’s only hope of restoring credibility
Good or bad, for better or worse, one thing we can all be certain of is that life goes on. And right at this moment I’m thankful I have the good fortune that mine is centred in a country that is not under siege by the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) bombing hospitals, schools, universities and…
From the ‘great abstainer’ to a Euro no-brainer for Wales
Oh yes he’s the “great abstainer” and he’s “pretending that he’s doing well” in a lovely series of little podcasts being put out on Instagram at great expense by the Conservative Party… but money well spent on Alun “Friend of Israel” Cairns as it’s only a drop in the ocean in comparison to the Tory…
Time for Wales to put humanity first and boycott Euro play-offs
With Israel’s campaign of genocide in Gaza now into its fifth month I find it absolutely staggering that its name went into the draw yesterday (8 February) for the 2024-25 Uefa Nations League, which did not contain the name of Russia because of its phoney stage-managed conflict with Ukraine. Please explain why there is no…
How Wales plays a part in Israeli campaign of genocide in Gaza
In the summer last year I remember hearing about Senedd Economy Minister Vaughan Gething blowing the horn about an advanced United States-based engineering company expanding its presence with a new centre of excellence at Cardiff Airport, St Athan, in the Vale of Glamorgan. It immediately set off alarm bells but, as events in Gaza took…
Children being slaughtered while faint-hearted sit on the fence
The genocide in Gaza has gone from north to south over the past five months with the southern city of Rafah, where more than a million people are sheltering, the latest target in Israel’s ethnic-cleansing mission to destroy the heart and soul of the Palestinian enclave. Airstrikes across Gaza killed scores of people on Sunday…
False flags flying in Middle East to inflame a global catastrophe
I woke up yesterday to the heartbreaking news that the United States and United Kingdom had been stepping up their efforts to foment the outbreak of World War III by mercilessly bombing targets in Iraq and Syria. The weather outside sounded frightful and in Cardiff later in the day Wales’ Six Nations campaign would kick…

We can lead a cause to Waters but you decide whether to drink - You know how it is sometimes, when you wake up from a dream and there’s this earworm wiggling around in your brain? Well, since last Saturday’s humanitarian crusade in Cardiff in solidarity with the people of Gaza suffering mercilessly at the hands of the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), I’ve had a slightly modified snippet of…
Why Twitter rebranding has fuelled talk of the beast - Just like the “weigh-in” histrionics that traditionally hype up boxing showdowns, there’s nothing quite like a bout between two “technotwats” to get tongues wagging in the world of social media. Certainly much curiosity was generated when Elon Musk snapped up Twitter in 2022… the big question being whether he’d also target Instagram, acquired by Facebook…
Peter Cook: Looking down on world from the stars - On the 84th anniversary of his birth on 17 November 1937, it's weird to think British comedian Peter Cook is looking down on us from above... but in a way he actually is. Out in the asteroid belt, somewhere between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, among the numerous irregularly shaped bodies such as Ceres,…
Doyle Brunson: Crushing it at 88 - An accomplished college basketball player and middle-distance runner with great potential, Doyle Brunson appeared to have a successful sporting career ahead of him until a summer job in a gypsum plant in the 1950s changed that trajectory immeasurably and ultimately gave rise to perhaps the greatest legend the world of professional poker has seen. With…

Suella: Goes to synagogue and a big fan of chicken schnitzel - Apparently Suella Braverman is Britain’s home secretary, not something I was totally aware of as I’ve virtually abstained from “politics” decades ago and generally have very little regard for the people who seek public office. If someone emerged on the political scene who genuinely had a sense of justice and a desire to serve the…
Greta sets the agenda by keeping an eye on WEF - If you want to know who not to trust in the year ahead, the World Economic Forum’s annual extravaganza at Davos in Switzerland offers a clear early indication. This year's meeting, which came to a close last Friday, brought together 2,700 of the world's movers and shakers, including 52 heads of state, to map out…
Hedy Lamarr: Ecstasy and invention - MGM called her “the most beautiful woman in the world” but there was a lot more to the Austrian sex bomb who depicted the film world's first female orgasm than mere good looks... Hedy Lamarr also had an incredible mind, making a major contribution to the later development of wifi, GPS and Bluetooth. Born 107…
Coco Chanel: The designer who allowed women to be stylish - It was 138 years ago today that possibly the most influential woman of the last century was born. A revolutionary of society as well as fashion, Coco Chanel came from nothing to become arguably the most significant woman of her age, tearing down stereotypes and leaving a lasting legacy on women's fashion that has survived…
