George Aiken once said “If we were to wake up some morning and find that everyone was the same race, creed and colour, we would find some other cause for prejudice by noon.” Over the past couple of weeks, I have been reading, talking and listening to a variety of comments on a number of [...]

Thomas Mann once said War is a cowardly escape from the problems of peace. I don’t much like ANZAC DAY.. too many bad memories. As I sit and reflect, my thoughts are of my grandfather, not a hero, just a simple man that embarked on an adventure 97 odd years ago.. He was wounded and [...]

I do not believe I can do justice to such a poignant event in world history without having visited and experienced for myself first hand.. I particularly want to follow the “Cross at Ground [...]

Bartrand Hubbard once said– “I’ve had a hard life, but my hardships are nothing against the hardships that my father went through in order to get me to where I started.” My dad is in his mid 80’s now.  His body is telling him it’s nearly time, but his mind remains as sharp as the [...]

Global sporting giant Adidas has been at the centre of the New Zealand All Blacks’ jersey-pricing controversy since it was revealed the replica tops could be bought from online stores overseas for a much cheaper price. In fact a fraction of the $220 that this company demands. This has outraged most people that support this [...]

I can’t help thinking back to the words of ‘Enoch Powell’. On Saturday 20 April 1968 he made the controversial speech in Birmingham, in which he warned his audience of what he believed would be the consequences of continued unchecked immigration from the Commonwealth to Britain.
