Organised Religion. A weakness at best, a cancer within society at worst.

Organised Religion is a disease within society. One that affects clarity of thought. It prevents freethinking and forces the brain to ignore evidence, instead instilling a belief in ancient myths. It holds back the potential of human beings by dulling their perception of the world. A weakness, an illness that is forced on to children and vulnerable, uninformed adults before they have the mental capacity to resist and is perpetuated by cultural relics dressed up as traditions from an age gone by. The cure is rational thought. A diet of science, study, intelligent conversation and a willingness to accept that traditions based on ancient myths have been proved to have no basis in reality. Responsible education of the next generation, teaching facts not fiction and encouraging scepticism. Once cured, the modern world can progress towards a better future.


Radical, fundamental and extreme religions are a cancer. They preach division, hatred, regressive lies and stone age morals. They are dangerous and destroy all before them with no thought or consideration. They have to be cut out, removed from modern societies as their very existence is counter to the advancement of a moral and just community. They aggressively resist and destroy all

The scandal of single-use plastics. #NationalRefillDay

Today, June 19th 2019, is #NationalRefillDay. The UK uses 7.7 BILLION single use, plastic water bottles every year and the problem is getting greater every year. This is not and has never been sustainable. Producers need to be charged 100% for the costs of processing this mess. That way, costs will have to be passed on to consumers and that will mean a reality of choice and a move towards more sustainable products. Market forces. Companies, governments, organisations and INDIVIDUALS need to take a much more pro-active approach to this scandal. Sending our unsustainable single-use plastic waste to other countries is not a solution. Global increases in plastic use is not an option. We have no choice but to do something drastic about this, NOW. #WarOnPlastic #ReduceReuseRecycle #NationalRefillDay

There be dragons! ...Lots.

The population of China in 2014 is a staggering 1.355BILLION people. Just to put that in to context, that is more than the populations of the UK (63.7million), USA (319.5million), Russia (136.7million), France (66million), Germany (80.9million), Spain (47.7million), Ethiopia (99.94million), Egypt (86.8million) and Brazil (201.1million) COMBINED!!

With a growing population, a thirst for raw materials, unlimited low-wage labour and a massive export market, the Chinese economy is growing at close to 10% year on year. At some point soon they will overtake the USA as the major global economic force.  Add in the emerging Indian economy (1.23BILLION people!) and it is not difficult to see where the bulk of the worlds raw materials, energy needs, carbon emissions, jobs and business opportunities will be focused. Frightening.
