A Choice of Citizenship?

Posted on May 12, 2018

Sorry I have been absent from blogs lately, what with the start of the cricket season and all that it has been a busy old time where the days have just drifted past. Anyway, I was listening to a couple of people debating on the radio the other morning and it is pretty clear that we are now a nation that is utterly divided with regards to our future. The marginal victory for the Leave camp in 2016 has left the whole nation seething. ...

Movie Review – The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society!

Posted on May 4, 2018

This week, Jennifer allowed me to chose a film and on a whim, I chose 'The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society' .

Anyone who saw the BBC news last night would have seen a feature showing the state of rented accommodation that the poor and hopeless are forced to live in. It made me more aware than ever that it is often the objective of the rich to bleed the poor of every last penny they have. Rather than feeling grateful we are not living in poverty, we are virtually trained by the media that rich people are great and those who are suffering from poor ...
