For Conspiracy Theorists, the truth is in the fiction.
Congratulations conspiracy theorists, you have won! You have got my full attention at the moment and I’m definitely ashamed to say I’m completely obsessed. This prelude to the apocalypse that we’re all living through has given you everything you ever wanted, a platform, an international conspiracy and a captive audience (literally held captive in their … Continue reading
2016 – Ground Zero for the Apocalypse?
You’ve got four years to look at him America. FOUR YEARS, at least! You’ll see him every morning on Fox News. You’ll sit at the breakfast table with him whilst eating your bullet shaped cereal with a semi-automatic spoon. You’ll go to work and maybe go a couple of hours without laying eyes on him … Continue reading
Hope is a dangerous thing.
“Let me tell you something my friend. Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane.” Red – The Shawshank Redemption I just woke up, not twenty minutes ago, shocked, bewildered and crushed by tiredness and this inescapable sense of doom surrounding the Conservative Party’s projected victory in this election. There were moments … Continue reading
Feed the World? Let them know we’ll care when it gets here
What is there to be done about charity singles? I’m almost afraid to say but the sentiment is lost on me. I’m sure the intentions for the most part are honourable and I’m certain that Geldof really does give a shit about the Ebola crisis. The problem is the final product is less than the … Continue reading

I say unwittingly but this is not to mock the person who hit the share button as this act takes a micro-second of anyone’s busy schedule and not, … Continue reading
Scottish independence and the eight-legged Emperor.
Did you see David Cameron give that speech in Scotland? If not, then go and find that video and try and watch it without something appalling happening to your face. What a dreadful man he really is. I used to think that his smugness was impenetrable, like a thick layer of weapons-grade entitlement but there … Continue reading
The Great British Turn Off
Has anyone turned on the news recently? This is not a trick question, I’m asking because I’ve had two weeks away from work so I actually spent some time enjoying myself and didn’t feel a need to constantly check my misery device for signs of life outside of office based stupidity. Admittedly, it’s more than … Continue reading
Yes I am British but, apparently, twenty-four times a foreigner
KING ARTHUR: He is the keeper of the Bridge of Death. He asks each traveller five questions KNIGHT: Three questions. KING ARTHUR: Three questions. He who answers the five questions KNIGHT: Three questions. KING ARTHUR: Three questions may cross in safety. ROBIN: What if you get a question wrong? KING ARTHUR: Then you are cast … Continue reading
So, whose vision of the future did we end up with?
I remember seeing them for the first time. They were dancing around each other, all ill fitting trousers and closed eyes, like nobody was watching and they were lost in some distant sort of hallucination. I didn’t even know clothes could be made from those colours. It was my first experience of a music festival, … Continue reading
