I forgot to post this two days ago. Can you feel my frustration?

South Africa screamed: “What big cocks you have!”
Give me a leader who doesn’t speak snakes through a metre of Goebbels lipstick. Give me a leader with morals to match promises. Give me a leader who’s bigger than this mess and I will fight with them for a better South Africa. Until then, South Africa will continue screaming at the Wolves, “What BIG COCKS you have!” SOUTH AFRICA, A COUNTRY THAT DOESN’T CARE ABOUT ITS CITIZENS WHO, IN TURN, DO WHAT THOSE WHO HATE THEM TELL THEM TO DO South Africa dug into the pavement but her determination … Read the full article…
Hunger Strike Day 64: Wrists like sticks
I’ve no motivation to write articles as my hunger strike continues. There’s already so much evidence for you to download. I’m spending my last days of ‘freedom’ emailing people, planning my arrest, listening to rock music and watching foreign movies. A dietician may be able to explain why I still have a belly but the rest of me has shrunk. I previously showed you the changes in my face (and will post an update on day 70). But for me, the most noticeable affect has been to my wrists which have become thin, bony and heroin looking. For perspective, I demonstrate to salt lovers with this photo 🙂

Last week, I sank into depression. One moment I was there and then I was gone… into a smudgy flow that carried me like a coffin towards fire disasters.

It won writer Karen Jayes the 2009 PEN/Studzinski Award and admiration from writers such as JM Coetzee. That inspired her first novel, the Sunday Times Literary Prize winning ‘The Mercy of Water’. So grab some hot coffee and get back into bed so that you fully appreciate this masterpiece. ‘My husband likes the sheets tucked in, so that when he gets into bed, it’s like slipping into … Read the full article…
You’re going to be raped and stabbed and shot at….
“You’re gonna be raped and stabbed and shot at…” It’s a line from a powerful South African spoken word/song called ‘Afterthought’ (which is what we are to the politicians). It’s dismay, protest and a shout for you to wake up. It’s also a damning indictment of the South African Government and ridiculous attitudes held by ‘its’ passive citizenry. Auriel Lefebre Van Zyl, the singer/lyricist of Menage á Trois, repeats the line, “You’re gonna be raped and stabbed and shot at,” in a way that it will give you shivers. Play … Read the full article…
