I live in the Leicester West constituency, with Liz Kendall as my MP. Leicester is a one-party state, with very little organised opposition that is capable of challenging the grip of the Labour Party on local politics. There are fifty-four councillors, all except for one are Labour. This makes for a pretty sterile political debate […]
I have to admit that the stress of Bangkok was starting to get to me, even though I was there for little under three weeks. The congestion, the lack of open spaces, the crush on the metro and skytrain, and the sound of demolition from across the road from my apartment was getting tough to […]

This morning I’ve wandered away from my apartment. I’m exploring the local neighbourhood and seeing what is about. I’ve found a couple of coffee shops, and a coupe of food halls. I won’t starve in Bangkok, that’s for sue. Though yesterday I only had two meals all day. I’ve set myself the challenge of not […]
After a couple of pleasant days in Pattaya, I’ve moved on to Bangkok, where I’m staying in a small apartment that I booked through AirBnB. It’s not got the best of views, but it’s quiet, and is almost directly opposite the entrance to the metro. Getting to the university is only two stops away, which […]
For the next few weeks I’m in Thailand, undertaking some teaching at Srinakharinwirot University in Bangkok.
