Posted on Fri, 24 Dec 2021
I read this to my wife this morning with our first cup of tea in bed, my first full reading of it, and we both enjoyed it. I like the way you have turned Boris into Scrooge with the ghosts of christmases, past, present and future. Mrs Thatcher...

Posted on Wed, 29 Dec 2021
I have suspended my Christmas chill-out to read this contemplative and sad poem! (briefly!) But you do have the feelings of the graveyard here perfectly. We must try to remember our dead as we would hope to be remembered ourselves. It occurs to...

Posted on Fri, 10 Dec 2021
This reminds me of holidays I have been on, and observations to be made on them. It is very funny, and familiar too. I like the way you observe the characters, all from their particular regions or backgrounds, and then realise that some of them...

Posted on Tue, 07 Dec 2021
I did enjoy your poem when I first read it before, but the music, speech, and video certainly put another slant on it! It feels like an Englishman, or Yorkshireman's take on life, matters of taste and personal choice, but even more humourous with...

This really is a great explanation and summary of what is taking place in people smuggling, and in desperate migration, and it happens not only in the English Channel but in various places around the world. As an appreciation of what so many must...

Interesting and evocative snapshot of life in Bulgaria. It sounds like it has plenty of character, and perhaps more variety or surprises than places that have been capitalist or western for longer?

I enjoyed the story and have now finished it. I am glad to see that justice was served! I feel it would make a great film, as you have supplied much of the visual description, which could be translated into a great moody film. As you say it was...
