Palm oil production contributes to the death of 25 orangutans every day and this has to stop . This is an absolutely genius campaign by Iceland to raise awareness of how the use of palm oil in our products is having a devastating effect on the habitat of the orangutan’s. […]
There’s a new study out linking the number of partners an adult has to their mother’s romantic history and The Times has titled the findings “Unlucky in love? It’s all your mother’s fault.” Apparently if you can’t hold down a steady relationship, maybe it’s time to blame your mother if […]
Do you still believe in marriage? I can’t decide and am in two minds about this. MIND ONE This is my bitter and twisted divorcee approach to life whereby I think marriage is a fucking travesty and what is the fucking point? (It swears a lot, this piece of my […]
Do your adult children still live at home with you? I’m doing a little survey because it seems that just in our lifetime the whole social structure of the modern family is changing before our eyes and I have recently had a flash of inspiration for what the future is […]
Once again, I marched on Saturday to demand a People’s Vote and this time it was bigger than ever – over 700,000 people from all over the country met up and walked and chanted side by side and the centre of London ground to a halt because of the mass […]

Of course it’s great to see a committed international response to tackling this complex challenge and to hear that this is the largest conference so far with over 80 governments […]
Today is the first anniversary of the gun massacre in Las Vegas when 58 people were killed by a lone gunman in America’s deadliest mass shooting from the Mandalay Bay hotel. Astonishing to think that Craig Paddock was capable of opening fire from the hotel on a crowd of 22,000 […]
I have spent a lot of time over the last two months slowly bubbling up with indignation and fury at the woeful lack of continuity in my mother’s hospital care and trying to work out how we fix our NHS. She has been in three different NHS hospitals over that […]
