Neighbours, everybody needs good... It’s the age of uncertainty, overuse of the word 'Terrorism' and common sense gone digital. If what the astronomers tell us is true, we’ve moved light years away from the cosmic location we were at just four years ago and you can kinda tell. Yet Mario’s key cutters, Poundland, and Tesco’s all seem to have remained in the same location as I look through the eyes of a child. [ 1,690 more word ]
As a child growing up in the Ladbroke Grove area (Notting Hill), one of my earliest memories of the music scene, besides my father's need to glorify the bass of The Mighty Diamonds every Sunday morning, was DBC radio. Being influenced as a child by their presence on Portobello Road every Saturday morning, I had to attribute a large part of my ongoing love for music to those earlier experiences. [ 1,298 more word ]

New article on Urban Dandy London by Tom Charles More May = More Prevent Strategy https://urbandandylondon.com/…/more-may-more-prevent-strat…/
Islamist terror in Paris, Islamist terror in London, and there are many factors driving the violence. Theresa May has chosen to tackle the issue with a consciously narrow programme called the Prevent Strategy. The government has considered certain factors, but others are not up for discussion. The result has been a decontextualized debate, and a Conservative victory in the polls in June will have implications for communities across the country concerned about the pull of terrorism.

Love and stillness to all; dive within - find yourself, the kingdom of God is within you. Salvation, revolution, liberation, to take back out and play in the world. Play your role with presence and love. Attune, be a child, be wise, it's all there in your heart - love, be loved, connect. (God).

Running my fingers through the corn of my mind, seeds sown over many years mixed with the weeds of insecurity, these golden fields swaying in the breeze like ghosts of lost souls underground awaiting final call and judgement, may the petals of heaven's flowers forever be my rain, as I slowly march from another time into battle once again, fighting thine enemies within,
“It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society” Jiddu Krishnamurti The cost to society when the vulnerable are not supported with decent housing and social service is laid bare when somebody pure and decent finds their life and what they hold dear falling apart. It is a bitter tragedy. Such tribulation has afflicted a beautiful soul in North Kensington. [ 452 more words ]
To float away into the mist Upon a piece of driftwood made smooth by my inner tears Guided by moonbeams to the ends of the earth falling into the abyss of dreams rescued by God's mighty hand placed upon the rock of my faith Yet this world takes its toll upon my heart, my soul, my mind fearing the depths my thoughts… [ 32 more words ]

There are two kinds of politician worth knowing: those of conviction, and those of savvy. The former paid tribute to the latter this week, using a word I had to look up. Jeremy Corbyn called Gerald Kaufman “an iconic and irascible figure” after the father of the House died Sunday, aged 86. Irascible – ‘easily angered’ - Corbyn chose the right word. [ 689 more words ]

As we slowly walk closer, towards the light many areas of darkness will be exposed not that we were masking - hiding them but they remained hidden in the depths of our heart and soul Now facing the ever-engulfing truth the truth we desire, search for, yearn for our duty is to conquer these foes, for this darkness brings not peace or freedom… [ 89 more words ]
When Men Can't. I found the idea of Israeli and Palestinian women uniting to make a stance against war magnetic, ironic and prophetic, at the same time serving as a mercy to silly men in suits, offering them a final chance to listen to their earth's cries. As men have continuously failed at this ego-free . I wanted to talk with the group. [ 3,943 more words ]

Christmas poetry on Urban Dandy https://urbandandylondon.com/…/10/christmas-1914-meets-2016/
Oh! Let us find our no man's land deep within our soul. Just a moment's fleeting peace even for one day. Feeling the futility of constant war mustard gas mist lingered like madness, hatred, fear, despair stoked by desk generals, rulers of but dust - egg timer imprisoned, carving pal's battalions into race, religion, class. Like a crazed Biology tutor… [ 100 more words ]
