Meerkats at Hobbledown - Epsom!

Hobbledown: May Bank Holiday! (6.5.2025)

On Bank Holiday Monday (May 5th 2025) we spent most of the day at the local petting farm known as Hobbledown (in Epsom). For about four-years (2005-2099), I taught Taijiquan at a nearby leisure centre twice a week – so I know the area well. Furthermore, throughout the years, we have regularly took our children to interact with the animals and for them to have fun in the huge soft play hosted in-doors. Of course, there has been a massive investment and restructuring at Hobbledown which has been very successful at a time when the economy is in melt-down and political incompetence is at an all-time high. It is well designed, with plenty of different animals living in wide open well-managed spaces.

Choices, Choices… Voting – UK General Election (12.12.2019)

This is interesting, as last year (during an anti-fascist march in London), Gee (my ethnic Chinese partner) and 2 young daughters were racially abused by a Labour Party supporter, 2 supporters of the Socialist Workers Party and a self-confessed Polish migrant who proclaimed his pride that his grandparents had supported the Nazi Germans during WWII! Apparently the Red Flag of Freedom – according to these Trotskyites – is no different to the barbarous flag of Adolf Hitler. So, what am I left with? It is true that the Tories (and LibDems) initiated policies that has seen my family ripped apart, impoverished, exploited and most recently evicted from their homes, on the other hand, the Labour Party has failed twice to win two pivotal General Elections under Jeremy Corbyn, has portrayed our anti-EU stance as ‘fascism’ and produced members that have racially abused my family in public because they are a) Chinese and b) dared to openly carry the Red Flag of Socialism and Communism in public. Choices, choices…
