General Introduction
Erm, hello everyone.
Have no idea whether this is a blog for me to let off steam or for other people to view. I'd like it to be the latter but I can see it as being the former.
That is, of course, if I have steam to let off. I have lots of things I get annoyed about but whether I can articulate them into words is a lot harder.
It would of course, be more productive to go into what I believe in agree with, rather than descend into a rant against issues. It's easy to criticise but there must be an alternative where you expound your own beliefs.
I'm also not trying to foister my own thoughts on anyone but explaining my own position. You may not agree with them but as long as you read them and allow my beliefs then that's fine.
So here's the thing about me. I'm a catholic, I've a girlfriend, I support Manchester United and I love all sports. I'm a pedant, live in the north of England and like playing the guitar. I work in the media, eat meat and like drinking good ales and fine wines - generally red.
And I'm liberal.
It's difficult being a liberal and ranting - though recent events have made it easier, sadly, as the current government become more and more authoritarian.
Over the weeks, there'll be general rants over issues I feel strongly about (if I bother updating this). But this will do for now.
Thanks for reading this
