You may be right that now is not the time for Muslims to object to being bashed over the head for their alleged hatred of freedom in response to the actions of two or three criminals… Conversely, you might argue that now is not the time for journalists, columnists and politicians to debate the fate …
The way British journalists talk about Freedom of Expression, you’d think they had never picked up a book on Publishing Law. The copy on my bookshelf lists a vast range of exclusions, though perhaps even the author could not have forseen the broad restrictions added in the decade and a half since publication. In Britain, …
I’m sorry, but the reporting and commentary on the BBC news this evening was shocking. Knowing nothing about the identity of the attackers, we learn that France must ask itself whether it has got its approach to immigration right. Now rolling commentary on communal tensions. But who’s to say the perpetrators aren’t natives, self radicalised …
There’s nothing new about these insecurities. Perhaps what’s different is that the folklore of this generation – the standard narrative in novels, films, TV shows and magazines – provides a hopeless caricature of relationships, reducing them to animalistic mating rituals: man and woman meet in a bar/restaurant/post-nuclear holocaust/alien invasion, and an hour later jump into …
Open your eyes. Illegal attempts to enter UK are on the rise because civil unrest is on the rise. Turkey is hosting 1.7 million Syrian refugees; Lebanon is hosting 1.3 million. The UK is legally hosting 100.

When you donate by SMS, you get a follow up call from a “professional fundraising company” who will do everything possible to convince you to set up a standing order (because that’s how they get paid). I understand that charities have to …
I notice people only answer the question when they see a business opportunity.

Look, if I had as much money as you two Irish rockers, I probably wouldn’t release a Christmas single to raise some cash for charity right now. How much money do you two actually need to live on? Most of us families of four get by on about £1500 a month. Oh insanely rich superstar, …
What we really need is balance. If all the good people withdraw, fearing harm or evil, the voices of negativity and hatred will only be amplified and all the more pervasive. Good people need to make themselves heard, felt and known.
Our senses, notably our eyes and ears, are gateways to our hearts. In an interview, recorded just hours before his execution in 1989, serial killer Ted Bundy, spokes of the pervasive influence exposure to extreme, violent pornography had on him. While not abdicating responsibility for his actions, he nevertheless acknowledged the power of an addictive force. It is …
