A Word to the Rioters

So you’re a far right radical? You believe. You know you’re right. You’re out on the streets making your point. Have you worked out yet how many millions think you’re wrong? The numbers are enormous. Maybe we should be out on the streets too, counter-protesting, but we understand the costs of that, the potential forContinueContinue reading “A Word to the Rioters”

Clear Vision

When you look at a person or situation you see from your own perspective. A perspective that may be skewed by your upbringing, friends, family, or life experience. Nowadays of course you may be being misled on social media. Other countries posting false information to destabilise societies. Interest groups posting fake news to make theirContinueContinue reading “Clear Vision”

I Visit Regularly

Describe your life in an alternate universe. Auroraborealis Imagine a beautiful blue and silver gateway floating in space. It’s in the shape of an arch with a pointed top. It shines and shimmers, it’s dynamic, energetic, and alive. A bit like the Aurora in the image, but a more defined shape. As you may imagineContinueContinue reading “I Visit Regularly”

A Better Kind of Radical

When it comes to living a collective life, the fewer people who stubbornly believe they’re right the better off we will be. Radicals are people who have attached to an idea because it makes sense to them, without ever asking others if it makes sense. Discussing, listening, asking why not, asking why it makes sense,ContinueContinue reading “A Better Kind of Radical”

Clarence: On Musk and Toddlers

So civil war is inevitable is it? Everyone is scoffing. Have you watched the news? The far right are deliberately using the terrible attack in Southport to destabilise the country, whilst their highly concerned leader sits on his sun bed abroad, quaffing alcohol, deeply thrilled by it all. What is the benefit of tearing societyContinueContinue reading “Clarence: On Musk and Toddlers”

Just for a Laugh

Life is very serious at the moment in many countries, so I’m dedicating myself to sharing as much fun as I can. Here is my first offering from a US Government site: https://www.plainlanguage.gov/resources/humor/funny-headlines/ I thought it would particularly appeal to writers to remind us that clarity can be tricky. Actually a good reminder for anyone.ContinueContinue reading “Just for a Laugh”

I Do NOT Have the Time!

Scour the news for an entirely uninteresting story. Consider how it connects to your life. Write about that. Firstly, what do you call interesting? As far as I’m concerned war and violence are entirely uninteresting to the point they should not exist. That’s the highest level of uninteresting. Politicians lying to our faces and usContinueContinue reading “I Do NOT Have the Time!”

Clarence: An odd reaction

Obviously I’ve been watching the fallout after the terrible atrocity in Southport. It’s been horrific hasn’t it?! You can’t quite take it in, not in the UK. At first I was very depressed and very angry, I’m sure you know that feeling. Such a disgusting reaction to an awful tragedy. But of course that’s justContinueContinue reading “Clarence: An odd reaction”
