Goodbye, T

BY THE EDITOR A couple of weeks ago, Tarquin Sutherland died in his flat in Devon. The errant son of a famous conductor, the friend (and foe) of many, ‘T’ (as most knew him) led an extraordinary life – choosing the alternative path of rockstar rebellion whenever that dull option called normality presented itself to him. I call T ‘him’ as that was who he … Continue reading Goodbye, T

Transtoryphobia

BY TARQUIN SUTHERLAND After last week’s storm in a soy latte that was the Labour Party Conference and the frankly hilarious inability of the comrades attending to be able to define just what constitutes a ‘woman’ even in this day and age – an imbecilic debacle to be forever known as ‘cervixgate’ – we have the Conservative Party Conference in full swing now held in … Continue reading Transtoryphobia

Tiers Before Bedtime

BY TARQUIN SUTHERLAND Is the fact that we appear to be staggering blindly into a two-tier society worth crying about? It should be. Tears of remorse, maybe? Or as in ‘for crying out loud’? The comedian Geoff Norcott recently cracked a gag about the position we have found ourselves in, it goes: Person 1: “Do you regret voting for a Conservative government?” Person 2: “I … Continue reading Tiers Before Bedtime

Snitchers’ Paradise

BY TARQUIN SUTHERLAND There has been much in the news of late to perturb the deeper thinker – regardless of so-called ‘conspiracy theories’. It does not really matter what one might think of David Icke, but his recent banning from social media platforms should worry all and any that consider the notion of Freedom of Speech an inalienable right. It appears that we are staggering … Continue reading Snitchers’ Paradise

Conservatives Must Reclaim Green

BY TARQUIN SUTHERLAND I like many have made the long and tortuous journey from the Left of politics to the Right. As such, I feel afforded a viewpoint whereby the machinations of organised politics have never really fitted in anywhere along the linear spectrum at any given time. Now, in my mid-fifties, I find myself scratching my head over the notion of just how and … Continue reading Conservatives Must Reclaim Green

Big Tech Too Big

BY TARQUIN SUTHERLAND “I am not a number, I am a free man!” So began the seminal 60s TV series, The Prisoner. Upon recently revisiting this evermore prescient work by the sorely missed Patrick McGoohan, I was struck by the thought; ‘I wonder what he witnessed?’, as it is chock full of the echoes of future-shock. “Be seeing you” the characters chirpily say to one … Continue reading Big Tech Too Big

Education or Indoctrination?

BY TARQUIN SUTHERLAND An education in the facts about how we as a species continue to reproduce was once in the realms of Science and Biology. Those days are now quickly being brushed under the educational carpet as the Government succumbs to the LGBTQ lobby and lumps everything under the heading of ‘Health and Relationships’. Now, nobody seriously doubts that a certain amount of lesson … Continue reading Education or Indoctrination?

Parent 1 Parent 2

BY TARQUIN SUTHERLAND Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh… you know the rest. Roll on to 2019, and – you guessed it – it’s ‘transphobic, cisnormative and exclusionary’. At the very start of Aldous Huxley’s seminal novel of 1931, Brave New World, we get plunged into what must have, at the time, seemed an utterly absurd concept. That of school-children giggling over ‘naughty’ words – something they … Continue reading Parent 1 Parent 2

Face Criminals

BY TARQUIN SUTHERLAND And so, the modern transnational Left descends even further into absurdity with the adoption of Orwell’s ‘face-crime’. The fact that the look on the face of just one young lad can single-handedly cause a meltdown of such titanic proportions would be risible – if it weren’t for the fact that the reaction to the initial, highly-edited video clip was so uniformly monstrous. … Continue reading Face Criminals

Non Player No Character

BY TARQUIN SUTHERLAND Twitter has suspended hundreds of accounts after users on pro-Trump Reddit forum r/The_Donald coordinated efforts to set up ‘non-player character’ profiles mocking liberals on the social networking site. The trolling campaign was born out of the characterisation of liberals as automatons incapable of independent thought on areas of Reddit and 4chan. In 24 hours there were more than 30,000 uses of the … Continue reading Non Player No Character

Around the Bend

BY TARQUIN SUTHERLAND So, did you hear about the latest EU Directive? Apparently, some poor chap had an accident on a farm. Yes, farms can be dangerous places and accidents will happen. Don’t worry! The European Union to the rescue! In some no doubt well-appointed office somewhere on the continent, a group of faceless bureaucrats have taken it upon themselves to use this accident as … Continue reading Around the Bend

Marxists Can’t Laugh

BY TARQUIN SUTHERLAND It’s a larf, innit? As any sane person knows, those that fail to appreciate the sheer absurdity of the accident of their own birth – or worse, wilfully ignore it – are either the dullest of self-aggrandising morons or overt fascists of one stripe or another and most usually an unedifying combination of the two. Here in Britain we have a long, … Continue reading Marxists Can’t Laugh

Welcome to the TERF Wars

BY TARQUIN SUTHERLAND It was some two hundred thousand years ago that our early ancestors made use of the two unique gifts that our burgeoning sentience brought us – those of pattern recognition and imagination. It was then that time came into being – and from that moment on we were propelled forward into an ever increasing and ever more complex world of civilisation. What … Continue reading Welcome to the TERF Wars

The Ducking Stool

BY TARQUIN SUTHERLAND Don’t do it, Lord Sugar. Refuse. Point blank. You cannot win. The charismatic Amstrad boss and erstwhile telly star of The Apprentice has landed himself in hot water of late – for tweeting ‘spicy’ memes on the internet. How dank, as the youngsters say. Sugar’s bosses at Creepy Uncle Beeb however were not so impressed with his antics and the modern-day mob … Continue reading The Ducking Stool

What’s in a Word?

BY TARQUIN SUTHERLAND To make sense of the way the western world is at the moment one simply must understand the core tenet in Neomarxist postmodernism that ‘everything is political’. And when these activists say EVERYTHING, they mean EVERYTHING – and that includes language itself. For these zealots have assigned all manner of twisted meanings to words that you are most likely unaware of. The … Continue reading What’s in a Word?
