My mate Rob, with whom I’ve worked for 12 years, never willingly moves. He doesn’t gym, he doesn’t play anything more taxing than an a cd and he won’t walk if a bus can take him there in just twice as long. He’s a bit overweight. Yet he never has an ache, a pain, a – Read More-
I’m not a religious man. I would be but I simply can’t see the point. If you pray to a God you need to see results. I’m a materialist atheist. And you don’t see results. When someone gets over the flu people say ‘thank God, she’s better’. When they die of cancer they say ‘well, – Read More-

Freedom to vote, freedom to live as I please, to pray as I please, to not pray as I please, freedom to enjoy road-rage. And to do – Read More-
Zac Goldsmith is basically a good person. I think. His father, Sir James, wasn’t. But he shouldn’t be punished for that. You can’t choose your parents.
