#Depression … it’s no LAUGHING matter
by Kevin Maxwell •
Like many in the UK, I woke this morning in London to hear that the US Actor and Comedian Robin Williams had died. A man until now I did not know had fought severe depression, even though I had grown up with his movies like Mrs Doubtfire and The Birdcage to name but a few. Depression…

#Warsi … the Lady’s NOT for turning!
by Kevin Maxwell •
I dislike all politicians equally, except for my Member of Parliament. But when I heard today that Baroness Warsi the senior Foreign Office minister had resigned over the conflict in Gaza, a bit of political hope crept into my cold heart. She too, is a former Chair of the Conservative Party. The current situation in Palestine has been…

Thomas Cook insults Scousers …
by Kevin Maxwell •
I don’t do nepotism, but when my brother sent me a message yesterday about his and other Scouse families treatment by Thomas Cook I knew something was wrong. More so, because he’s a laid-back kind of guy with most things not bothering him – someone, who doesn’t panic or worry unnecessarily. With the school holidays in…

Today (a Wednesday, I know), is the start of the 20th Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. As the athletes from throughout the former British Empire compete in Scotland, don’t forget that unlike the United Kingdom it is still illegal to be gay in 42 of the commonwealth countries … Food for Thought!

Britain and the European Union …
by Kevin Maxwell •
There’s been much talk of late within the United Kingdom with regards to our relationship with our fellow Europeans, and whether we want to be in or out of Europe. I’m not a betting man, but if there was a vote tomorrow – I think overwhelmingly, the British people would vote to ‘come out’ of…

I get these blog stats every so often, which tell me all sorts of ‘really’ useless information. One though, tells me which countries people are reading my blog Max News from. Naturally, the United Kingdom followed by the United States are my biggest audiences, but I was surprised about some countries in Africa and Asia I…

Britain takes a Pounding …
by Kevin Maxwell •
On my recent visit back home Up North, I was genuinely surprised about how many “Pound” shops there was. This isn’t just a Liverpool thing, but one which is replicated all-over this small island. We’ve got everything from Poundstretcher to Poundland to Poundworld and even 1p off shops with the 99p Stores, at a time when the…
