Explaining what war is..
I think, in this era, the early parts of this century, it is more important than ever to think about why conflicts arise. We all know the stories of the wars that have happened in history, but in our own time we also know that there is always always always more than meets the eye Continue reading

Anger cannot be ignored
People are rioting, the media is blaming social media and specifically a man known as Tommy Robinson, but what exactly is going on? In the simple explanation, the far-right has risen and they have used misinformation to weaponise fear and sympathy into public anger. For me it is too simple to present people as thugs Continue reading

RIP Capt Tom, and bugger off Pudsy
Rip Capt Tom, a man whose actions to raise money for charity, while the government DELIBERATELY (imho) sought out the worst value for money it could find for healthcare provision so, I assume, it could fill the pockets of certain family members and old pals under the falsehood of expediency (it wasn’t), was indicative of Continue reading

Correct, still an asshole maybe
I’m talking about Elon Musk, maybe he’ll sue me over this piece, though that would be pointless as I have nothing. He is correct in what he is doing however, letting his X platform host whatever from whomever. Before you react, let’s examine why I think this… I’m not a journalist, but I write. I’m Continue reading

Blighty Lockdown Etiquette
Typical British etiquette, I’m in the queue at the pharmacy about 3 back of 6 waiting when a woman arrives at the front of the queue who just needs to “check something” she says, so she goes in next when the previous comes out, and not one of us says anything of course. Out she Continue reading

Experimenting with echoes
Recently I have been conducting a highly scientific experiment on the power of suggestion. I have been repeating a phrase over and over, not repetitively but just when I can find a way to squeeze it in, to two children that a good friend of mine is related to. Let’s call them Fuzz and Rona Continue reading

We’re not having it..
Inspired by trump supporters rallying again against their own democracy, Em and I have decided we will no longer accept any truth we disagree with and become ridiculous, as it seems to be on trend….. For the rest of this week we intend to be flat earthers, next week we’ll worship the spoon god and Continue reading

They do what they are
I envy those who do what they are… I work to earn, to spend the tokens I have earned on things I may need or want. I have to train to do this work because it has process and necessity for others in a chain of events that produces a thing or an outcome. It’s Continue reading
