“PHONETICALLY SPEAKING” To reflect the fast pace of world news, my blog is probably best served as a stream-of-consciousness text. Fast and unadulterated. With this approach, and on first encounter, text might not seem to scan. This is because I am dyslexic. Instead of keeping the proof-readers busy, I would rather let my blog updates of my visual work stand as a record of my experience of dyslexia, which I am keen that you now get to enjoy too. Unlike some news outlets, I hereby excuse myself the need for a ‘corrections’ section! The excitement of a new language is something I’m quite familiar with, and it is with this ‘joie de vivre’ that I am delighted to guide you through my thought and work processes, more phonetically (than fanatically) speaking.
Mealey-Mouthed
Mealey-Mouthed draws inspiration from Sham Uddin, widely recognized as the “Bengal Tiger.” A Barrister-at-Law, Accredited Mediator, writer, and philosopher, his LinkedIn presence reflects a blend of personal experiences, travels, and a dedicated commitment to confronting injustice. While not always in complete agreement with him, I acknowledge his sincere intentions to contribute to the liberation of humanity from malevolence.
The role of the English legal profession in this endeavor is pivotal. Upholding both English and international law impartially is a crucial step in dismantling the forces of oppression.
In response to a recent post by the Bengal Tiger, this piece addresses a disconcerting statement made by an undisclosed figure, referred to as Keir Starmer. The statement suggests that international law should exclusively shield oppressors, never the oppressed—an assertion that warrants scrutiny. It is imperative to transcend partisan boundaries on this matter, preventing it from devolving into a simplistic left versus right political issue, as such divisions play into the hands of those who seek to manipulate public sentiment.
Recognizing the gravity of the ongoing conflict in Gaza, Mealey-Mouthed and I have decided to donate 25% of the profits from this piece to the Palestine Chronicle. This contribution aims to support their commendable efforts in reporting the ground realities in Gaza, emphasizing our commitment to a balanced and informed discourse.
Furthermore, 20% of the proceeds from all Borrington Art sales and 35% from the ‘I REMEMBER MY NAME’ Original Pencil Drawings will be directed towards assisting the Palestine Chronicle in their crucial work. Through this initiative, we hope to contribute meaningfully to the cause of justice and human rights in the region.
