One of the arguments that my German friends like to make against the Atheist Bus Campaign (and especially it’s German equivalent) is that ‘because there is no religious advertising on public transport in Germany atheists do not need to advertise’. This is the sort of reasoning why companies such as […]
Atheist buses are one thing, stating there’s probably no god. But how about the christian counter adverts now on the streets of London? The christian party adverts that are even a rip-off of the design of the atheist ads are rather inoffensive as far as I am concerned; imitation is […]
For the past 14 years, jonworth.eu has been my online identity. It’s the URL of this blog, the hub for all I do online. Even as blogging in the traditional sense has diminished, my blog has still accompanied me through all the best and worst of my work and personal […]
Some people have used the Coronavirus lockdowns to clean their homes and flats. I instead have spent a good part of the past fortnight cleaning my online presence instead – essentially getting this blog back into some order after a good while just posting day to day. The aim: to […]
This is a non-exhaustive list of my media work. If you would like comment on Brexit, UK-Germany-EU relations, or other EU policies, please contact me. I am experienced doing media work in English, French and German. France24 TV, The Debate show – “Which Europe will it be? Macron’s strong […]
Back in 2005 I was coming towards the end of my term as President of JEF-Europe but I still had ideas. No one will ever invite me to speak at conferences again I thought, so I better try writing things instead. Some friends of mine in Swedish politics were blogging […]
Tomorrow at re:publica, the annual tech and politics gathering in Berlin, Tobias Schwarz (from Fistful of Euros) and I will talk about 12 years of blogging about European Politics and the EU. Fistful has been around a little longer than my own blog; I’ve been writing here since July 2005. […]
I think these last few days I’ve started to realise what’s been so wrong with me for the last few months. I’ve ceased to dream, to have hopes for the future. “Something has happened to you these last six months” a dear colleague of mine said to me yesterday. “You […]
You’ve probably used the major social media tools – Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Flickr, LinkedIn, blogs. You’re probably using them more intensively personally than in work. But how can these tools be best used in a professional environment? Training courses I run can provide answers for you and your colleagues. If […]
In Brussels it’s reasonably easy. There I was (and indeed still am) the EU politics blogger nerd. So if there are events and conferences to attend I go to ones about EU politics on the web first and foremost. Then I will go to ones about institutional reform or centre […]
I’ve attended re:publica in Berlin for the last two years, presenting Atheist Buses there in 2009 and talking on a panel about the EU Citizens’ Initiative in 2010, and I’ll be there again in 2011. It’s a fantastic, creative, fun event, it’s in spring time in Berlin, it operates in […]
“Newspapers / the media / leafletting / canvassing [delete as applicable] are surely the least of his problems!” Can you really imagine a UK political activist saying any of those four possible phrases about the campaign for someone running for mayor of a London borough, and not leaving themselves open […]
