I may have lost a vote this afternoon, but if so I'm not bothered too much. While I was out delivering my election addresses I had a chat with a couple of blokes who were outside their house. There was a bit of good-natured banter about how I don't look like the photo on the […]

Not in Crawley, but in the place I grew up – Basildon. The UAF are out leafletting on Saturday and Sunday this weekend.
Anti-Nazi event in South-East London
March 20th, 2006 · 2 Comments · Politics
While the Crawley UAF may not be fully-formed yet, other areas are more active. Greenwich UAF are organising some anti-Nazi leafletting in Eltham – an area which really does have a BNP problem – for the next 5 Saturdays. If anyone is interested and can get to Eltham at 11:30 on a Saturday morning, let […]
BNP Activity in Crawley
March 18th, 2006 · Comments Off on BNP Activity in Crawley · Politics
The BNP have been delivering some especially nasty leaflets in Crawley recently. Copies have been sent to the Town Hall and to Sussex police, as some recipients feel that they are offensive enough to be illegal under electoral and normal laws.

Blink – The Power of Thinking without Thinking
March 14th, 2006 · Comments Off on Blink – The Power of Thinking without Thinking · Life
Blink is the latest book by Malcolm Gladwell, author of The Tipping Point. I can confidently say that anyone who enjoyed The Tipping Point will enjoy this one just as much because it is very similar. Gladwell’s books could almost be called ‘high concept‘ books in that the theme can be very easily explained in […]
More race riots in Sydney
December 12th, 2005 · Comments Off on More race riots in Sydney · Politics
Seeing on the news that there are race riots in Sydney for a second night running is very depressing, and it tarnishes some of my happy memories of spending time over there with my old job. I always felt there was a sort of casual racism amongst a lot of the white Australians, even if […]

Today I actually regretted my antipathy towards the phrase ‘political correctness gone mad’ as it seemed almost appropriate.
Now thats what I call indoctrination!
October 25th, 2005 · Comments Off on Now thats what I call indoctrination! · Politics
I imagine I am not the only person to find this story deeply disturbing. The story of these junior nazis was mentioned in passing on the BBC News website today as a result of being in one of the national newspapers, so I did a quick search on Google and sort of wish I hadn’t. […]
Peace march
August 7th, 2005 · Comments Off on Peace march · Politics
Today there was a peace march in Crawley, organised by some of the muslim ladies of the town. The publicity was not 100% effective, and the start time and venue had to change slightly when the police warned that the BNP were going to organise their own march, but but it still managed to attract […]
Asian Music
August 5th, 2005 · Comments Off on Asian Music · Life, Music
While I was on a late night mercy-mission drive to the all-night supermarket to pick up some painkillers for the Mrs I was listening to the Bobby Friction & Nihal show on Radio 1 (one of the replacements for John Peel) and got to thinking about Asian music. In Crawley we have about 10% of […]
