Far-Right
Protests.
Interestingly,
there has been quite an explosive news response to both social media and
certain parts of the newspaper industry for using inflammatory language.
A long-held
contention of mine is that words carry powe…
Management
I have
always thought that Paul’s comments in the New Testament of the Bible, when
writing to the church at Corinth, are interesting. In 2 Corinthians 11:16-33, he says “I did so

Equality is Not Easy to Come By.
Did you know that there are

And So…
I arrive on
a small boat to the UK. Oh, dear, I have no documentation, so I must be illegal.

Language and
the Liniker small boats debate
