On a knife edge
A few people have enquired what I think of "the Uxbridge stabbing" - a high-profile, allegedly fatal stabbing incident, where (we are told) an Afghan immigrant brutally slayed an innocent dog-walker, whilst injuring two other people (this query was posed to me before the "Huntingdon train stabbings", which I shall also opine upon...). Without investigating […]
"Neurodiversity", needles, and 9am gin...
One of my earliest experiences of realising that the world, and people, didn't function quite as I'd been taught they did came - astonishingly enough - courtesy of school. Not via a lesson or teacher, of course, but rather, through one of my friends. I had a friend, we'll call her Catherine, who, at the […]
Bookworm or brainworm?
Inspired (and slightly alarmed) by my recent forays into rediscovering childhood literature, and the insidious programming that lurked within the seemingly innocent pages, I decided to take a further perambulation down memory lane, by rediscovering the tomes of my teenage years. Having gone through the requisite Judy Blume stage (and she probably deserves a deep […]
Will it EndWell? The Totally True Trial of Julia "Madeleine McCann" Wendell
We all love to be gripped by a good series, and so, whilst we wait for the next season of Stranger Things, something even stranger appears to be going on in Britain's courtrooms. Back on October 2nd - Yom Kippur, and the day of the "Manchester synagogue attack" - two courtroom dramas began, both of […]
Candace Owens: CO by name...
Ms. Owens is all over my screens today, dominating both mainstream and social media alike, for her theories about - over the former medium - Brigitte Macron, and - over the latter - Charlie Kirk. Owens asserts to believe that the former is a man, and the latter was assassinated by Israel. Thus perpetuating into […]
The Emperor's New Virus / Riot / Assassination
One 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 […]
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 […]
Lost in lockstep
One of the most instructive exercises I've ever undertaken in understanding how the mainstream media really works came via writing a letter of complaint to the Daily Mail in April 2019. My letter read as follows: Dear Sirs, I read an article in your online newspaper today entitled 'Research scientist, 28, reveals her horror at […]
Ray needs a dishwasher, and the country needs Reform...
Who remembers the bizarre insistences of teachers at school that we must all wrap our textbooks in wallpaper? That - both the wallpaper and the textbooks - were two of the many scholastic rituals I was thrilled to leave behind when I finally got through my 12-year incarceration of government schooling, and I didn't expect […]
You have now entered a military space
In common with, I imagine, most people reading this, the internet has been something of a revolutionary lifeline for me. Most people currently in my life, I initially met online (including one I married!). Access to the internet enabled my so-called "awakening", making available to me astonishing and life-altering information that I never would otherwise […]
