I think it was Al Gore that said in many respects, politics is no longer left against right, it’s more the politics of hope against the politics of fear. Fear usually wins in the short term, you can play on folks’ fears to manipulate a decision, but it...

June blessings, for everyone. Thank god it’s finally rained! Over the past month and a half I’ve been planting up all the beds and borders - and had no choice but to barrow all the new topsoil onto parched ground. It’s been a struggle to keep everything...
I'm very anxious for this country. The government is palpably unfit to govern. They've caused tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths. I n normal circumstances the murder of even one person could cause a nationwide media obsession, never mind tens of...
We've had a return of some wildlife that had been pressed out of sight for a century or more which is nice World politics is Greener and the great industrial heartlands and the billions of vehicles around the world have ceases spewing out particulates...
''The big lesson from the world's best school system? Trust your teachers Finnish education policies are highly praised, but the real success is the level of responsibility and autonomy given to teachers to do their jobs'' Different people from different...
The UK needs to completely change the way it designs cities, estates and infrastructure to support green forms of transport. It's not difficult to bring in new legislation to say that from 2021 all new homes built must have solar panels installed as standard...

The most flattering apology for this English government’s handling of coronavirus is that containing it was a sheer impossibility. I almost agree with this statement for a sole reason: their austerity caused lack of preparation. The English Conservative...
Over the last decade, we have seen how the government have handed over social service responsibilities to the private sector and increasingly private individuals. This has been increasingly the case since David Cameron’s ‘big society’ speech that advocated...
Rich people can isolate themselves. They have gardens, they have cars, they have freezers full of food, they have used government subsidies to install solar on their roofs. The mega rich feel insulated from harm by wealth, those that vote for them do...
Johnson is an obfuscator at the level of paranoia. He is pathologically incapable of trusting people and the irony is that it excerbates his honesty problem as we perceive it. How dare we question him. He is born to the purple while we are common serfs....
After the Berlin Wall came down and Germany had to re-unite the ex-soviet East Germany with the modern and industrial West, it embarked on a programme of refitting factories, upgrading infrastructure and bringing the standard of living in the east towards...
Youth clubs can be great tools for teens who want a safe place to go and grow. Unfortunatly there will always be the lazy, greed few who would rather push drugs and use guns. Having seen generations of people of all ages succumb to drug and/or alcohol...
By far the best link between classical German literature and an entirely modern take on the original work is by the East German writer Ulrich Plenzdorf. His "Die neuen leiden des jungen W." says a great deal about the malaise felt by a younger generation...

The easing of restrictions is based on nothing other than the government managing the news. The recent, entirely unplanned, acceleration of the process was calculated to shift the heat off Johnson's idiotic defence of his advisor. Were any rational policy...
As usual, this English governments handling of something has consisted largely of blunder and has been fuelled by incompetence, lacking clarity and seemingly devoid of strategy. The messaging concerning masks was extremely confusing and conveyed that...
For the last few years, US politics has seemed devoid of integrity after the ascension of Trump, bringing forward the nations decline on the global stage. From election fixing to thinly veiled racism and and everything in between, Trump and his family...
Lockdown walks are often better and much more peaceful in the evening... I enjoy seeing families with young children in the afternoon, but don't enjoy having to dodge mad runners at times and have met badly behaved dogs (and their owners), when walking...
my potatoes also got frostbite. To anyone who experienced the same, to speed new growth, gently remove the affected leaves down to their nodes (the point where the leaf stem meets the stem it is attached to.) This ensures the plant will put all its energy...
Unfortunately, the damage that Covid-19 causes is almost certainly not confined entirely to the death rate. We may not know for some time exactly what else it causes, but even now we have enough evidence to know that there are other problems out there....

As a pandemic and a global anti-racism movement unsettle us and force us to think deeply about how our societies perpetuate an inequality that threatens the lives of those on the sharp end of law enforcement and poor healthcare access, our “thinkers”...
'remember to breathe', was often said to me which although it made me laugh I thought was true. I read a book once about SAS snipers who would calm themselves before taking the shot by deep breathing so they were steady on the trigger. I think remembering...
