“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 →

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 →

Britain First!? Have you heard of them? If you have a book of faces then chances are you’ve stumbled across something, perhaps unwittingly, shared from these cretins. 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 →

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 →

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 →

Furious would be a good way to describe how I felt about the people of my hometown when the news broke that UKIP had stormed the recent European elections. They had the majority of the votes in most of the country also, spreading my disgust nationally for all of the wrong reasons. Knee-jerk reactions are … Continue reading →

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 →

For all of the words written, rhetoric delivered and ignorantly received I am wondering if anyone has discovered the answer to society’s problem. It would seem that after all of this time, where an immeasurable effort was put into realising that there is a problem and were all doomed, somebody would have found a solution … Continue reading →

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 →
