Dissecting the Tommy mind
I decided to do an experiment on my intellect this weekend, I would expose myself to the rhetoric of what is portrayed as the far right wing. I know what I mean by the term right wing, I am in no doubt about what I see this term to represent, but that may change as… Continue reading

Deliberate Abstract
When a circus is in town they put up posters, you could see and know it was a circus flyer from the back of a galloping horse as you passed, you’d likely even catch the venue and date. Yet when you see a planning application stapled to a telegraph pole, that fucker couldn’t be harder… Continue reading

A distinct lack of options
We visit a lot of historical sites, it’s our thing to be curious about why things have turned out as they are, and history provides a great perspective in understanding ideology and structure. I’ve said in previous posts that I think belief underpins ideology, but what of the situations that these ideologies create that affect… Continue reading

Wrongly aimed sympathy
A farming lad or lass, she grows up in the countryside surrounded by nature, the job is hers for life if she wants it and is willing to work hard, the house to live in is free. Her parents will build a bungalow on the land somewhere, no planning permission required just building regs, and… Continue reading

A distinction of wrongs
Today I return to a fascinating and oft misunderstood facet of human freedom, the argument against having our words restrained before we say them. Wallace, not the guy with the dog, has been in the news and we’re all making judgements as usual on what he is accused of. At the point of writing this… Continue reading

End the traditions
I do not wear a poppy…. I’m about to be rather controversial, to say something that many will argue with. I would urge you to first think, then react. We will examine a tradition that I think I understand, that I personally have been very close to and involved in, but I have come to… Continue reading

You didn’t ask!
My TikTok feed is full of white men marching the streets of London calling for an end to immigration. These guys have a cause, not one I believe in, but one they feel strongly about. It made me wonder if they had had any children? I assumed that most of them must have, these are… Continue reading
