No CommentsWay back in the dim and distant past, in another era, a gentler and more innocent time (around 2021), I developed a little phrase, that has since gone on to be quite widely repeated: 'if you know their name, they're in the game'. I developed this phrase for a specific reason: that, at the time, […]

No CommentsOne of the great things about being a conspiracy theorist is that we need feel no guilt at all about not sticking to our New Year's resolutions, and indeed can feel quite smug about it, since - as all the cool conspiracy kids know - this isn't the real New Year. Celebrating New Year on […]

No CommentsI briefly braved the wilds of Primark the other day, to purchase some winter socks (not the most thrilling introduction to an article, I know, but please bear with me...), and when I entered the store, one of the very first things I saw was this: A t-shirt advertising the dystopian Netflix horror, 'Stranger Things', […]

No CommentsAs I seem to be on a bit of a 'Roald' (argh, sorry) with the exposing of beloved children's literary figures, and their increasingly obvious connections to the occult and trauma-based mind control, it would seem remiss of me to leave out the Dastardly Mr Dahl, not least because I have actually met the man.

No CommentsI had a rather nasty shock earlier this month when, for the first time in a while, I ventured out into Huddersfield town centre on a Saturday night. And the shock was not that I was in Huddersfield town centre on a Saturday night, because, despite the town's less than stellar reputation, I have - […]

No CommentsI had a little chuckle to myself when I learned recently that one of my childhood friends had become a feminist Marxist academic. I wasn't chuckling at her expense (I've met a few feminist Marxists before and I've learned that's not a good idea), but because this was really such a predictable outcome given her […]

No CommentsOne 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 […]

No CommentsInspired (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 […]

No CommentsSomeone messaged me the other day to let me know that the now-legendary (once languishing) Lucy Connolly had begun a Substack (thanks J!). Intrigued, I clicked on the link... only to find I had a pre-emptive block! I've never made any direct attempts at communication with Ms Connolly, so I find the block to be […]

No CommentsImagine the scene: You are 35 years old and your life lies in tatters around you. After a short-lived and tumultuous marriage, your wife has left you, taking your child with her. You lost your job some time ago, and debts are spiralling out of control. With no money or job, you're forced to live […]
