The Mad World of Deadcatting Schofield

Posted on June 1, 2023

I always find it all a bit mad when an alleged TV star sexual abuse story emerges. People of a certain ilk quickly forget the fact they can’t afford to go shopping and pile in with more venom than an outback viper. It drives them out of their minds. Any punishment is too good for a paedo. “Electrocute the bastard, I’ll pull the fucking lever, if they like”. The New Savile Within hours of being accused of lying to Holly ...

The Varying Relationships with Booze

Posted on May 13, 2023

Until Thursday, when I went ‘out, out’, I hadn’t had a drink on a work night this year. I counteracted Thursday by having last night off.

These people weren’t smashing London up, they were arrested for having placards. The right to demonstrate, also known as the right to protest or the freedom of ...

A Trip to Tallinn

Posted on April 30, 2023

The first thing I noticed about Tallinn is it is a beautiful city. Its medieval streets are clean, proud, and intriguing. Arrival On our arrival, we were greeted by cold and clean air and a walk straight into the street of the Russian embassy. Outside were tens of banners expressing hate towards Putin and his brutal, imperial fantasies. I felt a sense that if Putin dared have a go at Estonia, they would fight like dogs to retain their ...
