Have we discovered the power of the Selenites?
This might look the stuff of science fiction but it isn’t. A recent discovery (depending on who one reads) has shown there appears to be a perpetual motion machine that can be powered by light, yes light and nothing more! It also pertains to a scientific notion espoused in theContinue Reading
Trump loses his shit
Finally he’s been unseated after four years of nothing but total fucking embarrassment to the whole world. Even in the final moments he continued losing his shit by throwing all the toys out of his pram. He couldn’t even put on big boy pants that were large enough for himContinue Reading
The Time? Machine
The Time Machine was released sixty years ago today and I went to review the film upon its premiere on 22 July 1960 in Chicago, US. It also gave me an opportunity to observe at first hand a famous US Class 1 Transcontinental railroad – which would within a coupleContinue Reading
An obnoxious police officer – and the fall out
We’ve been down this road both in the US and the UK. Police officers kill Blacks and get away with it. Its very rare they get sentenced, if anything. Policing is obviously designed to be impervious, indeed legally protected, from any outrages that have ensued. Take a police officer toContinue Reading

You’ve heard of the film Natural Born Killers. Natural? Are we naturally born to kill? Or are we socially constructed to kill? I think its the latter. And here’s my take on why that is. Natural Born Killers is about Mickey and Mallory Knox. Mass killers with a lust forContinue Reading

How England got plastinated…
Storm Ciara, Storm Dennis. Floods! Floods! Yet more floods. High speed watercourses sending large portacabins down what were once mere roads. It seems its getting worse. Is it global warming? Or is there something else that is happening that we haven’t yet acknowledged? I think its the latter. Even theContinue Reading
An Oxford Union incident…
The treatment of Ebenezer Azamati at Oxford University’s Oxford Union meeting is disgusting. Absolutely. Totally. There’s no excuse for the treatment he had. Its fully understandable what he was doing. Pictures of the debating room at the time shows the Oxford Union debating room very tightly packed and that firstContinue Reading
The Met’s Operation Midland
No doubt you have heard of this ‘OM’ – or Operation Midland – and how the police grovelled and tried to claim it was all in order. It too was claimed the Met officers simply had ‘no malice’ of any sort against any of the accused when it came toContinue Reading
Facial recognition in use at King’s Cross…
Reports on facial recognition being used at King’s Cross and the idea that it should be implemented at Canary Wharf is a very interesting matter. Is it legit? Has permission been sought? And why are there no signs warning of its use? These questions are so far unanswered. One thingContinue Reading
