Why do we celebrate New Years? Is it because it has been a great year? Is it because it has been a bad year? Or is it because you feel that you have to because you went out last year, or three years ago, or once when you were 16 at a pub underage and [...]

Our Constitution and our Uniform Code of Military Justice provide a framework for dealing with the terrorists.” The words of then-Senator Barack Obama in August 2007, making a promise he would repeat often during his successful presidential campaign, [...]

While some friends decided that hiking Mount Kenya was a suitably relaxing way to spend the Independence Day weekend (yet another excuse for Kenyans to take a day off work) we decided that hitting the coast was a better way to end the year. With this in mind we boarded the very colonial Nairobi-Mombasa train. [...]

The title of this blog says it all really. Yes, Jeremy Clarkson is an overpaid fool who thinks he is much more amusing than he actually is. Unfortunately, the BBC and millions of Top Gear viewers agree, and thus he is incessantly wheeled out in order to make some kind of outrageous remark that will [...]

Living in Kenya means World Aids Day has a particular resonance to me this year. With 7.1 percent of adults between the ages of 15 and 49 infected with HIV, the country is at the forefront of the global battle against the disease. Indeed, the impact of HIV/AIDS has always been at its most devastating [...]

What a disgrace. No I’m not referring to Jeremy Clarkson’s comments on The One Show last night, saying that he would take all public sector workers “… outside and execute them in front of their families.” No, its whats happened afterwards that is a disgrace.

One could almost feel sorry for George Osborne as he faced the House of Commons to deliver his bleak autumn statement, knowing he was about to paint a dismal picture of the British economy and undermine his own claims of competency in handling its problems. That is, if one was able to forget that he [...]

You know that the Olympics are around the corner when you’ve seen your 4657475th Cadburys and Lloyds TSB advert. Right now though London needs to get its act together. We’ve got the biggest celebration happening on our doorsteps in literally months and we’re acting like cynical bastards. You can’t blame us really. Right now all [...]

A few years ago, I had the opportunity to attend a press conference with Tony Blair during the UK’s Presidency of the Council of the EU. I remember being struck by his enthusiasm and charisma, along with a sense of the whirlwind around him wherever he went. The immediately obvious contrasts with the sedate, statesmanlike Major [...]

Occasionally in our lives we lose it. We start talking to animals. You realise that work in either your degree or in life is actually fun. You put Cheerios in the microwave, or you advocate that a spinoff programme from a outdated talent contest is one of the best programmes you have ever seen in an [...]
