The Times is reporting that ex Newsnight presenter Paul Mason is thinking about running in Jeremy Corbyn’s seat at the next election. It’s still not clear whether Corbyn will run.

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 […]
A friend told me about Ichimoku, a Japanese trading technique that says our first glance at a graph tells us how things really are. This reminds me of Gerd Gigerenzer’s work on how experts need very little time to get things right and being given too much time can lead to overthinking and failure. In […]

Environmental campaigners appear to have been targeted by security companies linked to London Mayor Sadiq Khan. The protestors intended to unveil a banner about a planned road tunnel outside a Q & A attended by the Mayor at the O2 centre near Canary Wharf.

MI5, MI6, BBC & Richard Sharp – & bonding over Adolph Eichmann
Looks like austerity is a big factor when it comes to trauma in ex forces and emergency response communities. There is the trauma of the job itself and then there is the trauma of there not being enough money to pay to live. Of course this will lead to addictions in order to find ways […]
A language learner and musician recently alerted me to a clip about how Biggie’s rhymes woud mimic the drum solo of a particular jazz musician – I think it’s something we all instinctively know but never directly think about. The clip was easy to find and is as good as I’d hoped. 👇🏿 Having watched […]

metaphysical collateral in motion & other alternating operations of that ilk
Not Tonight, Josephine ! Michelle Mone has been in the news for making a lot of money from the UK Covid PPE contracts. The incestuous collision of public & private money happens time and time again in this country – it’s almost as if it is a way of life. Crew Slut / VIP Lane […]
And who the others that have supposedly been raided? Is the UK all talk and no trousers? Russian money has financed UK legal, finance, & property sectors for some time.

The War on Privacy & Cash – ie Surveillance Capitalism
Amusing Ourselves to Death The thing about UK politics in the latter stages of 2022 is that hardly anyone pays it any mind. And why would they? There’s a World Cup on and only so much information the nation can imbibe. Were you to have been raised to believe in gravity, that the earth is […]

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 […]
So Sir Keir & his fellow paedo lawyers can stop Britain being roused from its diet of 100% 24/7 360° surveillance & programme of subliminal military financialised pavlovian operant conditioning
There’s nothing wrong with putting these photos next to each other. We live in a supposedly free society in which one ought to be able to express oneself freely on any subject. Juxtaposing white UK police taking the knee in 2020 to atone for the killing of George Floyd in America with a black British […]
Police U-Turn on Driving while Black
On the radio this morning I heard the BBC presenters talk about Government recommendations to set up a regulator to oversee professional football. The idea is that the game has become too commercial and the owners not of sound character. One of the commentators in the following article says there are: ‘Too many self-interests in […]
