We live in interesting times, for sure. The whole world is changing; nothing is as it was even forty years ago… Rainforests are lost to us; gone are flora and fauna that may have saved lives. Animal species have become extinct, even more are under threat. We have sophisticated weaponry; ‘surgical’ striking M51 nuclear missiles, [...]

There was a small but effective gathering of people in Buchanan St on Thursday, raising awareness of the siege of Gaza – just one of many small and large groups around the UK who immediately responded to the plight of the Palestinian people, who once again find themselves under attack.

Amidst campaigning politicians across the pond, Forbes online posted “The Lost Soul of Mick Romney” – the content of which discusses the media opportunity seized by Romney’s team to criticise the Obama administration. To me it’s just another point-scoring match where the important stuff gets lost. Irrespective of who’s to blame for this or that, [...]

If you’re reading this the chances are, you’ve already read Ayahuasca, A Very Personal Journey, [...]

The second half of the programme begins with Liz Bonnin telling us “the more challenges animals face, the more intelligent they become”. Studies of mountain chickadees from Nevada show that they’re more creative and better problem solvers than their counterparts from elsewhere in the US where the climate is better and food is less scarce, [...]

Some time ago, in 2003 I was arrested; I was taken into police custody at Faslane Nuclear Base for protesting about the use of nuclear weapons while I was attending a rally with an old friend and seasoned campaigner, who is mostly confined to a wheelchair due to his medical condition.
