    What are governments for?

    We had a solidarity gathering at Hastings Station – for – well, do you remember them? “They” are our essential workers. “They” are, essentially, us. But, since more and more trade unions have announced industrial action due to the neglect and underpayment of essential workers, the newspapers and our government have been trying to tell […]

    I’ve voted Tory all my life…

    … said a man who took a leaflet about the strikes the other day. On the RMT picket line this morning, we were discussing the mainstream media, how at best, they do “BBC balance”, showing you one person who does, and one who doesn’t, support the workers’ actions to force the government to do something […]

  •  On being disinformed

     On being disinformed

    ***Long read*** For most of the last decade, despite my determination to live effectively in the real world, I have been repeatedly drawn into apparently intractable battles of words. It’s not just me, either. I’ve lost count of the number of people who’ve told me they’ve given up on politics entirely because “it’s all so […]

    Nobody knows in America…

    …Puerto Rico’s in America! You probably remember that song from West Side Story. By the time Sondheim had put together enough lyrics for the original version of the fast-moving theme-song of ‘The Sharks’, he’d accused Puerto Rico of everything from ugliness and tropical diseases through hurricanes to a population problem. The song is discussed in […]

    History in the making…

    Adult Human Female: a documentary in defence of women’s rights I am humbly asking all my friends, comrades and readers of my blog to please do something for me. I am one of the many people, mostly women, who have been slandered, abused and disadvantaged in the last few years, for calling out those who […]

  • Ha ha! Here’s proof the left are far-right!

    Ha ha! Here’s proof the left are far-right!

    If I was going to be really bitchy… well alright, I am going to be a bit wicked. Here’s why… Some years ago now, a group of trade unionist women got together to deal with the blatantly obvious clash between Stonewall’s advocacy of sex self-ID and women’s legal rights. (I think now everyone’s seen what’s […]

  • We know what we want

    We know what we want

    In fact, we know what we NEED. There was a well-attended march and rally today, 19th November, from Hastings Pier to the town centre. The march was led by a group of nurses, bearing the Hastings Demands a Pay Rise banner. Talking to the protesters gathering at the pier, I was told that nurses and […]

  • The Subject of Desire

    The Subject of Desire

    I always hate it when a “sexuality” question turns up in all those random forms you have to fill in. Even when you get past “do I want to tell you this,” you still have the problem of what to put – is a bi woman lesbian when she has a female partner? Is she […]

    Even their Christmas parties are evil

    ***Long read, but URGENT and IMPORTANT*** This is an article about our NHS, and the point I hope to make is that ALL THE POLITICAL PARTIES must be recognised as the destroyers of our NHS. If we are to save this precious service, we need to think carefully: If you are not poor, or vulnerable, […]

  • I’m not that fussed how you vote

    I’m not that fussed how you vote

    If the last few years have proved anything, it is that we have problems with the operators in all our political parties, the difference is, we have manipulative, selfish billionaires mostly driving the Conservative Party and manipulative, selfish millionaires everywhere else. First, vote… That doesn’t mean, however, that voting doesn’t matter. It’s not going to […]
