Who died 25 years ago today. “Perhaps the whole root of our trouble, the human trouble, is that we will sacrifice all the beauty of our lives, will imprison ourselves in totems, taboos, crosses, blood sacrifices, steeples, mosques, races, armies, flags, nations, in order to deny the fact of death, the only fact we have.…

I think it’s safe to say based on my personal experiences of late that, many people around my age or younger don’t really remember 11 November each year or indeed support it. I don’t think it’s because of a lack of respect, but that they don’t agree with wars. However, the two are very different.…

There probably isn’t many who failed to notice this week that, Barack Obama succeeded in a second term as President of the United States – POTUS, to you and me. Clearly (and I know I’m bias), he won because he was and is the best man out of the two for the job – not,…

I can remember this day in 1998 the month after I started university in Manchester, the murder of Matthew Shepard who died on October 12 at the young age of 21 near Laramie, Wyoming, USA. His death was as a result of his sexuality, being tortured because he was gay. On this yet another anniversary…

I’ve just heard Tina Turner’s What’s Love Got To Do With It on the radio, and it reminded me of my trip to the theatre a couple of weeks ago with one of my closest friends Sara – it was a treat, from her of course. We went to see Soul Sister at the Savoy…

I was thinking earlier that… if there is one thing the findings of the disclosed material and report of the Hillsborough Independent Panel has taught me like that of Doreen Lawrence, is never ever give up on the pursuit of justice. I wrote not so long ago a blog about the death of Azaria Chamberlain,…
