No CommentsI had a rather nasty shock earlier this month when, for the first time in a while, I ventured out into Huddersfield town centre on a Saturday night. And the shock was not that I was in Huddersfield town centre on a Saturday night, because, despite the town's less than stellar reputation, I have - […]

No CommentsApart 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 […]

No CommentsOne of many and various misdemeanours I have taken my shambolic local council to task for is their shameful divisive promotion of a "far-right riot" that wasn't. Back when riots were all the rage (at least, as far as the propaganda press was concerned), a breathless fear-based memo quickly spread around social media, penned by […]

No CommentsIn what should have been one of major scoops of the century, Alex Kriel from the Thinking Coalition exposed a few days ago that the UK has become a de facto dictatorship. Very quietly, and with no pomp, ceremony, or even the briefest of mentions on page 37 of the Swindon Observer, the UK government […]

No CommentsI recall very distinctly the first time the Madeleine McCann disappearance hit the headlines. It was summer 2007, and I was working in a large outbound call centre in London's Old Street ('Pell and Bales', since deceased, which we employees would "affectionately" refer to as Hell and Satan). When I walked in to start my […]

No CommentsBack in July 2023, I wrote an exposé of the deeply dodgy fundraising platform - beloved of "alternative" celebrity multi-millionaires such as Andrew Bridgen and Laurence Fox - Democracy 3.0. What I uncovered in this report (a lot of which was paraphrased the subsequent month, by investigative journalists at OpenDemocracy) was essentially that Democracy 3.0 […]

No CommentsOn the 9th of April this year, directly following a horrific knife murder in my town's centre - carried out on a busy shopping street in the middle of the afternoon - that left a 16-year-old boy dead and a 20-year-old man facing life in prison, I wrote to my local council regarding my concerns […]

No CommentsOne of my subscribers - not a blogger or a podcaster, just a "normal" (within reason etc) social media user - told me of a disappointing, but ultimately unsurprising, experience she'd recently had online, where one of her personal photos came to the attention of a certain "transvestigator", who set about relentlessly trolling her (and […]

No CommentsDon't worry, you haven't missed a major news item this morning: I'm just getting in there early, extrapolating from recent events, and mass predictive programming (more of which later), for when this "event", rather inevitably, is sensationally reported in the news. Whenever there's a high-profile incident of this nature - a stabbing / shooting / […]

No CommentsI accidentally watched a film with Tom Hanks in it last night. Accidentally, because I've heard all the same rumours about him as everyone else, and I certainly wouldn't be surprised if they were true. I never warmed to him as a child, despite his ubiquitous celluloid presence in childhood staple films, and subsequent unfair […]
