Private PIE
Private Eye did a podcast on UK Establishment paedophilia back in March 2020. No mention of Kincora or Lord Mountbatten. They suggest that rumours about Leon Brittan were started by the Security Services. There was a time when Private Eye would expose UK establishment paedophilia – even while it was infiltrated by the very type […]

Cryptic Conversations on the Cusp of Convention
The shoddy app delivers no less value than the shoddy pen – two cheeks of the same arse.
the bigger picture
Cumulative Returns learning to sit on the sidelines, pay attention to what is going on around me, and say something that is both relevant and performs a relatively healing function has been my life’s greatest challenge small step for man it is too easy to seek attention when it isn’t coming, and take offence when […]
Ichimoku – the power and politics of a single glance
A friend told me about Ichimoku, a Japanese trading technique that says our first glance at a graph tells us how things really are.

Confidence Noncey-Dents
It’s hard to know exactly what prompts the placement of any particular story in the news cycle. Take today’s Times. Evgeny Lebedev’s photo appears and we’re told that he’s only popped into the Lords twice in the last couple of years. Which begs the question, what is he doing there in the first place? Canada […]
Jubilee Britain: “when it comes to blacks, I’m with Enoch,”
