You thought it could never happen? Think again! Next year “flying pigs” are coming to British skies as our innovative and caring government takes another step down the road towards the New World Order vision of global police states. With Palestine solidarity rallies taking place nationally, expressing the British public’s outrage at Israel’s genocidal campaign…
Sometimes there are reasons to be proud to be British, sadly yesterday was not one of them… with the motion calling for an immediate ceasefire to Israel’s genocidal ethnic cleansing of Gaza defeated by 293 votes to 125 in Parliament. Really the breakdown of the vote is irrelevant as our government is now standing shoulder…
Yesterday proved to be another bizarre day in British political life, with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak cutting the umbilical cord with fire-breathing Home Secretary Suella Braverman, whose venomous rhetoric about “hate marches” across the country in protest against Israeli genocide in Gaza had gone down like a lead balloon, and ordaining a shock resurrection for…
Buoyed by the Senedd’s endorsement for an immediate call for a ceasefire in Gaza to prevent further suffering, thousands of Welsh humanitarians gathered at the Aneurin Bevan statue at the bottom of Queen Street yesterday to demand Westminster follows suit on Tuesday following a parliamentary debate on the crisis. After a series of powerful addresses…
Tomorrow I hope thousands of people will take to the streets in Cardiff, following Wednesday’s Senedd vote in favour of an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, to support the humanitarian stance taken by Welsh politicians against the genocide caused by Israel in the Palestinian enclave. In Cardiff Bay on Wednesday 24 members of the Senedd voted…
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…
Jamaican-born dub poet Linton Kwesi Johnson was the first person, in the late 1970s, to make me completely aware as a young undergraduate that Margaret Thatcher’s England was “a bitch”… but there’s still “no escaping it”, Rishi Sunak’s England is an even bigger bitch. How can any decent human being not condemn Jerusalem’s genocidal assault…
A crowd of 53,271 turned up at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium yesterday afternoon for a meaningless rugby match between Wales and the Barbarians that provided a winning send-off for retiring full-back Leigh Halfpenny as Wales romped to a 49-26 win. I say meaningless… but the fixture did commemorate 50 years since the epic match between the…
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…
Far be it from me to try to fully explain the significance of the number eight, since it’s an extremely complex hypothesis with branches that stretch back into Biblical history, numerological mysticism and the Fibonacci sequence (made up of numbers which form the sum of the two preceding ones). Why the number is perceived as…
