"Neurodiversity", needles, and 9am gin...
One 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 […]
Bookworm or brainworm?
Inspired (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 […]
The Trust Trap
Someone 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 […]
How to become a psyop star
Imagine 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 […]
Who is Miri AF?
It's come to my attention recently that, due to the apparently over-the-proverbial-puncturing-board nature of some of my articles (Charlie Kirk in particular), some individuals have taken to circulating some rather - shall we say - creative commentary relating to my supposed personal history, all with the aim of "proving" that I am some sort of […]
"Just how big do you think the conspiracy is?"
Apart 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 […]
The best way to control the opposition...
When 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 […]
The calm before Reform
It 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 […]
Lost in lockstep
One 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 […]
Putting the "ick" in dictatorship
In 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 […]
