Total Film article from May 2009

This made my day – even if the article is over a year old!

I’m Alright, Jack

With thanks to Alan Gibbons for publicising this (taken from Alan’s Facebook page): 

‘Lord Ashcroft has allegedly got the Tories to promise £100 million to build an airstrip on St Helena, the island 1,200 miles from the African coast which has only 4,000 people.  So, at a time when other departments are cutting 25-40% from budgets we can waste all that money on a small village where we once held Napoleon Bonaparte.’

What I find most appalling is not the fact that Lord Ashcroft and his fellow Tories are doing this – that’s to be expected -  but the fact that they appear to be getting away with it with very little  dissent.      

Bob Marley’s words about standing up for our rights ring out more keenly than ever.

Boys Don’t Cry

My new book – Boys Don’t Cry – is out on 28th October.

Hello world!

Hi Everyone, 

This is going to be a bit rough and ready for a while until I get used to it, so please be patient.  This will be the new site for my blogs which I hope to update on a regular basis.

Peace.
