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 […]

No CommentsAs many regular subscribers to this website are aware, last Thursday, I stood for the council in the local elections, as a Freedom Alliance candidate. You can read the full backstory regarding how this rather improbable scenario occurred here... Why improbable? Well, because until 2021, I had never even voted. I didn't believe in it. […]

5 CommentsI haven't watched terrestrial TV for many years (to the extent that Scott and Charlene's recently announced "shock return" to Neighbours was largely a shock to me as I didn't entirely realise they'd left...), but I do watch carefully selected films from time to time, because films - along with the printed press - give us some […]

No Comments(Reflections on 10 days pavement-pounding for Freedom Alliance) 1. You get out in the sun for hours at a time, meaning I have gone from "pale computer face" (which would be my Indian name) to actually having a bit of a tan... 2. You cover a lot more ground than you think, and easily average […]

5 Comments(Originally published 28/03/22, re-published 27/04 to coincide with local press coverage.) There are many ways one might have chosen to spend the sunniest Saturday of the year so far, as was bestowed on us a couple of days ago, but perhaps one of the less obvious is dressing up as a Jehovah's Witness and going […]

No CommentsIt's not exactly a ground-breaking revelation to state that we live in a very divided society: perhaps more divided than we have ever been. We're divided over Covid, over Brexit, over the environment, over diet, over pretty much any and all issues you can think of (and, of course, this is largely manufactured and by […]

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 […]

One CommentI am thrilled to report that, in this era of perennial doom, gloom, and aforementioned homicidal psychopaths, that I have had a simply splendiferous weekend. The reason for this is that I have spent much of it in a state of near-delirious hysteria. Now, many of my critics may say I spend most of the […]

No CommentsI was in the back of a taxi the other day, and had the most curious experience of listening to "the news", something I have vigorously avoided for many years. In this "news" bulletin, the honeyed-voiced presenter was interviewing a military expert, who earnestly expressed his concern that the citizens of Russia are victims of […]

2 CommentsI must confess, I did think after the machinations of total madness that characterised the last two years, that I was largely unshockable where it came to the lengths of lunacy the masses would go to if instructed by the TV. But I was wrong. Oh so very wrong. When I heard last week that […]
