Thanks to the South China Morning Post for publishing my ‘Rant‘ in last Sunday’s Post Magazine! I press buttons and rant the case for a new psychiatric term for ‘bipolar’. Your suggestions are welcome! Topping my shortlist is ‘Swingers’. It also has a double meaning, but at least it’s sexier than the spectre of nuclear attack…

There’s nothing I enjoy more in life than having a good rant! So thanks to the South China Morning Post for giving me an opportunity to have a cheeky ‘Bipolar Word’ in the ‘RANT’ section of Post Magazine May 1st! This is the first opportunity the SCMP have given me to be anything other than a clown. I’m not suggesting ranting is bonafide journalism but it’s almost certainly the closest I’ll get to it.

Aiya – I have just heard from the editor that my rant has been bumped from May 1st for something more “time sensitive” (it better not be another u-turn on lifting Covid restrictions by Carrie Lam!!!) He’s promised me my rant will be published “very soon”, so hopefully the following Sunday, or the Sunday after that, or definitely before the end of 2047. Sorry!!

In the meantime, here are a couple of my old bipolar rants in SCMP articles I did not write myself…
