No CommentsApart from, “I like your hat, is it real fur, where did you get it?” (thanks, no, it was a present), the question I am most frequently asked remains the one in the title… It’s usually put to me online, so I can’t completely accurately discern tone, but I imagine a mocking, scoffing one, followed […]

No CommentsWhen 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 […]

No CommentsIt is no great revelation that life was a lot easier in the '90s, but one rather overlooked advantage of existing at that time was how much easier it was to watch a good film. You just waited until 9pm on Friday or Saturday night, and there'd be something entertaining and scintillating and well worth […]

No CommentsOne 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 […]

No CommentsIn what should have been one of major scoops of the century, Alex Kriel from the Thinking Coalition exposed a few days ago that the UK has become a de facto dictatorship. Very quietly, and with no pomp, ceremony, or even the briefest of mentions on page 37 of the Swindon Observer, the UK government […]

No CommentsIn a sort-of sequel to my last article on cancer, I reprise an article from 2023 that delved more deeply into the true causes of, and cures to, poor health. The article has been slightly amended and updated with a new section at the end.... The subject of health has been on my mind a […]

No CommentsLast October, I attended the funeral of a friend of mine. He wasn’t a very close friend, but I had got to know him reasonably well during the “Covid” debacle, about which we had similar beliefs, and we attended several of the same events, protests, and demos. In 2023, my friend - who was unvaccinated […]

No CommentsA few days ago, I was struck with the strange, strong, and thoroughly insatiable urge to watch old '90s clips of (long-running Australian soap opera) Neighbours on YouTube. Like most people who were school-aged in the 1990s, I loved Neighbours - and one of the biggest attractions of negotiating a day off school was getting […]

No CommentsEvery time a self-styled "freedom fighter" or "truth teller" loses their case in court - which they virtually always do - these results are met with howls of recrimination from their supporters that the courts are corrupt. And... I mean... yeah. Obviously. The police are corrupt, the NHS is corrupt, the media certainly is, so […]

No CommentsA theme we have explored at this site before is the role in the grand global deception of "Special Agent TV Doctor". This dubious description refers to those who claim medical credentials, but who, rather than spending much time practicing on patients (or, indeed, any whatsoever in some cases), instead give innumerable media interviews, write […]
