Things can only get better?
Those of a certain age will no doubt remember D:ream's irritatingly catchy titular ditty that became the official anthem of Tony Blair's 1997 Labour landslide victory (I was still at school at the time, but vividly remember the visceral excitement in the air, even amongst those several years too young to vote - and that […]
Wolves are more dangerous than sheep
From when we are very small, we are tutored in the idea of the "saviour hero" defeating evil and putting everything to rights. Whether it's the handsome Prince saving Cinderella from her evil stepmother, or John McClane in Die Hard saving the world (again), this is part of our cultural story arc from virtually the […]
Who do you think you are?
Well, it seems I have put the conspiratorial cat well and truly amongst the pugnacious pigeons with my comments on hero-superwoman-doctor-god, Rachel Clarke (who was last seen demonstrating her great heroism in these quarters by getting cartoonist Bob Moran, courageous activist father of a disabled daughter, very publicly fired, then threatening to take him to […]
Breathfaking
I don't usually like talking numbers (when you didn't pass your Maths GCSE until the age of 31, you generally don't...), and I realise mentioning salaries is terribly uncouth and un-English (maybe the Russian lessons are having more impact than I thought?), but I've discovered some particularly salient facts - or rather, figures - that […]
King Charles Does Not Have Cancer
In the phenomenally successful television sitcom, 'Friends', we often saw the three female characters - despite the actresses who played them being rail thin and famed for their strict diet and exercise regimes - feasting on pizza, ice cream, and sugary cocktails. Why did 'Friends' show us this? Not because the women were really eating […]
Gillick Competency and Implied Consent
(A new page from my health resource, Informed Consent Matters, including a template letter to send to schools.) If you are a parent or carer of a child under 16, then Gillick competency and implied consent are very important concepts to be aware of, especially once your child becomes secondary school-aged. The Gillick competency ruling, a landmark legal case […]
Meeting people where they are: it matters
Imagine, if you will, that you were a piano teacher, recruiting for new students... Whilst your melodious marketing endeavours might attract the occasional attentions of an already highly adept musician who simply wanted to brush up on their skills, on the whole, the people who seek the tuition of piano teachers are those who have […]
It's not viruses, climate change, or cancer
It's not nuclear weapons, suicide bombers, or aliens. It's not even God, not in this capacity. It's fear. That's what drives all of the psy-ops, hoaxes, and sinister agendas that saturate our reality, and what allows them to be used as such effective weapons against the population. What people are made to be afraid of, […]
Communism isn't the only dangerous form of collectivism
"The truth movement's over!" "The awake community's been destroyed by in-fighting!" "People need to get over their differences and unite if we're ever going to win!" How many times have we heard the above soundbites in the last four years, with these sentiments becoming ever-more amplified recently, especially by self-appointed "leaders" (more on them later)? […]
The Devious Deception of Derek 'Diddums' Draper
It was terrible when Jim from Neighbours died. Do you remember it? It was awful. He'd been having those chest pains, but he just brushed them off (you know what men are like). Then one day, he just collapsed! Helen was the one who found him. It was so traumatic for her, poor thing. And […]
