I have been saying for ages that the Far Right and modern Neo-Nazis are a serious threat to both Britain and Europe and are going to cause major problems in society. But a lot of people are so rabidly anti-EU (some for good reasons) and anti-migration that they refuse to or fail to see it; […]
I can’t quite remember the last time a ‘breaking news’ story depressed me so much: or lowered my faith in human beings and society so much and so instantly. And before anyone starts beating their chest or throwing things, this isn’t a politicized post or anything with an agenda: it’s about a human being, and […]
This is a brief addendum to my post on Monday about the Orlando Massacre narrative: because subsequent oddities and inconsistencies in the story keep cropping up. I said on Monday that the story doesn’t add up; well it’s adding up even less now. Too many things have appeared in the media or online for me […]
I’m not going to spend too long on this; as I’ve said before, I’m getting tired of this whole subject area. Firstly, everyone who was killed, injured or traumatised by the attack in Orlando were innocent victims who deserved better – and who also deserve better than to be turned into a propaganda tool by […]

“It’s scandalous,” former Ohio State Senator Nina Turner complained. “It’s absolutely scandalous and it really feeds into what Sanders supporters believe… that this whole thing was rigged right from the beginning.” The Associated Press announcement, on Monday, that Hillary Clinton is now decisively the Democrat nominee and Bernie Sanders is basically out of the race […]

It also caused on online uproar and made headlines across most major American media outlets, along with accusations of ‘anti-Semitism’ and the writer even receiving death […]
If any further proof were needed that was has recently occurred in Brazil has been a pre-planned coup, the country’s ‘interim’ government – led by immensely unpopular and illegitimate Michel Temer – is already being undermined by a leaked audio tape indicating that the impeachment of democratically elected president Dilma Rousseff was a pre-planned conspiracy. […]
Brazil is in a crisis, that’s for sure. But general Western media portryal of the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff seems only to have presented a simplified, one-sided picture of events. Dilma Rousseff’s supporters call the impeachment process nothing less than a coup. The impeachment effort against Rousseff has been mostly orchestrated by the political, media, […]
Leicester City being crowned English Premier League champions ranks without doubt as one of the greatest sports stories of modern times. Leicester’s historic victory has cost English bookmakers their biggest ever pay-out. They were given 5000-1 odds of winning the league at the start of the season. As several commentators have noted, you would’ve gotten […]
