Posted on Sun, 26 Jun 2022
A very thought provoking and quite sad poem. You deal with some very real issues here. Capitalism is like a machine that does not stop, for good or ill. We need to control it and its effects ideally. Let us hope we do not all become surplus to...

I do like the way you updated
Posted on Thu, 23 Jun 2022
I do like the way you updated the story of the horses into a future where the artificial intelligences are proving far more reliable and useful than the real humans, who have managed to score a massive own goal by creating a future in which they...

I like what you have done
Posted on Thu, 02 Jun 2022
I like what you have done with the imagery of 'Wizard Of Oz'. It's a great story/fantasy, but like all the best such tales it can be used to symbolise so much of the problems, hopes and dreams of our real world! I like the way you have updated...

I like the way you have
Posted on Sat, 04 Jun 2022
I like the way you have contrasted the Queen's 70 years of kind, understanding and supportive service to Putin's despotic carelessness for human life. At this moment in history that is a very important and stark contrast, between humane service...

I enjoyed your poem relating
Posted on Sat, 14 May 2022
I enjoyed your poem relating the old story nicely! It is a great story, which can be used as a moral tale, and as a speculation about what could have happened to the children! I seem to remember reading that quite a few German cities/towns claim...

I was able to read this piece
Posted on Mon, 09 May 2022
I was able to read this piece one day on the holiday I have just been on, but couldn't really use the internet most of the time. I was very relieved to hear your son is okay and is safely home. I found your piece very informative and illuminating...

I did enjoy this continuation
Posted on Thu, 21 Apr 2022
I did enjoy this continuation of your Pointless saga, and Boris's continued lucky escape. It is nice to know that the French Revolution hasn't actually finished yet, but I think Boris has far more than 9 lives! He is a miracle man, who, just when...

Vladimir Plutinpot must have
Posted on Fri, 22 Apr 2022
Vladimir Plutinpot must have one of the thickest skins known amongst the currently living human race. Most ordinary folks like us would be quite embarassed to be causing so many people so much pain and suffering without good enough reason! To...

I did enjoy this very funny
Posted on Mon, 18 Apr 2022
I did enjoy this very funny exagerated satire. It is a good series, and I feel I know the real Boris a lot better now. I am wondering whether Priti could be becoming the real power behind the throne of Boris? (Maybe she can use her charms on Mr...

Posted on Fri, 15 Apr 2022
Wow! This is very good Di Hard. An allegory which shows the current conflict in Ukraine and the world, in a very intelligent way. I am pretty sure I know who the Clever King is, very topical, but there are a few candidates for who the Richest Man...
