How We: Do Goals/Resolutions
This year I didn’t give particular thought to any goals or resolutions for the year. I have not had a good track record with such things. I considered trying something different each month but a lack of planning on that front has kept it so vague we’re approaching the half-way point in February without any decision on what to do. It might be helpful to change that with some planning in this post.…

The Home Office Post-Brexit Immigration Leak
The Home Office Post-Brexit Immigration Leak
This morning, all the newspaper alerts I have set up for work and personal interest had only one story: The Home Office Post-Brexit Immigration Leak. The documents are hosted by The Guardian, who received the leak of the Home Office’s plans for post-Brexit immigration/foreigner working status. I spent the morning in anger. Theresa May’s agenda is to boot out people, come hell or high water. I…

A Food Revolution | Nessa of Two Evils
A Food Revolution | Nessa of Two Evils
The world is changing. It might be due to natural cycles of temperature changes that landscapes are becoming arid and uninhabitable, that the pH levels of bodies of water change and kill off organisms within – it might even be human intervention, with over-fishing, polluting and destroying habitats. With a changing world, what we need (simply as a response) is a food revolution. At least since…

Britain's Global Future | Nessa of Two Evils
Britain’s Global Future | Nessa of Two Evils
Six months ago I wrote my first blog: Is soft power still a tool in today’s world? It was inspired by the work that began at ResPublica, which culminated in the report published last week – Britain’s Global Future: Harnessing the soft power capital of UK institutions. My conclusion differed from that of the report authors, as I had not taken institutions into consideration as strongly – clearly…

From the New York Times: When Russia’s Dark Arts Backfire | Nessa of Two Evils
This is an, in my opinion, valuable short post from The Interpreter newsletter of The New York Times. Natalia Veselnitskaya in Moscow on Tuesday. Alexander Zemlianichenko/Associated Press When Russia’s Dark Arts Backfire We wanted to share a little story from the recent past of Natalia Veselnitskaya, a Kremlin-connected Russian lawyer who features in this week’s news about Donald Trump Jr. That…

Priorities for the EU | Nessa of Two Evils
This morning I read the CapX article by Deputy Editor Oliver Wiseman, which referenced the Chatham House report This and that. It measured attitudes of both regular citizens and the described “elites” of member countries of the European Union. Chatham House – The Future of Europe After finishing I find it interesting to come out of the article with a different interpretation to the author (read…

Mother Russia and Ye Olde England | Nessa of Two Evils
I have very little to say, except to recommend the UK Buzzfeed investigation series into murders of people involved with Russia, anchored in the UK. Poison in the System From Russia with Blood The Man Who Knew Too Much The Secrets of the Spy in the Bag All of this may read like a tension-ratcheting spy novel, but it is real, with very deadly consequences for those who crossed Putin.

Why am I so broken? - 07.06.2017
Dear Me, Where did it go wrong? I am still in the best relationship that I have ever known, with the kindest soul. Yet here I lie in bed, tears rolling down my chubby cheeks, my throat hurting with the lump I've conjured. I can't say what's wrong. This should only happen when I'm around my parents feeling misunderstood. But I'm lying right next to the boy I love. I hate my chubby cheeks that my tears are rolling down on. They're chubby because I eat too much. I eat too much because I have no self control. And he knows that I worry about it and don't like that. So he is only trying to help when he tells me not to sop up the last of the sauce on my plate after a meal. It's not his fault this embarrasses me. It definitely isn't his fault that I ate too much in the office before I came home for dinner. But I am so angry at him because he is helping me and all it does is make me feel worse about myself. He doesn't even think I should change anything about myself. The only reason I do want to change something about myself is because of my mom telling me that I need to change myself. My mom is the one who is embarrassed about how I look and how much I weigh. But she has taught me well, as I have internalised every flaw she has found in me. Fat. Dumb. Lazy. Unambitious. Unattractive. Inexperienced. Impulsive. Boring. There are days when I don't think about it and I don't remember it. Those are the days I forget to believe her. They are good days. There are many more of those than bad ones like tonight. But I used to never have these nights. I'm sure of it. I don't know what it is these last few months but I can't say a word to him about how I feel. I need to be better. I need to start therapy. Yours, Me
The Third Attack in Three Months | Nessa of Two Evils
The Third Attack in Three Months | Nessa of Two Evils
I have a heavy heart again, using a black box as the image for this post. The United Kingdom, and more specifically, my chosen home city of London was witness to the third attack on this country in as many months. There is a risk that comes with living in the capital city of a country, compared to living in the countryside, of course. But that is no reason for me to abandon this place (besides…

A World Without Trump | Nessa of Two Evils
It’s a well-known saying, mostly passed on from mother to child, that if you cannot say anything nice, you should say nothing at all. The Interpreter, a newsletter by columnists of the New York Times that is posted twice a week, today reflected on Donald Trump’s announcement to withdraw the United States from the agreements to combat climate change from Paris. It reminded me strongly of that…

Is Voter Fraud a Real Danger in the UK? | Nessa of Two Evils
You may or may not recall, and chances are that you won’t, that I linked to a review of electoral management by UEA Senior Lecturer Toby S James a while back. It was concerned with changes that could be effected by centralising electoral management in order to improve processes for voters. I’ll quote a section of the paper just here: High profile localised problems became headline news at the…

Old Faithful – Can we trust polling in the UK? | Nessa of Two Evils
I was off gallivanting around for some holidays in recent weeks, resulting in the radio silence here. Nevertheless politics has still been on my mind – most significantly on my holidays actually, as the day I left for sunnier pastures, PM Theresa May called a General Election for June 8th. As a note, as always I am ineligible to vote (it would be great if YouGov gave me an option to express that…

Who is responsible for the St Petersberg Metro bombing? | Nessa of Two Evils
Who is responsible for the St Petersberg Metro bombing? | Nessa of Two Evils
Short one today: It is awful to hear that St Petersburg was struck by an act of violence, as a bomb exploded in the Metro with a current death-toll of 14 people and a second bomb was disarmed before it could take more lives. The question of who is responsible for the St Petersburg Metro bombing seems quickly resolved: Akbarzhon Jalilov, an ethnic Uzbek born in Osh in 1995, is the prime suspect.…

Don’t Snitches Get Stitches? | Nessa of Two Evils
It’s a chant that children use to intimidate each other into keeping secrets: snitches get stitches. If you reveal the truth to any authorities, you must face the consequences. But children aren’t known for suspiciously falling out of windows (even in Game of Thrones). The scale of secrets doesn’t quite compare to international relations interference. The news that Mike Flynn was available to be…

That Christian Parable | Nessa of Two Evils
That Christian Parable | Nessa of Two Evils
I went to my share of Sunday school as a child. That it was conducted in another language probably doesn’t change the parables that were employed to teach us lessons about ourselves. And in today’s world, there is that one Christian parable that sticks out to me in particular, when I read the following in my news digest: “UKIP are doubling down on the idea that even though Masood was…

The Walk to Work | Nessa of Two Evils
The Walk to Work | Nessa of Two Evils
This morning, as I walked to my office for work, police had cordoned access off, and were asking pedestrians where they were headed. Anywhere beyond the McDonalds was diverted. I instead was allowed under the ribbon to walk to the entrance of the building where I work. It’s a bizarre phenomenon to sit in the office and watch on TV what was happening just a few hundred yards further down the…
