Greta Thunberg
There is nothing quite like portly middle-aged men screaming abuse at young environmental campaigner, Greta Thunberg. What is it about a 16-year-old girl that makes people want to rabidly bully her from their keyboards? Maybe it is just that there is a huge section of society who are in complete denial about the climate breakdown? Perhaps being told what they don’t want to hear by a young girl screws their heads up so much they feel a need to ...

How Brexit Took Me Back to 2001!
When I was watching the news last night, there were pictures of a Brexit rally that took me right back to Britain, the 2001 version. It was September, and I had taken my two kids down to a static caravan park in Swanage, Dorset. They would have been 3 and 5. When we parked up next to our luxury holiday home, the chap in the caravan next to us, introduced himself. He was an odd chap, about 60 years old with a heavily stained Southampton ...
