We all have our problems in life, right? When you have an issue in your life, and we all have them from time to time, at the very least, that’s just life, right? An example of what I’m talking about might be, let’s say, your neighbour upstairs plays loud music all hours of the day or night when they’re off work. You’ve been and spoken with them and they just laughed at you each time. What do you do? You take it up with your landlord, the building supervisor or maybe if it has gotten to an extreme point, the police. At least you’ve got some options, right? Another example perhaps could be, you are being harassed by a guy, shouting names at you, embarrassing you as you go to work, come home from work, take your children to school or the park. Perhaps this time you don’t confront them for a lot of “common sense” reasons. So, perhaps this time you go to take advice from a lawyer or maybe go to the police. Well, at least there’s a choice of who to turn to. What about if every time you go ou...

Grant Shapps Tells Public It Will All Go Back To Normal This is an interview g iven by Grant Shapps , transport secretary during which he muses on the notion of sending kids back to school in June. Your government is putting money and power ahead of lives. The soft soaping of the questions doesn't help to get to the truth of the matter. There is one reason they want to get children back to school and it has nothing to do with educating our children. They need them to go back to school to free up Mum and Dad to go back to work but more than that when your kids are going to school and there is a routine everything APPEARS to be 'normal'. If it appears normal people will start to believe it is and return to what they have known their entire lives, work. At no point when this ghoul is talking about kids going back to school does he acknowledge or warn of the real issue. He couches what he says in terms of children being safe from Covid-19. Whilst as a parent my...

Except, of course, if you have a semi-automatic rifle that can be capable of firing 600 rounds per minute. Then it could only take 3 seconds to mow down 22 people. ​ I will not give the individual responsible for this barbaric action any coverage here by naming them or describing their actions. The only people that should be spoken of are the people that lost their lives, their families and the wider society that will be traumatised by a loss of life so egregious that even during a time of pandemic it is still startling, stunning and horrifying. ​ However, there is something that has instantly come from this tragedy which I need to mention. ​ The reaction of the Canadian government to this situation is the right one. If you can clearl...

Hi there, Have you ever been trying to find some information about Left Wing politics that you just couldn't find? ​ Found yourself with a ton of disparate links that have bits and pieces of what you want but not quite what you need? ​ Been trying to get a picture of what group is what school or discipline of left-wing politics but not able to piece it together? ​ Yeah? Me too! ​ This project is an attempt to provide a central repository for the left online no matter the 'school' or 'discipline'. This subreddit is not the actual repository but a way to build a team that can work together to ultimately design, develop, deliver and maintain the 'library' itself. ​ I appreciate that this is a big undertaking. So, it is not something that I could do alone, nor would I want to. Any good central source of information usually comes from a dedicated team that all have something unique to offer whilst working towards a common goal but over quite a period ...

The Coronavirus, COVID-19, has swept across the planet in a matter of weeks. As it is a novel version, no one has immunity to it and there are currently no vaccines. A robust and urgent response is and was required to this. A 'Universal' healthcare response to it, if you will. However, there are countries that have no form of 'nationalised' healthcare system and require their citizens to essentially fend for themselves. Of course, this means there is no joined up, national system to coordinate not just the medical aspect of fighting this virus but also the logist aspect of it. I'm not talking about some small, basically unknown 'tribe' or clan off the top of Scotland here. No, I'm talking about the richest country on the planet, the USA. I've filmed a four part series looking at the relationship between coronavirus and healthcare and the systems that will be employed. Please join me to look at what this could mean for the countries invol...

Coronavirus is creating a lot of data. Could this help to establish healthcare as a human right? I appreciate that not everyone is a 'big nerd'. Nor is the planet occupied by 'number junkies'. The World Health Organisation seems to have realised this, and thankfully so. The WHO are doing a good job at getting information and data out to not just the media, but also the public and in simple, straightforward ways. One way they communicate how the world is fairing during this pandemic is through their situation dashboard ( WHO Covid-19 Dashboard ). For anyone looking at the data plots of coronavirus for each country, you can see a general theme. Over the first 4 to 6 weeks, the number of cases are relatively low. Then buckle up as the next 4 to 6 weeks will be like a rocket launch. Those numbers of increase in confirmed cases just take off. Watching TV can be scary. There's wall to wall coverage on a 24/7 basis of something that is very serious and new t...

Coronavirus is serious. Seems some need to be made aware of this. The world is being 'represented' by a buffoon, a man-child, someone that cares not a jot for anyone that isn't him or his family. He shouldn't be the story of a pandemic that as of just a week ago has taken the lives of over 3,000 people. BBC News Website - Coronavirus: World in 'uncharted territory' He shouldn't be so I'm not going to make him the story, for once! However, I will just say that it is more than 'sad' that I went to a news organisation for an accurate take on the number of deaths rather than go to the US government's website. Why? I simply don't trust anything from Trump's administration and with good reason(s) (many, many of them!). Firstly, I implore anyone that is unsure of what Coronavirus is, to go and check out the W.H.O.'s website  (shown below) as it gives a good, no nonsense summary of what it is. I understand people c...
