4 CommentsContemplating the current dire apocalypse (but isn't the weather lovely?!), a rather troubling thought occurred to me: As the energy bills and other household costs continue to soar, the first thing people are going to cut down on to try and make ends meet is social and leisure activities that cost money, e.g., going to cafés, […]

9 CommentsI've mentioned before that, as a consummate conspiraquack, I naturally take a keen interest in astrology, and I have learned that the apparent defining characteristic of my lunar placing, Scorpio, is a tendency to dig and dig and dig at something, until it is well and truly excavated and exposed. As such, I like to […]

3 CommentsWith some considerable pomp and ceremony (or the internet equivalent thereof - a string of emojis 🥳🎉🍾), I am absolutely delighted to share with you our (Mark and my) new resource: INFORMED CONSENT MATTERS (If you've not been warned, you're not informed!) I wrote a bit more about what we were working on last week, […]

2 CommentsWith weary predictability, "Covid" is back in the headlines (look, evil overlords, have you got unpaid interns doing your screenwriting or something? These 'Plague Mutates!' plot twists are getting so derivative and dull...). "In pretending Covid is over, the UK government is playing a dangerous game," scolds The Guardian sanctimoniously, in an article by one […]

4 CommentsOne of the most valuable lessons I ever learned about how the world really works, was in 2019, when I read an article in the Daily Mail, entitled: 'Research scientist, 28, reveals her horror at discovering she had NO childhood jabs because her mother was an anti-vaxxer'. Apart from the fact that the title self-evidently […]

4 CommentsAs I recently mentioned with some ceremony (well - a Facebook post with a picture), I last week received - and have now read - a much-publicised new book: 'The Case Against The Sexual Revolution'. Written by a self-described feminist, Louise Perry is just 30 years old, born in the heady heights of early nineties' […]

9 CommentsThe title of this piece is a quote from The Art of War, a Chinese military treatise said to have been written by General Sun Tzu, over 2,000 years ago. As they say, there's nothing new under the, well, Sun - and the military expertise and tactical brilliance as outlined by General Tzu 2,500 years […]

8 CommentsSo, I rubbed my crystal ball once more, gazed off into the swirling mists of time, and mystically predicted... the perfectly bleedin' obvious. That the "adopt a pet Ukrainian" scheme wasn't going to work. The Guardian reports this week that: "Community leaders said such incidents were happening among typically well-meaning hosts who may have failed […]

4 CommentsFor many of us, one of the greatest, and most frustrating, enigmas of the whole "Covid" episode has been trying to understand why vast swathes of the population appear to be so utterly impervious to basic reasoning and rudimentary logic. Basic logic such as: all the world's ruling classes are openly committed to dramatically reducing […]
