Censorship after Christchurch
BY LIAM DEACON A friend of mine who also works at a national redtop sent me a link the other day, to a copy of the Christchurch terrorist’s live-streamed video of his attack. We now know those sharing it could be arrested for disseminating terrorist material, so it’s probably lucky I declined to open it. I didn’t, however, because I remember Twitter in the “wild west” days, when … Continue reading Censorship after Christchurch
And So It Begins
CSM EDITORIAL For months now Brexiteers have been warning about motorways getting blocked and the real dangers associated with delaying Brexit. That No Deal was actually the easy way out for our ruling class. That their Project Fear would actually only come to pass if they were so stupid as to delay Brexit. Well, last night they were that stupid. This afternoon the M5 and … Continue reading And So It Begins
The Dark Corner
BY MAC LOGAN Smothered, hidden, cobweb-bound, cached facets twitch yet gather dust. No casement dare transparent show the fury, dread and craven lust. There in the dark, restrained, they twitch … and sob and spark and never die. Deep in seams of psyche hid, caged, not dormant. Wild, they lie. Pupae-like they squirm and strain, mutating, breakout ever near. Unpredicted, crouched to pounce, where lost control leaks … Continue reading The Dark Corner
A Month of Carnivore
BY TONY WOODS I am an experimenter. Trying things out and seeing whether they live up to the hype is definitely worth a go, providing it’s not going to kill me or destroy my moral compass. For quite a while I have been hearing about the benefits of veganism. Vegans always seemed a little too angry for me to try going full vegan. However, with … Continue reading A Month of Carnivore

Man Up May – Let’s Just Leave
CSM EDITORIAL Mrs May is off to Brussels to ask for a short delay to the Article 50 process. It is impossible to imagine what her short delay will achieve. The only point of it is to threaten MPs again that if they don’t vote for her deal they risk a no deal exit. This is a threat that has already been used extensively and … Continue reading Man Up May – Let’s Just Leave
TIG is Pointless
BY ANDREW MOODY Yesterday’s news that TIG MPs are being thrown off select committees marks the beginning of the end for this group of “People’s Vote” campaigners. The Ex-Labour ones are already in the process of being unseated by Momentum. The Ex-Tory ones are not welcome in their own constituencies. In short, TIG is gone. Why? They are merely an extension of the EU – … Continue reading TIG is Pointless
Thoughts on Christchurch
BY FRANK HAVILAND Terror attacks are now sadly so ubiquitous, there is usually little left to say which wasn’t said last time, or which won’t be recycled the next. Indeed, many politicians appear to be doing little more than a cut and paste job these days, with the affected grief a trifle harder to muster each occasion the cameras demand it. Perhaps the only thing … Continue reading Thoughts on Christchurch
The Final Countdown
CSM EDITORIAL And so in the final week (or is it 19 days?) there were five choices: Vote for Mrs May’s Deal – Highly Unlikely. Revoke Article 50 – Civil War. A last-minute longer extension offered by the EU before the 29th March/12th April with conditions (likely financial and attached to either a second referendum or some other significant game-changer like a General Election to … Continue reading The Final Countdown
