Angels and Devils Emerging From the Refugee Crisis
Reading an on-line article by Peter Hitchens that my friend published on Facebook the other day, confirmed all my suspicions that those who think that reading or indeed writing for the Daily Mail, makes them decent, are actually a very sinister bunch. The Daily Mail 'comments' are written by the type of men who sit in their allocated seat at the local pub, drinking from a metal tankard with something like 'Barney' written on it, spouting ...
Blogs are Back as House Move Completes
After being inundated with literally ones of people asking where my blog posts have gone in recent weeks, I am glad...no, I am actually delighted, to announce that I am not dead yet and that my eclectic blend of razor sharp untamed wit, satire, and comments on current affairs will be once again appearing on your screens as you salivate in anticipation over your keyboards like DLT on a 70's edition of Top of the Pops.

I went to see The Jam exhibition with my youngest son today at Somerset House in London, which, if you don't know, is just over Waterloo Bridge and a few hundred yards eastbound on the edge of the River Thames. I was very young when I first heard The Jam, courtesy of my elder brother Graham, who had bought their début album In the City in 1977, an album that immediately impressed me as on the track Time for Truth, lead singer Paul Weller ...
