Apart from the early years when I’d not long been granted the right to vote, I’ve not really attended the election pantomime in the United Kingdom for the past 40 years having reached the conclusion long ago that politics is a rigged game across the globe. Generally speaking Labour or Conservative, Democrat or Republican the…
Since the first Cardiff humanitarian crusade in solidarity with Palestine in 2024 took place at the start of the year I’ve found it difficult to write about those that have followed due to sheer frustration that the genocide is still ongoing, now into its 114th day, and because my former employer MediaWales and its Wales…
Boasting an impressive list of speakers, including singer and TV personality Charlotte Church, Saturday’s Welsh National March For Palestine saw thousands of humanitarian crusaders from across Wales gather in Cardiff’s Central Square to express their prayers for the UK government to stop condoning Benjamin Netanyahu’s campaign of terror in Gaza, where tens of thousands of…
You thought it could never happen? Think again!

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…
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…
