Well Done! You Tolerated This (Final Post)

The wise will start planning for a post-oil future now

…or at the very least a future where high prices place the crucial resource/products created  using oil out of reach of many ordinary consumers. Putting to one side for a moment of the contributions of oil to climate change, ‘Peak Oil’ offers a clue as to why we all need to be concerned about reliance [...]

The Truth About The Economy

Robert Reich connects the dots on the economy, in less than 2 minutes and 15 seconds. Who knew he could draw!?!

Why the long face? No, it’s not because you’re a horse. It’s because you’re a twat.

A new hobby of mine is going to the local petting zoo and shouting obscenities at the animals which reside there. Most people that I tell this secret to assume that I’m a massive dickhead; some call me a mentally deranged twat, and one even referred to me as a “completely mental fucking cunt”. But, [...]

My Favourite Joke? Why, Nick Griffin and the BNP Of Course

If there’s one thing I enjoy more than following the fratricidal intrigue of the looney-left, it’s whiling away the hours checking out what Nick Griffin and his bunch of crazy British National Party goons are up to. As it stands, the ridiculous-cum-sinister merry go round that is the far right is rapidly gaining dizzying levels of speed [...]

It’s Back to the Future, Stupid!

Certain triggers – be they sounds, smells, tastes, or tactile feelings – can create within a person an overwhelming urge to be somewhere, or some-when else. This morning, for instance, as I upended my jeans in search of some spare change, gravity sent a slow trickle of sand bouncing onto my bedroom floor. At that [...]

A Quick Word on Osama Bin-Laden

Was he armed? Were the Pakistani’s aware of his location? Did President Obama watch his death via a SEAL head-cam? Is this a victory in the War on Terror? Was the bearded one a porn addict? All good questions, but none which I care to attempt answers to. Retributive violence is not justice. No matter [...]

Is the EU Reaching the Limits of Enlargement?

It is arguable that the dynamism with which the states of the EU have proceeded with enlargement and integration, has been unparalleled in the history of International Relations. Since its inception in 1951 the EU, which originally entailed a modest agreement on coal and steel production, has evolved into a supranational politico-economic union with its [...]

Pomp and Circumstance

A strange procession of feudal anachronisms,  medieval fables, and VW minibuses. We British (or for those Welsh and Scots who prefer to be distanced from this sort of nonsense - English) are an odd bunch. Sometimes we revel in our forward thinking, at other times we desperately cling to the existing relics of our past. Perhaps there is nothing wrong [...]

A Few Reasons Why You Should Be Angry

LMAO to the bank Acronyms are quite the obscurifying construct. They transform long, complicated, and often confusing concepts, into a streamlined, simple, and friendly set of letters. Want to detoxify an odorous brand? Get that tip-ex out. Worried that a scheme to lay off thousands of workers will be viewed as just that? Ellipses will [...]
