Good Atheism – The ability to defend a person’s right to be completely wrong.

Ubiquitous pork-scratching David Cameron has spent the last few weeks declaring his devotion to Christianity in the press and generally making a mockery of the country he governs. A pretty solid performance from our Emperor I think you’ll agree. I’m not sure what sort of campaign manager he’s got in place for the run-up to … Continue reading

September is a genocidal maniac

September is the shittiest month of the year. Its thirty days long and carved from the most potent of turds and designed specifically with depression, dejection and fear in mind. More powerful than January with its depleted monetary issues and it makes April’s ‘end of tax year’ obstacles seem like a distant holiday. Think about … Continue reading

All comics and no Internet make Jack a surprisingly happy boy

We’ve recently experienced a prolonged period of time without the Internet at home. This was forced upon us by our terrifyingly poor provider and was not a misguided, middle class crusade to ‘go all analogue’ so I can invite my friends round for a vegan dinner party, display sickening feelings of superiority and show off … Continue reading

Designer hand me down nonsense in the key of tweed

Taking to the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury to close the festival after only two albums would be considered something of an achievement for most bands. Unfortunately, this proved as difficult a task as it sounds and without an extensive catalogue of hits London’s disciples of tweed Mumford and Sons stumbled there way through a set … Continue reading

Outrage has a shelf-life shorter than a Neo-Nazi’s haircut

What a marvel the modern world is. As a race we have streamlined everything, turning the theory behind instant coffee into a way of life. Everyone knows that freeze died coffee isn’t that great but we all happily throw it down our throats so we can quickly get on with the important business of not … Continue reading

But you are racist Tommy, you and your cult

I don’t know a great deal about what happened in Woolwich last week. This is because no one does. That terrifying, barbaric act of murder needs explaining at the earliest opportunity but due to the nature of it no reasoning will ever adequately satisfy our need to know the why. Maybe this is because it’s … Continue reading

The Secret: All your wishes are in the catalogue. Part: 1

The political disappearance of the left wing in the western world has given rise to the commercialisation of alternative living. Former gatherings of those seeking the counter culture, like Glastonbury Festival, now resemble vessels for mass marketing and capitalist principles. Finding new ways of conducting yourself through this minefield of profit driven ideology, hypocritically, results … Continue reading

Frisking for facts.

You are not ever allowed to discover anything new ever again ever. You are not allowed to find something enjoyable on a whim, stumble across something creative that may make your brain do a think or act in any sort of random way. In fact, without being armed with encyclopedic knowledge of whatever your choice … Continue reading

The Modern Man 3: A question of pub politics and digital ninjas.

Hello, I’m a modern man. My life is more exciting than yours and I’m going to tell you about it. In the online world of social networking you can consider me an authority on any subject raised for discussion. Politics, acts of terrorism and natural disasters are my bread and butter. Popular opinions are my … Continue reading

I read the news today oh boy. . .

. . .wrote John Lennon when penning his half of the closing track to Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. By all accounts, not a great deal had happened that day unless you count a large number of holes in the Blackburn area as cutting edge news. The subject matter here is not the point. … Continue reading
