Hull’s Climate Catastrophe 

Kingston Upon Hull is a city that most people, even those living in Yorkshire – where Hull is located – have never visited and which a great many people who have, wish they had not. If many of the residents of Hull had two beans to rub together, most of them would catch the next train out of town and never return. I am, […]

At War With the Machines

Those who know me, or have read my column for a while now, might be under the impression that I’m a bit of a whinger. They’re right, of course, but on occasion the whinging is justified. Just as the proof of the pudding is in the eating, the truth of any article is in the

I Hate Islam

I hate Islam. I detest it. I despise it. I loathe it. I abhor it. I’m really not very keen on it. It is a religion invented by an illiterate seventh-century goat-herder who married a six-year-old girl. Along with the ideas of Karl Marx, Islam is the worst set of ideas ever to be vomited

But today is also another remarkable day in my own history, as I decided not to renew my registration as a nurse with the

From the Man Cave XXIX

No sooner is one column filed than the relentless stream of nonsense, irritations and wokery floods in again. Today I cover the Gorton and Denton by-election, more Covid bollocks this time from Greece (and courtesy of our other Hull columnist) and colour-blind casting. The Halal-Organic coalition Quite what just happened in the Gorton and Denton by-election is

DAFTAs

I am delighted by the news that it will soon be acceptable to discriminate against disabled people (sorry, that should be ‘people with disabilities’). How often have you fumed as one of the wheelchair classes is wheeled to the front of the queue when boarding a plane or, in fact, whisked past you in almost

As-salamu alaykum. Thanks to a local friend and fellow TNC columnist who pays much closer attention to current affairs than I do, I get the occasional snippet that, otherwise, I would have missed. Muslims making a mint As this is the most holy, glorious and venerable month of Ramadan, we must all do our bit to

Streets For People

  Much as I admired the calm common sense of the WPC who took no nonsense from some ‘offended Moslems’ in the East End: Offended by a Christian preacher. Called the police. Literally cannot get it into their heads that in England it is not a crime to say something they might not like about
