The New Thing – State Noninformation
Every now and again, one small item of information (or in the modern context, “malinformation” since it is truth that questions government policy) makes a large number of mysterious things plain. This piece by citizen journalist Silver Fox does that for me.

Free speech on Queer Street
There’s a good article by Steven Tucker at Daily Sceptic on the sinister connotations of Queer Theory, which I first wrote about here in 2018. In this piece I want to add how, whether or not “queering” is intended to destroy society, nevertheless it will inevitably do so if permitted to continue. I add a few thoughts on how freedom of speech relates to that.

Socialism = monopolist corporatism
One of the things that marks the satanic nature of the globalist “democratic” agenda, which we must attribute in spades to Keir Starmer as both an avowed supporter of the WEF and a past member of the Trilateral Commission, is the obsessive concealment of its aims from the people, the demos. True, all the unpalatable global aims are on public display on the relevant organisations’ own websites, as I’ve pointed out many times before. But control of the media, both curating the narrative and supplying distractions hedonistic and dystopian, ensures that most people remain in the dark. The real reason for mass immigration, for example – that is covering up … Continue reading

Guthrie Govan – my part in his career
Here’s a low-stress piece for a snowy day here in Britain. Looking on YouTube for a particular musician a year or so ago, I found a clip in which he was playing with a guitarist called Guthrie Govan. The guitarist was stonkingly good. In characteristic YouTube fashion the algorithms then kept offering me other clips demonstrating not only his astonishingly brilliant technique, range of styles, and sheer musicality (in these days of Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift), but his ability as a teacher. By all accounts he’s a really nice bloke as well.

A parable
In a country very extremely far away, the industrial conurbation called Mamukh had become, in effect, run by an organised crime ring formed by gangsters who fled there from another country, Scilia, when its own authorities clamped down. The corruption ran from top to bottom, and everybody knew it. But nobody knew for certain more than affected their own immediate circle, and nobody dared discuss it because… they knew what affected their own immediate circle. But privately it was suspected that even the Mayor and the Chief of Police were either part of the ring, or at least thoroughly compromised by its bribes or blackmail. Still, there were many not … Continue reading

Clearing my mind on COVID
I’ve been ploughing through an astonishing tour-de-force review of the literature, both academic and popular, on COVID-19 by the economist Martin Sewell, available here from Researchgate.

Seeing through democratic smoke
A former medical colleague was urging me recently to lobby my MP to vote against the Assisted Dying Bill. I’ve done my share of ethical lobbying in the past, even on the same subject, contributing to a series of parliamentary consultations as well as twisting the arm of my representative in the Commons. But I think my friend, like so many well-meaning people, has insufficiently realised how Parliament has, especially since the Blair government, changed from being the place where the common people’s views are represented, to the place where they are kept under control by the illusion of representation.

Anomalous parallels
From an article in Spiked: The Guardian put out a news notification that said, ‘Trump becomes the first convicted criminal to win the White House’. A profound observation, for Jesus Christ was the first convicted criminal to rule the universe.

Comparative religion in 2024
Guy Fawkes night today! But nowadays nobody believes in Guy Fawkes any more. However, yesterday my daughter related an incident in her village that casts great light on the religious beliefs of the modern British public.

Legacy
Last week I drove 200 miles to the Essex town where I practised as a doctor for thirty years, my first return visit since I retired in 2008. The reason was the funeral of my then junior partner, who sadly died recently.
