Once upon a time there was a tiny island. A tiny island called Walta. A tiny island in the middle of Middle Earth forever covered by a dense fog from which no story could ever escape. And on this island lived a Queen who lived to tell stories. Her stories were fantastical and sombre and … Continue reading Let me tell you a story …

Cassandra
She warned us. We didn't listen. Now look what's happened. Agamemnon by Aeschylus Cassandra: Oh, mistery, misery! Again comes on me The terrible labor of true prophecy, dizzying prelude. Do you see these who sit before the house, Children, like the shapes of dreams? Children who seem to have been killed by their kinsfolk, Filling … Continue reading Cassandra
Black Monday
Black Monday. The assassination of a journalist. The death of democracy and free-speech. I am shocked beyond words. I am sad beyond expression. I am disgusted beyond belief. I offer my sincere and deep condolences to all her family. I can't even begin to imagine what you are going through. Our island is bleeding. We … Continue reading Black Monday

Thank you Joseph for realising that I, a mere woman, needs to be "mentored" and given "on the ground training" to be able to untangle the intricacies of politics - something which men do NATURALLY, of course. Thank you Joseph for letting me, a mere woman, finally play … Continue reading A Mere Woman

If It Were I …
I understand that it's 'Diff'rent Strokes for Diff'rent Folks', however if it were ME being accusing of crimes as heinous as money-laundering, tax-evasion and taking kick-backs, then I'd be protesting my innocence at full volume off every roof-top.

Resign-O Girl
This is beyond 'Red/Blue/Green' petty arguments, This is bigger than 'if you don't side with my 'team' then you can't be my friend', This has left 'my party is better than yours' so far behind, that it can't be seen in our rear-view mirror. This is now about living in a democracy. As a Prime … Continue reading Resign-O Girl
