New theme for Newsjiffy

I have many interests.

I am interested in local news from Walthamstow, national and international news, Web 2.0, financial news and transport news.

All these, as well as other topics, have featured on my blog during the two and a half years it has been running.

One interest of mine is human and animal welfare. I have therefore decided to blog mainly on human rights, with the occasional animal-related post as well.

All around the world, people are facing hardship.

In Britain, we have just heard that the worst recession for generations is continuing to contract, destroying jobs, savings and often hope. Extremism is flourishing, and we are all being told that it is partly out fault by the elite for borrowing too much. I didn't, and neither did the majority.

I hope that this blog will go some way to publicising the opression faced by people around the world, from homosexuals in many parts of the UK to opponents of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Iran.

Over the next few months, I will see how well this works.

My posts from before October 2009 can still be read on here.
