Neither of my parents were exactly space buffs but if, back in the heady days of Armstrong and co., you had asked them when their offspring would first see man in the general vicinity of the Moon, they probably wouldn’t have picked the early years of his sixth decade. Back then, there was a general […]

As regular readers will know, last year I was dismissed from my job in media by sad little ideologues, and proceeded to life on the dole, with a short period at the Royal Mail. I’ve recently started a new job, which I will talk about more in posts to come, but I’d like to tell you now about the

In the grand, screaming history of bad-faith complaints, a new artefact has been unearthed. Behold, the digital Rosetta Stone of our era’s intellectual rot: a user review of a pornographic AI, specifically one designed for ‘tranny’ (a slur, but let’s not pretend decorum is the issue here), rage-posting that the AI is… too liberal. (Many thanks to Roger Watson for locating and

For the public health sceptic, monkeypox is the gift that keeps on giving. Hot off the press is a case that has rocked the worlds of virology and epidemiology, with the monkeypox virus facing accusations of plagiarism. Plagiarism, the deliberate use of the words or ideas of others without attribution while passing them off as

Being a Homeric hero was, my tutor once opined, quite a sweet deal. Few of them actually die in battle, but they get huge amounts of status. And they spend most of their time eating roast beef. The Iliad shows both sides sacrificing a hecatomb (100 oxen) at the drop of a hat to win divine
In the summer of 2020, the world fixated on a single phrase: “I can’t breathe.” George Floyd, pinned beneath a Minneapolis police officer’s knee for nine minutes and 29 seconds, uttered those words repeatedly as life drained from him. The video was visceral, the outrage instantaneous and global. Fast-forward to the early hours of 3rd

The latest death On 3rd December last year, 18-year-old Henry Nowak, a first-year student at the University of Southampton, was stabbed four times by his alleged attacker, Vickrum Digwa. As a Sikh, Digwa was permitted to carry a ceremonial kirpan knife. Perhaps this wasn’t butch enough however, so he decided to complete his arsenal with

One of the things the Establishment hates is individualism. They get unhappy when you don’t toe the line on, say, voting to remain in the EU. They stop you from complaining about the affects of immigration on your town, they dislike you visiting Wetherspoons, they get twitchy if you point out men can’t become women,

It had been one of those weeks. It was not that anything had gone badly wrong, but more that nothing had gone particularly right. It could have been different – a push here, a nudge there, and it would have been a good week. But neither push nor nudge came and so it ended on

‘Division’ is one of those overused wank-words governments employ to tell you whose side of the debate you should find yourself on. In Britain, towns increasingly split along religious fault lines, migrants who refuse either to follow our laws or integrate, and grooming gangs that target white, working-class girls, calling them “white slags”, are euphemised
