UK Elections: Practicing vs. Preaching Democracy
Practicing Democracy vs. Preaching Democracy: Here we go gain; after the flawed BREXIT referendum of 2016 we seem to be at another political crossroads where politics seems to be at odds with realities.

A “La-di-da” BREXIT Indeed
Truly a “La-di-da” BREXIT Indeed; or more accurately as the French would say an “Oh la la” BREXIT. Here’s my layman’s take; BREXIT was sold as mainly an immigration related issue to the majority of the population because that was bate that many would follow or rather the shiny object […]

GAZA – Sloppy “Short-Termism”Should be Tossed Out the Window
History in my opinion has always been about one of 2 options we take; Learn/Face up/Resolve Watch/Turn away/Ignore If we are genuinely keen on developing as a global community in an interconnected global landscape we need to have a razor sharp/far reaching vision (as opposed to a blurred one) […]

Read More U.S. College Protests; Fareed Zakaria Gets Too Clever!
Fareed, I normally agree with most of your views. Here, however, you’re completely off the mark mate. This is much more than a mere social issue; it’s a valid, relevant and critical issue that’s being ignored and undermined by political wrangling that is costing real lives day-in-day-out. To frame it […]

Read More No “Far Right”, No “Far Left”; Free Speech is Fundamental
Despite my firm opposition to extremist ideologies of the far right and everything they represent, I equally oppose any effort to suppress their right to express their views freely. You challenge their ideologies but when you begin to shut them down you’ve already lost your argument and your core values […]

State of the “Union” Concept: Hey, what’s happening?
It’s becoming clear to me (sadly) that the EU as a promising concept as it was, founded mainly on values is being transformed into a convenient transactional business arrangement. To be member of the club you may need to from time to time and when pushed hard show your “values” […]
