Weinstein For Dummies
Reading Time: 5 minutes I feel really sorry for all the victims of Harvey Weinstein’s sexual assaults. All that these naive little girls wanted to do, is talk with him about culture. It was just unfortunate that if you happen to be a woman, he immediately gets the urge to unzip his trousers. There’s an old saying that […]

Adam And Eve Fell In Love, and Humanity Showed Up
Reading Time: 4 minutes I have never shown much enthusiasm for the royal family, and the latest royal wedding was no exception.

Theresa May Is Undermining Citizens’ Rights
Reading Time: 4 minutes During her recent visit to China, Theresa May has trampled on EU citizens’ rights, as well as evading the question of human rights in China.

Would You Accept A Transgender Person As Your Secretary?
Reading Time: 7 minutes Erratum – I have been correctly told – “correctly”, because that’s the way it is (is it the way it should be?) – that the word “transgender” without the term “person”, should not be used.
