So let’s consider the facts. Dude, aka Professor Nutt (yes the universe has a sense of irony), thinks that the government are not being as honest as they should be on drugs policy. In steps Alan Johnson the Home Secretary who sacks Nutty Professor (sorry couldn’t help it) for stepping over the line when [...]

Culture | Black vs White Intelligence. Again!
Posted in Opinion, tagged bell curve, culture, intelligence, iq, Race on October 18, 2009 | 3 Comments »
One of the most popular posts on my blog has been about the race and IQ. Since as early as I can remember there have been some very interesting debates around this issue and it still raises as much passion as ever.
Channel 4 are going to starting a series discussing issues around race. The leading [...]
Youth | Just Give Teenagers Some Space
Posted in Opinion, tagged growing up, teenagers, youth on August 7, 2009 | 1 Comment »
This weekend sees a technology conference for youth, designed by youth being run in London. Tomorrow’s Web Conference looks like a great event and I wish them all the best for it. Channel 4 has been quite forthright in both promoting youth projects and shows, and a host of other organisations such as Prince’s Trust, [...]
Culture | Police, Professors and Picket Fences
Posted in Opinion, tagged Prof Henry Louis Gates, Race, Racial Profiling, Sgt James Crowley, Skip Gates on July 24, 2009 | 10 Comments »
Prominent US black professor Prof Gates is arrested for causing a disturbance. Arresting officer Police Sgt. James Crowley refuses to apologise. Media jumps on to what is potentially a race row. Oh and Obama makes a comment too something to do with stupidity.
OK now I would love to be controversial on this and lean to [...]
Education | Tory but Troubled?
Posted in Opinion, tagged Conservatives, Education, michael gove, policy exchange, rsa, STEM, tory on July 12, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I recently had the pleasure of meeting a Tory politician to talk about education in the country. A conversation which frankly went one direction when I realised that his view of remedying the system of some of our low performing schools was quite myopic. I decided to follow this up some more by viewing Michael [...]
Youth | You’re Worth It!
Posted in Opinion on July 5, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Last week a delivered a couple speeches for year 10 students in London and Hertfordshire. The motivational speeches entitled “You’re Worth It” was loosely based on the slogan for L’Oreal products and a reminder to the teenagers listening that although sometimes life sucks they are worth it.
I am humbled when after an hour of speaking [...]
Stuff | What’s Your Name Again?
Posted in Afro Stuff, Opinion on June 27, 2009 | 1 Comment »
This is going to be a very short post but it has been something that has intrigued me for some time. It’s simply this. Why is it that when there are two black males in a room most of the non black people in the room have a problem distinguishing us?
This last week I spent [...]
Culture | The Legacy of Michael Jackson

Like most geniuses, a gifted but tortured soul. A legacy of powerful entertainment and inspirational music.
Culture | I Hate Political Correctness
Posted in Opinion, tagged free speech, freedom of speech, hate, politcal correctness, politically correct on June 25, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Try as I might I am not very good at not being opinionated. Not only on subjects that are passionate to me but also ones that provoke debate. One of the ones that sticks in my craw is political correctness. I also have a bug bear about the “diversity” (not the dance group) but that’s [...]
Politics | Democracy and the BNP Council Seat
Posted in Opinion, tagged BNP, British National Party, Deirdre Gates, Politics on June 17, 2009 | 3 Comments »
There has been so much handwringing and a rather feeble attempt at a protest yesterday for the first BNP Councillor to be elected in my local council of Hertfordshire. Councillor Deirdre Gates has had a number of protests both online and offline as she took to the helm of being the first elected councillor for [...]
