A modern day lynching in Hackney: This nonsense has to stop
I guess the light hearted blog post I was going to write about foreskins and circumcisions will have to wait another day. I mentioned in an earlier post that I would keep a public log on the shenanigans of the the residence group, way on the other side of Hackney, with a wild hair up [...]

Old money toffs, illicit affairs, a black boy from the ghetto and his suga momma
The worlds of high society and rappers collided earlier this month, and thanks to Twitter and the Daily Mail, the break up of Ben and Kate Goldsmiths marriage played out on line for millions. But it’s the American rapper Jay Eletronica (born Timothy Elpadaro Thedford) whom Kate manages that’s got me giddy about this intriguing [...]

Bitter feelings run deep in Clapton and Homerton
The nutty nimby fraternity in Hackney have taken it too far this time. Who knew Jullia Lafferty was a demented bunny boiler who would stoop at any thing, after not getting her way in the planning permission debacle of 229 Lower Clapton Road. I mean the woman has all out accused church members of St [...]

Rodney King found dead in his home: Is there more to his death?
I have a feeling Rodney King was one of life’s unfortunates. He never sought infamy, but it found him.

Yes Miss Grey it was I that slashed the tyres of your car
Hearing about the teacher who ‘tried to burn’ a students hair extensions off, brought back memories of my PE teacher during my first year in secondary school, here in London. It wasn’t my hair that was the problem, but a cameo chain I brazenly wore against school rules. Small crosses were allowed but nothing else. [...]
