The shame of Cambodia’s past…
Last night I watched a fascinating documentary by a Cambodian journalist who had spent the past ten years researching the murders commited in the name of the Khmer Rouge and its leader, Pol Pot.

This weeks ups and downs…
Apparently the current Deputy Prime Minister and leader of the Social/Liberal/Democrats or whatever their current moniker is has seen his popularity plummet since the election and people are confused. Well, perhaps it’s due to what happens when the reality of the situation actually hits them and they realise what they promised […]
Death of Elizabeth Taylor…
Today we lost another star from yesteryear, Elizabeth Taylor. Born in England to American parents she personified a style, presence and star quality that simply does not exist anymore.
