Hi, My Name is JB and I am a…
Hi, my name is JB and I am an obsessive compulsive...of sorts. Or perhaps I am just a neat-freak. Or maybe just a little odd. On arriving in the kitchen this morning I was faced with a sight that made me growl. Actually growl, out loud.

We have all seen the footage, we have read the articles and the more and more awful it becomes the stronger the desire to simply look away becomes. I know it. I feel it too. Then yesterday a photo of 3 year old Aylan Kurdi emerged lying face down, drowned, dead on a Turkish beach. His family having fled the Syrian town of Kobani, then denied asylum in Canada, ...
