This one is a little off topic for regular listeners to my podcasts, but on listening it will give you an insight into objective opinion, socratic search for the truth and I can finally reveal what had consumed so much of my own life and time last year that a led to me taking the extended break from recording podcasts as well as my having to leave Leeds for two months at the end of last year.

The story of the theft of the David Oluwale blue plaque in Leeds the day after its unveiling has gripped the city, it is being described as a "hate crime" and has led to national attention as a result.  This audio will explain how a hate crime or a crime that is racially motivated is, whilst indeed possible, the most unlikely of 4 possible scenarios, the last of which will highlight an agenda and discrimination of another kind, a kind that is at play right now and is the leading cause of West Yorkshire and Leeds in particular having a male suicide rate that is far higher than anywhere else in the UK, indeed it is why that rate is double that of London.

I do know that in releasing this I may indeed risk my own life, but in such an event the evidence which I have ensured is multiple places will come out and if that is needed to put an end to this dark shadow that has settled over society and my life is sacrificed for the saving of many others then, well as Marcus Aurelius would think himself, if my life which is but a spec in time ends in order to serve the greater good, then that is the way it must be.
