The Anti-Politician: Super-injunctions, Twitter and Ryan Giggs
http://theanti-politician.blogspot.com/2011/05/super-injunctions-twitter-and-ryan.html
Friday, 27 May 2011. Super-injunctions, Twitter and Ryan Giggs. I really could care less what the tabloids have to say about the social or private life of celebrities. For many years, I have bought none of the smaller sheets except the ‘Daily Mail’ for this very reason. Why do I care which rock star is getting his end away with which model? Who gives a toss if some film star drank too much champagne in a bar? Will it affect my life? Will it influence the war on terror? How a newspaper columnist and bests...

The Anti-Politician: The Greenfyre strikes back
http://theanti-politician.blogspot.com/2011/01/greenfyre-strikes-back.html
Saturday, 15 January 2011. The Greenfyre strikes back. Greenfyre - the man who "doesn't debate" - does not take criticism as well as he hands it out and has responded to the deconstruction in my previous post. Unlike Greenfyre, I allow people right of criticism so his original comments are welcome and untouched. Now let's respond. My previous article was long so I'll make this rebuttal as quick as possible. I) In that whole long screed you can't accurately quote and link a single specific. That he exists...

The Anti-Politician: April 2010
http://theanti-politician.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, 15 April 2010. Trouble in Thailand - the complete idiot's guide. Thailand has been in the international spotlight yet again over the last few weeks as the latest round of political violence reached a head. The latest conflict is simply part of a cycle that threatens to continue for some years yet, until certain other events will either quash it, or take it to a whole new level. Each time the violence is shown on international TV, well-meaning people ask me and my fellow expats: "Are you OK?

The Anti-Politician: July 2010
http://theanti-politician.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, 22 July 2010. Climate Change - still no evidence it's humans. It was an event so remarkable that it was almost lost on some people. Dr Phil Jones - the professor at the centre of the East Anglia CRU " Climategate. Scandal - was allowed. But really, who cares? Investigations did their job, the media went crawling back to every scientist who assured us climate change is real and the sceptics became the pantomime villains once again. Certainty was restored. Next time you hear someone preaching abo...

The Anti-Politician: On nuclear energy and the crisis in Japan
http://theanti-politician.blogspot.com/2011/03/on-nuclear-energy-and-crisis-in-japan.html
Thursday, 17 March 2011. On nuclear energy and the crisis in Japan. In keeping with my tendency to take on challenges, I now want to try and set the record straight regarding nuclear fuel, nuclear energy and the uproar that has surrounded it following the start of the ongoing crisis in Japan. It almost goes without saying that the events in Japan were truly tragic, and I can only begin to imagine the pain felt by the Japanese people. My heart goes out to all who have suffered. Nuclear energy is the only ...

The Anti-Politician: Ghost lab or ghost sham?
http://theanti-politician.blogspot.com/2011/01/ghost-lab-or-ghost-sham.html
Monday, 31 January 2011. Ghost lab or ghost sham? Sam is a student of mine. He's the son of two medical doctors and when other kids are playing with toys or blowing their pals to pieces on some online computer game, Sam is usually busy reading about the latest advances in science. At the age of nine, this boy can name all the layers of the atmosphere (how many of us can do that? One recent morning I was discussing a fairy tale with the class. The topic of magic came up. " Do you believe in magic? The pro...

The Anti-Politician: The case for boycotting the World Cup
http://theanti-politician.blogspot.com/2010/12/case-for-boycotting-world-cup.html
Monday, 6 December 2010. The case for boycotting the World Cup. Qatar's World Cup record (en.wikipedia.org). This thesis statement is only going to be relevant to you, the reader, if you believe as I do that the World Cup bids for 2018 and 2022 were dishonest, corrupt and just plain bad. Why would a boycott work? Perhaps the great Gary Lineker said. Let's make it worth having again. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I write on various topics including Teaching, Thai politics, UK politics and other topi...

The Anti-Politician: June 2010
http://theanti-politician.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 1 June 2010. The problem with the EDL. I do not pretend to be knowledgeable or even well informed about the English Defence League. The group were formed after I left the UK and the main source of detail I receive is from Facebook groups or minor newspaper articles. However, even with such a trickle of knowledge, I had a hunch from very early on that there is more ton this group than meets the eye. Around the nation, receiving lots of hits on their website. That did the rounds online and in the ...
