A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.

This morning, I got up and had a fag whilst I had a shit. Then another fag with my first cup of tea of the day. Then off into Pearson Park to take Rocky for his first walk of the day. My mobile rang, and then went dead before I could answer it. I rang the number that had called me and nobody responded. Continued with the walk, and the mobile rang again. It was Southern Counties Radio informing me that the government had announced that it had started the consultation process on whether prisoners should have the vote. And, would I be prepared to be interviewed. I agreed. There was just time to finish the walk, have another fag, fry a bacon butty and have a coffee and another fag before the interview. Apparently the story is on Ceefax, but because I do not have a TV Licence, I do not watch TV so could not see it there. I think the interview went well, the switchboard lights up like Blackpool illuminations as all the irate listeners want to stone me to death! Then I did the soapbox on Radio Humberside. In the afternoon, Iain Dale emailed me to offer me the opportunity to go on 18doughtystreet.com in the New Year to talk about the prisoners votes case. I emailed him back to say that I would like this. I cannot help but wonder, given that I started all this, why the government has not spoken too me first in its consultation exercise?
