Mask protest

For the times when there's really no option but to mask up, a few words scrawled on them might retain some semblance of individuality. These are my first efforts. Also considering: "Hi! I am one of Boris Johnson's mute, subservient zombies".

12 reasons why I don't believe there's a climate emergency

I’m not a scientist. But I have reasons why I don’t fully trust the ‘climate emergency’ narrative. Here they are: 1 Looking back through history, there have always been doomsday prophets, folk who say the world is coming to an end. Are modern-day activists not just the current version of this? 2 I look at some of the facts – CO2 is 0.04% of the atmosphere; humans are responsible for just 3% of CO2; Britain is responsible for just 1% of the world’s CO2 output – and I think ‘ really ’? Will us de-carbonising really make a difference to the Earth’s climate? 3 I have listened to some top scientists who say CO2 does not drive global warming; that CO2 in the atmosphere is a good/vital thing; that many other things, like the sun and the clouds and the oceans, are more responsible for the Earth’s temperature. 4 I note that most of the loudest climate activists are socialists and on the Left. Are they not just using this movement to push their dreams of a deindustrialised socialist utopia? And

Is this the death of cinema?

2023’s Oscars ceremony was significant, as it may well have been the last time we see its kind. Because like the terrible idea to expand the football World Cup to 48 teams next time round, the rules are being changed by the Academy. See the press release here , which presents the most serious assault ever seen on the workings of the film industry.   Read it? Then I’ll continue. (Do please read it. It's horrifying. Yes, the Academy has been dodgy and corrupt for years, but this is a new frontier of awfulness.) It was of course a plan conceived in one of the worst years the civilised world has ever seen, 2020, when not only did the compassion fascists fulfil their dream of controlling people’s behaviour to the Nth degree (because of a disease akin to the seasonal flu), but the race obsessives/warriors/grifters fulfilled their dream of making people bend the knee to the great god of anti-racism (because of the death of a black recidivist), actions which did very little to halt the

Is this why Britain is failing?

I work for a company in England that has offices in different countries, including the US. It is a media company. I suspect it’s a fairly typical medium-sized corporation. In this post I will run down some of the things it has done in 2024 – though I could have gone further back (things started changing around 2018, with HR becoming ‘People & Culture’ and then got turbo-charged from 2020 onwards). I’m not saying that all of these things are bad things. Some are quite nice. They are not all ‘woke’. But many are. And taken together they suggest that many British companies in 2024 are perhaps not as focused on their core product as they might be.
