This post is inspired by a couple of Facebook posts I’ve seen in the wake of the horrific attack on Drummer Lee Rigby, posts that said that all Muslims should be removed from the country. Posts that ignored the fact that people attack people; not those of specific gender, colour or religion, just people. Removing [...]
People are dying because they can’t afford to eat. People are homeless because they can’t afford rent. People are suffering because of the healthcare postcode lottery.

Oh how long have I waited to join in with Ranty Friday! Since I found out about it I’ve been wanting to but for some reason I haven’t felt ranty lately! But today I do. Today of all day’s, being International Women’s Day, I needed to get it all off my chest. So prepare your [...]

I’ve been in France… *counts on fingers*… about 6 weeks now, and the amount of Brits, who have been here far longer, and have made diddly squat effort to speak French is driving me doolally!
