The BBC needs to remain mostly untouched. I say mostly as there are issues with bureaucracy . Looking back a few years, I distinctly recall the trauma of learning about bureaucracy in my first semester of first year. Ahhhh. Bureaucracy! Some slimming needs to take place. Any organisation needs to focus in on its own […]
I welcome the 5p charge on plastic bags in English supermarkets. If only it were more than 5p. From today, shops employing over 250 people, a plastic bag will not be given away freely but a charge of 5p will be enforced as The Single Use Carrier Bags Charges Order 2015 comes in. If only it […]
I am very disappointed at the BBC’s decision to end its contract with the Met Office. A middle finger to this decision.

What? As a matter […]
Hello, Yesterday evening, at around 5.40pm I was hit whilst cycling along the A45. I was knocked off my bicycle by a van travelling at about 65mph. The wing mirror clipped me and flung me into the grass verge. My glasses were knocked off but luckily I wasn’t knocked out. My head was painful […]
Today David Cameron pledged to give the British public ‘their say’ on our membership of the European Union. It was promised that it would be held before 2018. Excellent! I hear you say. Well, if you are a Eurosceptic. No, if you are a Europhile. What?! I hear you say. If we think back […]
Hello, Last night I was experiencing editing issues. And I have uploading issues. So yesterday’s vlog is appearing today. Here is it: Samuel.
