Thought on peace and religion

It's not the subtraction of faith that will make the world more peaceful; it's the addition of love.

Anger

£293,000 was saved fitting cheap flammable cladding to 122 flats but only 71 people were lost in the 24 storey fiery grave. You have to burn inside...

On Ownership

Posted on Wed, 13 Dec 2017

I felt the only person who got bitten by this story, as someone who is mixed race, was me.

The kids in this story are not the grotesques of satire; not obviously ridiculous; they are cheeky likeable scamps and the butt of most of the jokes...

Philip, a generation of black

Philip, a generation of black authors, post colonial authors like Linton Kwesi Johnson, emmerged in response to writing like this that portrayed black characters as ciphers and only gave a voice to white characters.

If you read this story...

Posted on Wed, 13 Dec 2017

Shockingly, Phillip, there are people who would read this story and not realize there was anything absurd about the child protagonists attitude unless it was pointed out by a white character or one of the black characters could express themselves...

Posted on Wed, 13 Dec 2017

You say: "I don't think the story is racist, but draws attention to the casual racism of that era".

Does it really draw attention to it or does it just depict it without comment or condemnation or the balance the story would have if a...

Elsie. Who are the readers of this story? Any person in the world could read the story on the internet. I can't claim with any certainty to know what is in the mind of everyone who reads this story or how they interpret the story.

Parson thru.

I've read this 5 times

Posted on Wed, 13 Dec 2017

I've read this 5 times now and I think that, perhaps not all, but alot of non-white people are going to be uncomfortable reading this.

A punk protest poem that runs

Posted on Fri, 16 Dec 2016

A punk protest poem that runs amok upon the page swinging a baseball bat of invective.
