Been around the block, retired from education, sort of, not retired from life. Now got time for watercolour painting, riding my bike, and playing blues, though not all at the same time.
Been glory hunting with Liverpool since Shankly’s days

Lying to a public inquiry is not illegal.
This was confirmed when the trials of two policemen accused of covering up the truth about Hillsboroug, were stopped by the judge, on the grounds that the inqury wasn‘t a legal proceeding.
That’s why we need a Hillsborough law. It is to stop this happening

As we move into “foreigners are cancelling Christmas in the name of political correctness” season it’s worth remember that Christmas was indeed once banned in England, by Christians and the man who enforced the ban has a statue in his honour outside the Houses of Parliament.

Misunderstanding the tide puts millions at risk
Tidal literacy is a matter of life and death. But many people do not understand tides, and many only survive because of the rescue services

The BBC are under attack over integrity in journalism, and what do they do? They bring on one of the worst examples of it, in Kelvin Mackenzie, who lied about what happened at Hillsborough.

A man whose disgusting lies in the S*n in 1989 still hurt and wound today. And are still believed by the hard of thinking.
Yet the BBC see fit to invite this cowardly piece of antipodean detritus on air to discuss “standards”.
A far more serious error of judgment than anything about Trump.

Remember when the plastic carrier bag charge was introduced - we were told the cost was to deter us from using single use plastics?
So why are retail companies now charging us for paper carrier bags?
It’s as if they wanted to make a profit all along, from a bag that advertises their brand.
