The purpose of this weblog is varied. For a start it cuts down on the amount of email I send friends and family, while also imposing a little discipline and coherence to my writing. Mainly I like to have it ticking over just in case I ever have something important to say (like the human shield action to Iraq).
I’ll generally write something at least each month and see my main audience to be friends and Whānau.
For those of you who aren’t friends or family, I’m from Aotearoa New Zealand. A “conservative anarchist,” I currently live in England, where I’m an architectural technician, designer, uncle and some might say political activist, although political activist sounds like some kind of mundane job, when really most of my political activity has been pure indulgence in life. What better way to indulge in life than to undermine those who seek to stamp it out?
Where’d the name Last Straw come from?
The last straw is an idiom meaning that someone’s had enough, and derives from another idiom, the “straw that broke the camel’s back.”
I also have an interest in straw bale construction and this website was originally to include information on my work in this area but I’ve since decided to maintain it purely as a blog.
