This blog was offline from April 2023 until March 2024. Sorry! Normal sevice has, perhaps, been resumed.

I have added a few short items I originally posted to facebook during the offline period. They are dated with the date of the original facebook post.

The blog was also offline from October 2021 to 12 March 2022. One or two items posted prior to October 2021 escaped inclusion in backups and it has not been possible to restore them.

The blog may be a bit wobbly on its feet for a bit, so please be patient if you come across anything that looks a bit dishevelled or doesn’t quite work properly. I’ll try to fix any problems as they emerge, and perhaps also to make some improvements.

Feel free to contribute via the comments. To do so you’ll need to register an account (which will be approved manually, so please be patient) or login using your facebook or twitter account. However you log in, your first comments will need to be approved manually, so again please be patient. I hope this doesn’t sound tedious. It has to be better than facebook, doesn’t it?

If commenting, just bear in mind what I’ve said before:

“If you are socialism-averse, or you are thrilled by the sight of military parades, or you worry that Europe is being Islamified, or you fear that your town is about to be swamped by immigrants, or you are fond of locking people up and throwing away the key, or you think Britain’s security services are doing a great job, you probably won’t like this blog. You’d be much happier somewhere else.”

You’ll also be unhappy here if you’re thrilled by the prospect of war with Russia, or if you don’t like to describe Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide.

Comments along any of those lines are unlikely to be treated kindly. But if that’s not you, you’re welcome.
