The Con-or-lie Cabaret, Act II: The Pig in Muck
I'm not being rude here, or making unkind jibes about anybody's festive overindulgences: that's really the name of the venue where three of our favourite con artists - two fake "convicts" and one common or garden conman - recently met for a jolly old knees-up. Beaming over their beers, we have three of the most […]
Happy Fake New Year!
One of the great things about being a conspiracy theorist is that we need feel no guilt at all about not sticking to our New Year's resolutions, and indeed can feel quite smug about it, since - as all the cool conspiracy kids know - this isn't the real New Year. Celebrating New Year on […]
The Trust Trap
Someone messaged me the other day to let me know that the now-legendary (once languishing) Lucy Connolly had begun a Substack (thanks J!). Intrigued, I clicked on the link... only to find I had a pre-emptive block! I've never made any direct attempts at communication with Ms Connolly, so I find the block to be […]
"Just how big do you think the conspiracy is?"
Apart from, “I like your hat, is it real fur, where did you get it?” (thanks, no, it was a present), the question I am most frequently asked remains the one in the title… It’s usually put to me online, so I can’t completely accurately discern tone, but I imagine a mocking, scoffing one, followed […]
Father Ted's Unfriendly Fire
It is generally regarded as a universal truth that, when one is a child, to spend too much time watching TV is Very Bad, but to spend a lot of time reading books is Very Good. It is therefore the case that many parents, who will scrutinise and carefully control the content their children watch […]
The best way to control the opposition...
When I was at school, my French teacher, Mrs. Mealor, had a bit of a problem with controlling the class, as seems to be an occupational hazard for the tutelage of the Gallic dialect (maybe it's the melodic, lyrical nature of the language, as it seems German teachers have no such problems...). When various threats […]
Supine lupine
Apart from being splendid Scrabble words (I often have a game open in the background, and yes, I'm afraid I do play the computer, a devious and duplicitous rival who knows far more improbable words beginning with Q than I do), these terms would seem to accurately encapsulate what's currently going on in conspiracy HQ... […]
Everything is a psyop and everyone is fake
I've never actually made either of these declarations before, but I'm so often accused of having done so by my critics that I thought I may as well use the clickbait... What I have actually said - and what has never been more consummately qualified than by the ongoing pantomime of the Lucy Connolly fiasco […]
Tricky Ricky and the news
It's a shame Huey Lewis already took it, as otherwise, this would be a great band name... And frankly, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see tricky old Rick make a star turn on the X-Factor for his next role, following two critically acclaimed performances as first a stricken Covid patient, and now, two-tier […]
The calm before Reform
It is no great revelation that life was a lot easier in the '90s, but one rather overlooked advantage of existing at that time was how much easier it was to watch a good film. You just waited until 9pm on Friday or Saturday night, and there'd be something entertaining and scintillating and well worth […]
