Wasp

Man and Wasp

I have had a lifelong fear of wasps. I’m not sure where this unusually intense fear originated. Interestingly, it took many years before I was actually stung by one, and it turned out to be a minor event, like a needle prick. Although I have yet to be stung by a bee, they surprisingly don’t […]

London Bridge

Things Can Only Get Worser

If you have ever wondered what it is like being in the midst of a revolution just look around now. This may be a revolution in which the buildings are left standing, but it is a revolution, nevertheless. The ‘long march’ through the institutions was accomplished long ago and we are now witnessing the finishing

Misogyny

‘Extreme Misogyny’

Snipers are in position, the vicinity is blockaded by police cars with blue lights flashing, the SAS are on standby, and a police helicopter is circling overhead. All eyes are on an apartment window about five storeys up and police officers are ready for the order to storm the building. “Anyway Sarge”, pipes up Constable

The Notting Hill Stabfest

The Notting Hill Stabfest (sorry, ‘Carnival’) kicks off today! It’s amazing how quickly these family-friendly events creep up on you – assuming you haven’t already been stabbed this year and are therefore sadly out of commission? As a Londoner myself it’s great to see the capital’s traditions being honoured – with stabbing now as permanent

(the real1960s UK TV version, not the US cinema crap.) If, like me, you don’t watch TV or take any newspapers (thanks Covid), you might still get your fix of what’s

White man in a jail cell

Starmer’s Red Dawn 

Keir Starmer must be remarkably stupid or remarkably brazen if he thinks that the British public cannot work out what he is up to. Perhaps he is both brazen and stupid. Operation Early Dawn, announced this week, will involve keeping prisoners waiting for court appearances in police cells for longer to make room for the

Jeff Berwick: The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (But It’s on Bitchute)

(Photograph: Jberwick, CC0, via Wikimedia Commons) We all have our favourite video-loggers on YouTube or other video platforms, but after a while they tend to become predictable and lose their lustre. However polished their presentation style, the likes of Paul Joseph Watson cannot keep my attention indefinitely. But there is one guy who I have

Words and Actions

One of the essential elements of truth is the use of words according to their accurate definitions. If I think the word red denotes what is classified as green, I cannot accurately identify things that are red. There are layers of meaning to words too. Again, take the word red. It is a colour adjective.
