The Great Pandemic Robbery

Posted on July 30, 2021

Through my business, I have been hearing various tales of pandemic fraud. These have generally come from sources close to contractors or businesses taking advantage of self-employed grants and government backed loans. Some of these tales have a whiff of bar stool bullshit about them, whilst others get me feeling agitated. A pandemic, you might hope, would be a collective effort, not a moment of opportunism where hastily put together rescue ...

Daft Superstitions and Nice Footballers

Posted on July 10, 2021

I was speaking to a chap I know the other day and I mentioned our cricket club had been showing football on the TV if he wished to watch the final there.

Last night, when Raheem Sterling lost possession to Germany and Muller was sent through, he seemed destined to miss. Had he scored, England would have been on the ropes and another heroic tragedy ...

Canaries, Mines, Denial and Apathy!

Posted on June 24, 2021

After seeing that Dido Harding has applied to become the head of the NHS, I couldn’t help but wonder something. Is Harding employed as the Conservative Populist Party ‘canary down the mine’? Her application has made headlines in anti-populist movements, with plenty of people suitably outraged. Elsewhere, nothing. Apathy, denial, and in some cases, support for her application, is commonplace. The Parliamentary Committee It is ...
