Now I’m the first to admit that I’m carrying a couple of extra stones of mainly belly fat, but…. My trips into Hull city centre (and I actually more or less already reside there) are now becoming less and less frequent. Hull, like many smaller cities, is a pale shadow of its former self when […]

Do you donate to any well-known charities? Or are you perhaps a paying member of things like The National Trust? Then more fool you I say. Probably in the past I didn’t think too deeply about giving to well-known charities, either on flag days or in little envelopes through the letterbox (but still boycotting those

In modern day Britain, we are allowed to mourn our murdered children, friends or relatives. We are free to be appalled. We are also permitted to lay flowers by the coagulating blood of our kith and kin, as our political leaders walk solemnly towards the farewell postcards and tear-drenched bouquets for a tight minute of

I am sure that one should not take pleasure in others’ misery. The Left’s congenital schadenfreude whenever conservatives are convicted of thought crimes notwithstanding, two wrongs never make a right. But, by God am I enjoying the left-wing liberal meltdown following the resounding victory of Donald Trump in the US elections. “How can I count

Despite predictions of a close race, Trump won the Electoral College comfortably, control of the Senate, the swing states, and even the popular vote. Yes, I know about Grover Cleveland

Once upon a time it was considered rather vulgar (at least in my family) to put up Christmas decorations before 1st December, and even that early was thought a bit ‘common’. How we mocked the people who felt it necessary to display anything more than a tasteful bauble-decorated tree, and their collection of received Christmas

I have just attended a major health conference somewhere in South East Asia which had delegates from over 40 countries. Australia and Canada were well represented. I have been to both Australia and Canada many times and I love both countries. But, increasingly, kow-towing to the indigenous peoples is evident. It has moved from polite

I’ve written before about my disgust with most of the UK Dentistry profession (the woefully awful NHS variety and the Mafia-inspired private practitioners with their new patient waiting lists, rip off first appointment assessment fees and thereafter hard-selling of unnecessary costly cosmetic work). Having finally given up on Hull area dentists, it’s probably been four
