Sorry , But I’m gonna shatter a few myths and give you nothing but the facts…The truth is that its good , bad and ugly with all of that freedom, chaos and romance thrown in. I frankly don’t care if I piss off a few people along the way… they gotta get with the programme and make Afri... read more

I had an interesting conversation yesterday with a man who seemed to know a lot about whats going on here in Zanzibar. He said- " The zanzibar ferry disasters could easily have been prevented had the boats not been overloaded and more onboard lifesaving equipment been available." Did you know the final tally for the first disaster of the ferry that sunk off the coast of Pemba just after ramidan two years ago...WAS MORE THAN THE TITANIC DISASTER!... 1972 people perished from a tally of over 2 200 people. That is incredible. And it was hardly even reported in the world press. To this day the vice president of Tanzania - Who is also the president of zanzibar- has said: " it was the will of God!"... Perhaps. But ... read more

" OUT OF SOMETHING BITTER , COMES SOMETHING SWEET!" President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe is a genious - but he doesnt know it...it is because of him that Zimbabweans have the opportunity to travel the world and get extra skills, a job, and security. Dr. Edward de bono wrote a book called " Lateral Thinking" he stated : where theres a hole find a mountain to fill it!" To the world we can say Robert has systematicaly destroyed his country... but to africans living in zimbabwe we can say this... " because of uncle bob... you have the opportunity to go to any country in the world and claim politcal asylum... By creating a crashed econmy with 100 billion doallr notes and 80% unemployment...by throwing the farmers of their land and destroying the agricultural base... by ... read more

iTS TIME TO BANG UP A BANKER! These thieves, these criminals... these liars have abused the britsh people long enough. Why in america when a banker or broker does something blatantly , intentionally greedy, illegal and wrong...do they get banged up? ...it is simple... because people will NOT stnd for it...they just wont. Its been banana, pineapple and coconut for too long for these guys... get this: at the oriental restaurant ...on one table... between 4 or 5 bankers... 32 000 was spent on wine consumed in one night... and what is the excuse?- we are being rewrded for what we do...! and we are spreading the money into the economy. is this right? it sounds to me like the french revolution... just when we had thought they had learned their lesson from 2008... we find ... read more

The question of what good does the olympic games do to the world is a good one. I for one shal boycott this olympic games because I see through the hype and understand it is just a distraction. The establishment has been caught red handed with its pants down... again!... just like in the days of the roman emperors... and how did they placate the masses?... GAMES!...:GIVE THEM GAMES!" So the public are being hoodwinked yet again to believe that the Olypic games - like the queens jubillee will make the least bit of difference. It wont. Its a good distraction but it does nothing to tackle the real problems in society. I hope david cameron will get off his butt and do something about these rogue bankers... and rogue politcians who continue to act irresponsbly ... read more

Today I was privildeged to see aung sang suu kyi give her nobel acceptance speech and her big thank you to the people of Norway. It really touched my heart to see this champion of non violence and the " mother of democracy " speak to beautifully.Perhaps she should be nicknamed aung sang woooo instead of sue... because shes got the wooo factor...when it comes to peace and democracy activism... ok she was confined to a golden cage but it was a cage... nelson mandela did hard time... busting rocks... but if we look at her life she went through her personal sacrifices and tragedies...all for the sake of the liberation struggle... and now today it was june 16th... the only ones happy were the ones with a day off work...paid... but we shud remind ourselves ... read more

Its late at night so please excuse this hasty blog. I thought to myself...you know what...Ive kept silent about this subject for 4 years ... I was called many names for trying to come up with different theories about what happened to Madeleine McCann. I even managed to speak to Richard Branson for 8 minutes and 26 seconds...at the time I said...I believe the McCanns were INNOCENT of the disappearance of their daughter...(he gave 100 000 pounds the next day to the Madeleine McCann legal fund) But Ive had time to think whilst I was in the clink surrounded by the worst kind of sex offenders you can possibly imagine...(thats a whole different story for another time) I've analysed it carefully the whole case from beginning to end and Ive got a new opion on the ... read more
