The US political ‘status quo’ is what is standing in the way of change, not systemic racism.
Ending what’s now gone on to be a now five-part blogging vent-fest about BlackLivesMatter, it’s important we talk about change. Change comes in many forms. If you’re a reasonably young, university-educated person, chances are you’re automatically seeing your change come in the form of your ‘woke’ upper/middle class, university-educated peers striving to be the most intersectional in their quest to (or at least to be seen to) appease their peers and the BLM crowd. Continue reading The US political ‘status quo’ is what is standing in the way of change, not systemic racism.
This new phenomenon of ‘Positive Profiling’ is the beginning of a societal regression for the black community
Whilst running on the theme of the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement, it might be worth turning our attention to the latest ‘woke’, social justice warrior’s contribution to societal betterment. It’s something that can only be called ‘Positive Profiling’ (hope that’s not already been coined). But despite the onset of good intentions, it’s every bit as discriminatory, insidious and borderline racist as the very backwards ideologues they often seek to condemn through Continue reading This new phenomenon of ‘Positive Profiling’ is the beginning of a societal regression for the black community
#BlackLivesMatter is in danger of missing opportunities for real change – we need to regroup
As the latest racial war begins to reach a fever pitch, we’ve seen a radical new wave of attempts to enforce change with charged rhetoric and trot out racial doctrine in which those on the ‘right side of history’ will conform with no challenge or question of validity. Like every movement, it draws scrutiny – and rightly so! Continue reading #BlackLivesMatter is in danger of missing opportunities for real change – we need to regroup
The Forgotten Blacks – How an emerging conformist ideology is leaving allies behind
Diversity. The word we’re told we need. The word we’re told to accept, encourage, and explore and rightly so! Yet still, amongst the latest justified outrage over the unlawful killing of George Floyd and the under-sentencing of Derrick Shauvin, the veil has been lifted on the marked assault on intellectual diversity. Continue reading The Forgotten Blacks – How an emerging conformist ideology is leaving allies behind
The death of George Floyd is a true tragedy – but let’s not let hysteria fuel this dangerous narrative
Shocking footage emerged of four police officers ‘arresting’ 46-year-old George Floyd from Minneapolis; one of them can be seen kneeling on his neck and crushing his airways in the damning video clip. This has set Twitter and social media ablaze with controversy and has firmly re-ignited the police brutality debate which, has seemingly become a bi-monthly occurrence these days. Continue reading The death of George Floyd is a true tragedy – but let’s not let hysteria fuel this dangerous narrative
The Conservative government’s failure of Britain’s care homes
As we’re approaching the tail end of the virus outbreak now, the claws are out as a new wave of politicization nears its peak. Amongst the fallout of the recent Dominic Cummings scandal, his excursion trips up to Durham is the perfect cover (at least temporarily) to mask the dismal performance in Britain’s care homes. Continue reading The Conservative government’s failure of Britain’s care homes
Why guilt is the most self-destructive emotional response
Many emotions sting, divide, confuse and can leave you incapacitated; unable to do things you would normally enjoy on any given day. However, no other emotion is as destructive to the human cognitive psyche than guilt. Continue reading Why guilt is the most self-destructive emotional response
Middle class elitism rears its ugly head over the latest immigration bill
With home secretary, Priti Patel and the rest of the Conservative party getting lambasted by the left over their latest House of Commons victory of the resurged immigration bill, it’s prompted the middle class ‘remainiac’ crowd to go on the attack. Continue reading Middle class elitism rears its ugly head over the latest immigration bill
Breaking the cycle – Confronting your mental health issues head on
Everyone has some mental health issues or personal problems in their cognitive processes – no matter how radiant your friend’s social media accounts are with positivity. All of us have some form of insecurity, anger, anxiety or detrimental character trait we’d rather not have. It’s about how you gear yourself up to tackle the challenge of acceptance, planning and implementation of a cognitive program that dictates whether you’ll be happy in the long run.

We need to begin reopening the country! – A personal anecdote for a loss of purpose
Jobs are important. They provide purpose, goals and structure. Our modern capitalist society rewards people for thinking of others, as monetary gain doesn’t simply come from thinking about ones self. Not only are they lifelines to provide physical amenities but they help you meet people, forge friendships and develop skills. Even those jobs deemed ‘dead-end’ jobs are enjoyed by many because of companionships that are formed and purpose it brings.
