It’s with no small sense of irony that I find myself sitting and writing what I wanted to say instead of having the opportunity to address the council and my objectors in person today. It was to be argued this morning that I should not be permitted to live in an isolated way and beContinue reading “The Last Waltz”

FanDanGo…
Some good news for a change. Regular readers will remember Dan Badham, our local tree surgeon who applied for OPD 16 months ago. Today, after a committee meeting at County Hall he was unanimously granted permission to go ahead with his project. I watched the meeting online and was struck by a number of things.Continue reading “FanDanGo…”
The Truth, Crucified and Risen
I think I know why the church hid the information that the earth wasn’t the centre of the universe, and why they made Galileo shut his face up. Same reason they haven’t told us about aliens on earth yet and why they’re hiding the truth about Coronovirus. Thing is, as humans, as soon as weContinue reading “The Truth, Crucified and Risen”
Storm in a Teacup
This week, some Conservative MPs were photographed making a cup of tea and brandishing a massive bag of Yorkshire teabags. Innocuous enough you may think. The Yorkshire Tea company said that they had nothing to do with the placement. And in the olden days, I guess that would have been that. But no. This hasContinue reading “Storm in a Teacup”
Another Brick in the Wall
Let’s be honest – school is shite. Can anyone here say that they enjoyed the experience? I loved primary school, land of dressing up and paints and stories and fun assemblies and putting on little plays. But secondary. Jesus. What a nightmare. I remember standing in the biology room at the end of the day,Continue reading “Another Brick in the Wall”
The Gloves Are Off…
I got all the info from Freedom of Information the other day regarding the third party comments for my planning permission. This means I have to go reading this stuff again and it gets kind of upsetting. It’s all very similar to the objections on my appeal that are all out there for all toContinue reading “The Gloves Are Off…”
Brum Brum… Let’s Go!
Last weekend I was in Birmingham for the launch of the Worker’s Party of Britain. I’d never been to Birmingham before, except through there on a National Express bus on the way from York back home to Tenby when I was 14, so I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. What I found surprised me.Continue reading “Brum Brum… Let’s Go!”
The Enemy Within
Been a tough day. I’ve been responding to the objections to my appeal. Oof. It’s all online if you want to see. It’s interesting from an academic point of view, for many reasons; the minutiae of planning, the psychology of people, the things that get hidden, the power of the use of language, the wayContinue reading “The Enemy Within”
#Je Suis Albert Dryden
My appeal date has been decided. It will be on the 18th March at the community hall in Maenclochog at 10am. If you’d come to my funeral, then come to this instead, as that will be much more productive. Finally there is a light at the end of the tunnel. The culmination of lots ofContinue reading “#Je Suis Albert Dryden”
Rent, Boyo…
It’s the new year, and time to try to start up again after the Christmas gap. I always feel like the days between Christmas day and new year are a little like the days between the death and the funeral. But that’s not a very upbeat start to the year is it? So lets’ seeContinue reading “Rent, Boyo…”
