Aaron Ramsey & Stoke City: The (Im)Morality Of...

Aaron Ramsey & Stoke City: The (Im)Morality Of Football In the way of the Olympics, football (or if you rather association football/soccer) has taken a bit of a battering both from fans, non-fans and the media. It’s unsurprising; football, after all, is made up at the highest level of overpaid moaning… View Post shared via WordPress.com

Oh Dear..

So there I was sitting at my computer thinking it would be good to blog about that idea the other day. Then I realised. Why am I not bloggging it? After all, the aim of blog (at least this one) is purely to get an opinion out there; I’m not looking for… View Post shared via WordPress.com

London 2012: Why All The Empty Seats?

Here’s a piece I wrote about the ticketing and empty seat fiasco of London 2012, how Locog are partly to blame and it will tarnish the games’ legacy if it not solved… 4 years ago, the British media (& no doubt the public behind) mocked Beijing’s Olympics; “Ha! They might of had a great opening ceremony, but look at all those empty seats. Shocking; you won’t see that here”. Okay, so that...

Too busy enjoying the sun to watch the news? No worries; here’s this week’s polifix with a North Korean coup, a potential world war three and a racist ice cream filling up the headlines. Oh, and there’s some nakedness in there as well.

Carr, Cameron’s Hypocrisy & The Morality Of Tax...

One week on, the Carr tax-avoidance scandal has gone away; the problem has not. With beautiful views of the French Alps, ski resorts aplenty and the world’s third highest life expectancy; Lake Geneva, Switzerland is a pretty good place to live. The rich and famous clearly think so – Shania Twain, Phil Collins, Michael Schumacher, Boris Becker, Roger Moore and Ingvar Kamprad (Ikea Founder) are...

"Boy Band Jihad: One Direction Mega Pop Star... →

Wow….”And the scary thing is that millions of girls in America and around the world are infatuated with the members of One Direction, including Malik. He’s no dummy. He knows the power he has over these mindless girls and is using that influence to preach the Islamic faith to them and try to convert them. It’s dangerous. And there’s a reason he tweeted that he didn’t have a girlfriend...

The 'Olympic Bonus' Bus Strike Make No Sense

Why The Bus Strikes Over a Olympic Bonus Make No Sense… I have to say its difficult to be claim to be a socialist or left-wing and then be against strikes or Union action. Most people, from both sides of the political spectrum, would say that it shows a degree of conflict. Perhaps that is why I am a somewhat… View Post shared via WordPress.com
