I was born and grew up in this city and unlike all of those that complain about England having gone to the dogs, I love living in this city. London must be one of the easiest cities in the world to be a Muslim in, or whichever faith you choose to follow. I feel comfortable […]
I had some news at work yesterday, which gave me pause for thought. After having worked here for only four months, I was called to see the senior manager with the rest of my team – a lesson in that; senior managers only call staff to meetings for bad news. We were told that our […]

I while back I wrote about why I withdrew my daughter from sex education at her primary school (Discussing the Birds and the Bees – Part 1: Setting Limits). This was one of the most visited posts I have ever written and brought home to me very clearly that I am not the only parent […]
