I am also a miserable twisty faced Nothern malcontent, who hates paperwork and bureaucracy and all that goes with it. Which is probably why I don’t work for the Government any more.

Nightmare Trump Departs | The End of Trumpism

With Trump finally leaving office I asked some Trump fans to write with their view on his Presidency.   None took up the offer, so I thought I would write something myself, a sequel to my blog on Nightmare Trump Art: There are lots of ways you can categorise politicians; left and right, liberal or… Read More Nightmare Trump Departs | The End of Trumpism

Best of 2020 | TV, Film, Radio

Best of 2020 | Books

Like most people I spent a lot of time reading this year, even though it was hard to concentrate at times.
