Now I have never met Boris Johnson nor do I know him personally so I can't say whether he truly meant for his comments that Muslim women wearing a burka look like bank robbers and post boxes to be humorous but that is certainly not how they came across. They came across as inflammatory, deliberately… Continue reading Boris Johnson and the joke in poor taste

The Brexit Chaos: What the hell is going on?
And here we go again. We were supposed to have moved passed the incessant squabbling and infighting amongst the Conservatives and finally agreed on a direction to try and steer Brexit towards. But no. We're back where we were, with no clear plan moving forward, the government in crisis, the Conservative Party close to stamping… Continue reading The Brexit Chaos: What the hell is going on?
Why the Rolling Stones are important
The tongue and lips. One of pop culture's most enduring images and the logo for one of the world's greatest rock 'n' roll bands. The Rolling Stones. Exploding out of the London R&B scene of the early 1960's, they rode the wave from popstar princes of the British Invasion to elder statesmen of rock 'n'… Continue reading Why the Rolling Stones are important
From Solo to A New Hope, the Star Wars films ranked.
Now, I have made no secret on this blog about the fact that I am an enormous Star Wars fan. I have seen every single film multiple times and while I haven't seen all of the Clone Wars and Rebels TV shows or read any of the comics, I still try to keep abreast of… Continue reading From Solo to A New Hope, the Star Wars films ranked.
Do we really need Solo: A Star Wars Story?
The Disney juggernaut continues to bring us new Star Wars stories with the release of Solo: A Star Wars Story. And for the first time since Disney bought Lucasfilm in 2012, I'm asking myself 'Why?' Don't get me wrong, I love Star Wars and have loved every film Lucasfilm has come out with since the… Continue reading Do we really need Solo: A Star Wars Story?
What might happen this summer at Chelsea?
Well, the 2017-18 season has been rather up and down for Chelsea, they did win the F.A. Cup making up for last year's awful showing against Arsenal. But, they put up another disappointing title defence, although no-one has retained the Premier League title since Manchester United in 2009, and didn't even finish in the top… Continue reading What might happen this summer at Chelsea?
How to be ‘real’ on Instagram? Apparently the Conservatives need help with that.
This is genuinely the best political story I've read in the past few days. The Conservatives need help making their MPs look 'real' on Instagram. Yep. They had a powerpoint presentation and everything. Now, I get why they might want to improve their social media strategy and making MPs more comfortable with another way of… Continue reading How to be ‘real’ on Instagram? Apparently the Conservatives need help with that.
Why the delay, Mr President?
Since Rudy Giuliani became the President's legal spokesperson, he has done nothing but go on Fox and Friends and spout made up legal mumbo-jumbo about how the special prosecutor Robert Mueller and his team can't subpoena the President of the United States, that the country would turn on them if they subpoenaed Ivanka Trump to… Continue reading Why the delay, Mr President?
Why the Windrush Scandal shows the Conservatives are still the nasty party
At the Tory party conference of 2002, Theresa May, then party chairman, observed the Conservatives had become known as the ' nasty party.' Now, not too shy of 20 years later, the Windrush scandal has proven that to still be the case, as it pushed Amber Rudd out the door of the Home Office and… Continue reading Why the Windrush Scandal shows the Conservatives are still the nasty party
What’s the matter with having an opinion?
Sometimes I despair of people. Shania Twain of all people recently apologised for saying she would likely have voted for Donald Trump after sections of social media slated her for it. Why? Why should she have to apologise for having an opinion? I don't agree with what she said, in fact I vehemently disagree with… Continue reading What’s the matter with having an opinion?
