Election crisis over
Wednesday, April 14th, 2010I will admit to you now that I’ve been a life long Labour supporter, whether you like that or not, that’s just the way it is. However in recent times my support for this party has been in question, and over just one thing.
How could I ever vote for them again after taking us to [...]
From “big mick” to “fit mick” combat training begins
Thursday, April 8th, 2010I’ve taken the plunge and will be starting classes in Geoff Thompson’s Real Combat System, delivered by Al Peasland who runs Complete Self Protection.
