  • Khamenei ruled by fear, making his progress by threats

    Iran isn’t freer until it’s free, and the absence of Ali Khamenei is not a guarantor of better times for those who feared and fled his charismatic, autocratic rule.

    His successor is not going to be far behind his way of doing things.

    Albeit international intervention may help, it’s not progress in Iranian terms because it says nothing new.

    The communication of truths or values has to be Persian, show respect for Islam, and be conducive to the public good.

    This cannot be said to be in the minds of Tehran’s ruling elite in the slightest.

    Their focus is as decided as a Conclave, producing certainties that Iranians have to live by. Their power is absolute, encroaching daily where it can get more ground.

    The results are seen in hardship, quarrelling, and low rates of growth in the economy. The setbacks are too much for many citizens.

    The fear spread by such rule has now long been a feeling deeply embedded in the life and soul of the nation.

    It will take further effort to clear a path for real Iranian freedom.

  • Who cares anymore?!

    The fact Dover is inside a Human Disaster Zone hasn’t meant a lot. The UK has no time for it.

    The rampant crime experienced in stages by people in central London has elicited zero coverage.

    The threats made to the life of Queen Elizabeth 2 herself made zero headlines at the time.

    The threats to life by multiple serious threats to our nuclear installations led to zero stories.

    It’s now a part of life in the mainstream to not know to care at all. It’s worked on but not by all.

  • The King & his people: Trooping the valour

    The Trooping the Colour event marks the King’s official birthday. It’s a chance to get close also for the general public.

    It brings out the crowds. It brings out the pride in people. This is now seen across the world. Many are proud of their customs.

    It’s a way of life however for many different communities. They see this as a formal day. They live it every other day of the year.

    The types of service we have all have a way to be recognised. This is the King’s birthday. It’s also respect for the valour of individuals.

  • The world awaits funeral of Pope Francis

    After the death Pope Francis, preparations are being made for his funeral. It’s due on Saturday, and will mark the passing of a figure who sought to guide Catholics through contemporary troubles, and controversies.

    As the 266th Pope, he served as the head of the Roman Catholic Church. His leadership focused on issues affecting all Catholics. He made inroads in Europe, and further afield, helping to bring people to understand each other.

  • Clueless theatre event (Long Play)

  • Wales has its own news

    Wales is a country that has its own population, parliament, and government. It’s a diverse and vibrant place that supports economic development, cultural pursuits, and a good lifestyle. It’s not often in the corporate news however and its elections barely register as having taken place.

    This has to change. Wales has its own news. It’s got its own functions. It’s in the throws of its own way of life. At our present time the same issues trend everywhere and in most places. Although there’s sufficient coverage of what goes on in most places, it’s not necessarily true of Wales.

  • Wimbledon in full swing

  • Pride in London
