After a mixed career as an aircraft technician, London fringe theatre playwright, Franciscan friar, and secondary school teacher, I find myself looking after the needs of four donkeys in a remote location in the mountains in the Costa Blanca. I like to listen to BBC Radio 4 and the wind in the pine trees. My favourite film of all time is "Jean de Florette" as it details the concerns of country people and quietly shows how evil enters our lives through mundane and petty matters. Now retired, I have lost the need to fight past battles and recognize that my various contributions to life - both ecclesiastical and secular - have been enjoyable, sometimes flawed, occasionally disastrous; but mostly times worth celebrating.
Re-posting my today’s last tweets for those here who are not on Twitter. Today will be a rest day. Having switched to support @RosieDuffield1 in 2017 and dump Tory Brexiter MP for Canterbury I feel totally betrayed by @JeremyCorbyn and Labour doesn’t deserve any further support with a Leaver at the helm. Disgrace!#PeoplesVote #StopBrexit @BremainInSpain @vets4EU (thread … More Brexit: have you written to your MP?
I dedicate this blog post to the fellow Catholic who came here – a few days ago – sewing division and ruin. Mate, you lost the battle and lost the war. Brexit is falling apart. Folks, there is a whole community out there fighting for your citizens’ rights, as British in Spain or Lithuanians in … More Fake Brexit news: Muslims ban Christmas
We are into the final phase of sabotaging Brexit, and the fight is really on. Lots of work to do, but I’m also having to re-learn a lesson I was taught nearly 30 years ago: “Never think it all depends on you, or you’ll burn out.” That was in Liverpool in 1989 when we were … More Saint Crispin, patron of Battle for Remain EU

I have to admit that I hesitated momentarily before publishing an earlier blog post with the title Resist Brexit: it’s a fascist coup. I knew exactly why I needed to write that, but I also knew the word fascist would probably play badly with readers as it is often used in a histrionic way, lends itself […]
A personal anti-Brexit pro-EU manifesto #AftertheMarch and the journey home from London to Alicante, I had intended a quiet week at home with the donkeys. The stable needs new internal wooden stalls as the donkeys have half-eaten the original ones! There is work to be done on winter electric lighting for the donkeys’ food store … More Resist Brexit: it’s a fascist coup
La Nucia, Costa Blanca, 10 am Wednesday 24 October. A meeting organised for British residents to look at the healthcare implications of Brexit. In attendance, the British Consul Sarah-Jane Morris. The venue is the La Nucia Auditorio, the entrance of which has already been prepared by PoliFani insurance with their branded boards, a table of … More British Consular Brexit Health Sales Service
The title of this post is a refined version of our main chant in central London on Saturday, for the esteemed and polite readers of this equusasinus blog. The number of people marching in Saturday’s immensely joyous gathering for a People’s Vote on the Brexit deal was estimated at 700,000 but some estimates put it … More Bollocks to Brexit, please
Please note: this is a re-blog. I have spent several days preparing my Part 3 of this series, focusing this time on the criminality, lies and financial scams that we now know characterised the 2016 referendum on membership of the EU. Today, when I was getting near to uploading Part 3, I saw that www.brexitshambles.com had done … More The Great Brexit Robbery (3)
@MorrisDonkey is taking a break from his portant internet research to help stop Brexit. He seems to think he has nearly stopped Brexit now, so he is spending a happy hour in the sun playing with buckets. If it wasn’t for the EU there would be a 97% trade tariff on plastic buckets, so @MorrisDonkey … More Ode to Buckets
