Preparing for the next chapter (and its plot twists)
Following a couple of "oh dear, it's the end of civilisation" events earlier this month, I suppose it was only thematic to discover yesterday that a man has been wielding an extremely large knife (more like a sword) around the centre of ordinarily sleepy Huddersfield in the middle of the day, whilst the local paper […]
No Country for Young Men
Nearly ten years ago, I spent a year living and studying in the USA, in a sleepy little college town nestled in the Adirondack mountains, just an hour away from the Canadian border. Take a look on the Google image search for Potsdam, NY, and you can see that this really was a quintessential slice […]
The Queen is dead, but the chess game continues
So, after deepfaking us at Christmas and using a hologram at the Jubilee, the establishment has finally got around to confirming the Queen is dead. I must say, I was rather tickled by the sheer pantomime absurdity of it all, and that an announcement that the Queen was merely 'ill' immediately saw all newscasters don […]
This isn't the end (though may temporarily resemble it)
"Don't ask any questions, just close your computer and follow me when I leave." You'd be pretty alarmed to get that text message from your companion, wouldn't you, as you sat in a quiet pub doing some work in the middle of the day? Well, I did receive such a text on Wednesday, as I […]
How To Be Fooled
This article was originally published in March 2022. I republish it five months later, in tandem with mainstream reports that the "Homes for Ukraine" scheme has spiralled into unmitigated disaster, with Ukrainians left "homeless and abandoned" and hosts feeling "used and unappreciated". It seems, sadly, that my article aged well... I have just discovered that, […]
Reasons To Be Cheerful
This may seem a rather improbable title for a blog at this particular juncture in human history, whilst we descend ever-further into end-times apocalypse, replete with plagues, pestilence, and pub closures (no!) - but I really mean it. And I intend this article to cheer you up. But, I'm afraid I'm going to have to […]
Thou doth protest too much?
Well, it's been another wild ride these last 24 hours on the Wild West Web, with my having attracted the attentions of a none-too-bright transgender shill (I came to the conclusion this latest one is transgender, since the fake name, "Anna Smith", sounds like the kind of name a man would come up with if […]
No good deed goes unpunished
At about midnight last night, just as I was about to go to bed after a long day mainly taken up with writing letters to schools and councils about their illegal propagandising of four-year-olds, I was doing some "winding down scrolling" on Facebook (as you do - I had switched to night mode and everything), […]
Youthful Cynicism Masquerading As Wisdom
Having just been accused of this on Facebook, on the day my latest ban finally expires - welcome back to the melee! - I thought it made a rather jaunty title for my first post-ban blog. Needless to say, as someone on the wrong side of 35, I am thrilled to be accused of youthful […]
Open letter to CEO of Twitter, Parag Agrawal
Dear Parag, I am writing to you in your capacity as the CEO of Twitter, regarding my recent summary dismissal from the platform due to - so Twitter alleges - spreading misleading and potentially harmful information about COVID-19. I attach for your perusal the email I received from Twitter (see footer), alerting me to the […]
