“Ok, someone in a pub tries to punch you in the face. You ‘raise hands’, deflect the blow, yielding so the punch follows through and unbalances the puncher, whilst moving to the side. You take the arm, put on an outside wrist-lock, twist it round, then step through the (would have been a) puncher with – Read More-
I want to save the planet. All by myself. I want to stop carbon emissions. I want nuclear power and an end to fossil fuels. I want no more birds with asthma. I want pollution to become an historical artefact. You don’t need to have factories spewing out shit from their chimneys; you can use – Read More-

I met my mp last Sunday. He’s a Tory. Nice little fella. Mike Freer. All round good guy, nice guy and decent bloke.

I couldn’t… Actually, although I feel for Watford, many fans of which are personal acquaintances, it doesn’t really make me HAPPY happy. Just, kind – Read More-
A young boy, a teenager really, was arrested yesterday at an airport after being found to have become radicalised by the evil preachings found on his computer.
