Richard Herring is a racist

Yesterday’s Guardian published a piece by Brian Logan which illustrated how comedians such as Richard Herring and Scott Capurro are inherently racist and offensive.

Interviewing Mr T

Amongst people with Macbooks and laptops in the NFT's cafe I sat scribbling onto a sheet of A4 in an embarrassingly low-tech fashion.

I've decided to take this blog in a slightly different direction. While this is subject to whim, hopefully I’ll have enough material to sustain it.
With growing up comes a dwindling desire to be angry and ranty about what I now view to be the trivialities of the world at large, and these people or issues aren't generally worth the energy or the space they end up occupying on the internet's hard drive.

Think of it as a background to the articles I write for other websites, or a blog version of Moving Wallpaper and Echo Beach if you will; but on a better channel, and with no Jason Donovan.
