Bigotry in Broadfield?

May 31st, 2012 · 1 Comment · Politics

I’m hearing some worrying things from my old stamping ground of Broadfield. Apparently the sunday school at the church there has some sort of letter condemning homosexuals that they are trying to get the children to sign. It all sounds a bit brainwashy to me, but then so does the whole idea of sunday school […]

Liberal-baiting

December 8th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Life

I don’t know if Brian Gardner of Pound Hill is a real person or just a name the Crawley News made up as part of an attempt to bait liberals (with a small l).  It would appear that there was a story in last week’s paper where somebody said they were gay but they don’t […]

Gay Poland

April 27th, 2007 · 1 Comment · Politics

I have to admit that when I saw the headline in the paper “Not in society’s interests to have more gay people, say Polish PM” my first thought was what’s he going to do about it? Stop them reproducing? After reading the article it appears they are just getting round to their Jenny Lives with […]

Local Knowledge

December 12th, 2006 · 1 Comment · Life

Something else I learned today is exactly what the establishment called Pleasuredrome is. It is tucked away under an arch beneath Waterloo East station and is just a glass door with no clue as to what it is, beyond having a slightly suggestive name. At work we thought it might be an obscure and tiny […]

Throwbacks?

August 30th, 2006 · Comments Off on Throwbacks? · Politics

I found this story in today’s paper totally amazing. Apparently some firefighters in Scotland are facing disciplinary hearings because they refused to hand out fire safety leaflets at the Glasgow gay pride march. Just when it looked like things were getting better and we might be starting to grow up as a society. One of […]

Hughes again

January 27th, 2006 · Comments Off on Hughes again · Politics

I’m just making up for being just about the last person to hear about all this. I was busy all day at work. Didn’t even check the BBC news site or look up at the Sky news displayed on our projector screen. After working late I came home and went out almost immediately to a […]

Enough about Hughes – spare a thought for Branigan and Bennett!

January 26th, 2006 · Comments Off on Enough about Hughes – spare a thought for Branigan and Bennett! · Politics

Yes I have some sympathy for Simon Hughes. What he gets up to is his own business and good luck to him. I have always had a dislike of him stemming from the Bermondsey by-election and the treatment of Peter Tatchell. However, I didn’t know until reading it here that Tatchell himself accepts that Hughes […]

The pink pound

January 24th, 2006 · Comments Off on The pink pound · Life

If it is in the Guardian it must be true. Or must it? Unlikely as it might seem, gay men and women apparently earn £10,000 more than straight men and women. It does not fit in with most gays and lesbians I know. A lot have had more disposable income through having double-income households and […]

Lesbian Witch-hunt

August 25th, 2005 · Comments Off on Lesbian Witch-hunt · Life

It sounds like it should be a title in my What A Great Name For A Band blog, but its referring to this story from the Guardian the other day. I am surprised that it has not attracted more comment as its quite a disgraceful tale about the lengths the RAF went to in the […]
