I’m not one for The X Factor really, but last night I did see the clip on television of Gary Barlow commenting that Misha B has no chance of winning the show given what others have said about her in the past. I couldn’t agree more. Now, those of you who know me or my…

For some strange reason, my blog stats (formerly known as ‘statistics’) this past quarter appear to be on the rise – greatly in fact! It’s either because I connect with people, or folk are seeing what rubbish I’m writing next? I’ll let you be the judge 😮 Anyway, a friend of mine has re-launched his…
I saw on a friend’s Facebook page earlier, a video that even shocked me – and it takes a lot these days! It reinforced not that I really needed it, why Racism Ruins Lives (a cause I champion) and why I will continue to fight all forms of discrimination around me. I don’t really believe…
In July 2010, I found out that The Sun newspaper had obtained my personal and sensitive information, and was going to publish this in an attempt to discredit me. This was because I had taken the not-easy decision to challenge my employer for behaviour in my job as a police detective I believed to be…
With the news that one of Hollywood’s ‘hottest’ couple’s Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher are to split, it reminded of my own divorce of late. I’ve spent the last week thinking about the past 2-years, and my fight against discrimination in the workplace. It might seem odd to some, but being in the same job…
I remembered this morning that, I haven’t wrote a blog for over a month now. I had no intention to either, until I completed my Fight for Justice against discrimination which I continue to do. However, seeing more and more people the past few days wearing poppy’s prompted me to write this my 100th blog.…
Is there such a thing? Being LGB (Liverpudlian, Gay & Black) / Forced Out
Back in 5 minutes.
Alex and I haven’t had the time or energy of late to enjoy ourselves due to one thing or another, so I went looking through some old holiday snaps to remind me of when we last had a ‘laugh’ and good night out. It was then that I found a picture of us both on…
Back in April, I blogged about the LONG bendy buses in London (On The Buses…) and how 12-members (yes, 12) of Transport for London staff ended-up on the same bus I was on in comical fashion, to check passengers tickets – I mean, there was nearly more Ticket Inspectors than passengers! Anyway, I read the other…
It was on this day, in 2001 that my old friend Daniel and I watched the tragic events unfold in New York. It’s hard to believe, that 10-years have passed by. On this, the anniversary decade of September 11 – this is my opportunity to remember all those who perished and their families and friends…
I was minding my own business earlier (as I do), when I came across an ITV Views video on the World Wide Web. I’ve been REALLY busy of late, trying to make the world a better place (of course) and so haven’t been abreast of things as I like to be. However, there was something…
It was a couple of weeks ago, whilst surfing the Internet that I came across the book Almost British, by Olivea M. Ebanks. Having read a little about it, I thought it would be a good read and tried to get hold of a copy. However, I couldn’t on Amazon or at Waterstones although it is listed…
Today, one of my closest and dearest friends Charlotte married her love, Jamie in the beautiful Channel Islands’. Charlotte and I have known each other for some time now, and I was probably excited as her when she told me that she had found ‘the one’ – and then meeting him myself in an old Manchester…
Yesterday for his birthday, I took Alex to New Forest in Hampshire, South England and what an experience it was… Since Alex and I have been together, we have spent much time travelling to far and distant places around the world, but yesterday showed us that we didn’t have a clue what was on our…
