No CommentsIn my immediate family, I have: one husband, two parents, one grandparent, six aunts and uncles (plus their partners), 15 cousins, and then many more cousins of various stripes and tiers (2nd, 3rd, removed, etc., and no, like everyone else on the planet, I don't know the difference). These further-afield ancestral ties exist not just […]

No CommentsIt would be fair to say that, as a consequence of my (massive) musings on this site, I am often in trouble. Not, however, with the normies (I think they've concluded I'm so far gone, there's no longer any point even trying - even John Bye doesn't expose me any more, despite the fact I've […]

No CommentsWhen I was 12, I - like many inhabiting this age bracket - have to say I regarded myself as rather cool. In many ways, it was quite an improbable self-evaluation, since my favourite band was Take That and I was firmly convinced that denim crop tops with dungaree straps were the last word in […]

No CommentsYou may or may not be aware (and probably aren't, to be fair) that ox sacrifice has historically been a practice in various religions and cultures, including ancient Greece, ancient Rome, and the Rek Dinka of Southern Sudan. Ox sacrifice is also repeatedly mentioned in the Bible, including at Isiah 66:3, Deuteronomy 17, and Exodus […]

No CommentsAlternate title, "Andrew bloody Bridgen again...." - but I thought what I went with was both slightly more poetic, and substantially more accurate, in terms of concisely encapsulating what the interminable bloody Bridgen is up to now... Newer readers may wish to familiarise themselves with the history of Mr. Bridgen's "persecution", not least that which […]

No CommentsIt's been quite a long time since I was last told off by a teacher (and, in fact, the last time I recall it, it was in a sardonic form of 'congratulations', as apparently I had managed to be late for my final year of school 87 times - a record!), but I got quite […]

No CommentsOne of my favourite ever films is the nineties British comedy, 'Nuns on the Run' (my other favourite films include A Fish Called Wanda and Clockwise, and my favourite TV show has always been Fawlty Towers: bet you can't guess what surreal sketch comedy series I was brought up watching...). The plot of Nuns on […]

No Comments"Stay home, save lives." "Hands, face, space." "The rule of six." These moronic, much-mocked mantras were ubiquitous throughout the panto plague (pantos generally being aimed at very young children, the scripting had to have a literacy level to match...), but these phrases weren't just stupid and condescending, they were far more sinister than that, as […]

The email continued (although the jaunty theme rather deteriorated): We have reviewed your content and found severe or repeated violations of our Community Guidelines.

No CommentsI have written to all five General Election candidates standing in my constituency of Huddersfield, asking them to clarify their stances on key issues. You can see my letter here. So far, I have received replies from the Green Party candidate, Andrew Cooper, the Reform party candidate, Susan Laird, and the Liberal Democrats (although not […]
