GE 2024 Candidate Responses - ANDREW COOPER (Green)
Last month, I wrote to the candidates standing in the General Election for my constituency, including the Green Party's Andrew Cooper, to enquire into their stances on key issues - you can see my letter here. Three weeks later, when Mr. Cooper had still not responded, I sent the letter again, asking for a prompt […]
The insidious infertility agenda
"When they're through with Africa, they're coming for you," - Dr. Stephen Karanja (from the short film, 'Infertility: A Diabolical Agenda') I don't know if you've noticed, but in the last ten years or so, there's been a dramatic shift in the media messaging directed at women concerning having children. For years, the legacy press, […]
A Bridgen way too far
A rather notable anniversary is coming up this month regarding my massive missives (and more), as the 19th May 2024 marks the one year commemoration of one of my most widely read, broadly shared, and hotly hated epistolary contributions ever... my open letter to "lone hero" Andrew Bridgen. If you are a newer reader, please […]
Wolves are more dangerous than sheep
From when we are very small, we are tutored in the idea of the "saviour hero" defeating evil and putting everything to rights. Whether it's the handsome Prince saving Cinderella from her evil stepmother, or John McClane in Die Hard saving the world (again), this is part of our cultural story arc from virtually the […]
Breathfaking
I don't usually like talking numbers (when you didn't pass your Maths GCSE until the age of 31, you generally don't...), and I realise mentioning salaries is terribly uncouth and un-English (maybe the Russian lessons are having more impact than I thought?), but I've discovered some particularly salient facts - or rather, figures - that […]
Gillick Competency and Implied Consent
(A new page from my health resource, Informed Consent Matters, including a template letter to send to schools.) If you are a parent or carer of a child under 16, then Gillick competency and implied consent are very important concepts to be aware of, especially once your child becomes secondary school-aged. The Gillick competency ruling, a landmark legal case […]
Meeting people where they are: it matters
Imagine, if you will, that you were a piano teacher, recruiting for new students... Whilst your melodious marketing endeavours might attract the occasional attentions of an already highly adept musician who simply wanted to brush up on their skills, on the whole, the people who seek the tuition of piano teachers are those who have […]
Communism isn't the only dangerous form of collectivism
"The truth movement's over!" "The awake community's been destroyed by in-fighting!" "People need to get over their differences and unite if we're ever going to win!" How many times have we heard the above soundbites in the last four years, with these sentiments becoming ever-more amplified recently, especially by self-appointed "leaders" (more on them later)? […]
THROWBACK THURSDAY: Science Sold Out
I started producing article-length content back in 2020 (after several years' prerequisite angry Facebook rants first...), and, as my audience has grown quite a bit since then, this is the first in a new series of 'throwback' pieces, to introduce newer readers to pieces of interest they might have missed the first time. Today's article […]
What can we expect as we enter 2024?
An update from my health resource, Informed Consent Matters A very Happy New Year to you from Informed Consent Matters, and we hope you've enjoyed a relaxing festive season, undisrupted by the waves of illness that seem to have plagued many households. The Telegraph newspaper reported that, this year, "everyone" would be getting "Covid for Christmas", and sadly, […]
