The cosmetics market. I’m as amazed by its complexity as I am baffled whenever I have to return something to its correct place.

Just been listening to Sheila E. talking about the physical toll that Prince’s performing career took on his body. Apparently he had a hip problem for which he took painkillers. A sobering reminder that his art came at a cost – possibly even the ultimate one – but one that he was willing to accept in order to give the world the best Prince he…[Read more]

This came through my letterbox today. Thank goodness the government is here to tell me what to think! This seven-page booklet was sent to every address in the UK (at the tax payers’ expense).

I agree. Unseen and unrecognized evil is the worst and most persistent kind. Then there are the evils that people only partially see. For example, using the phrase, “becoming a police state” when assessing the condition of nearly anyplace in the world is a severe understatement. Specifically WRT government schools, a government school is not “like a prison.” It is a prison!
Yes. I recognize that the vocalizing the full and shocking truth of the matter may alienate a speaker from some audiences, but the truth it is, nonetheless.

Wow, this is terrifying. I remember seeing the world a bit differently after Army SERE training, now it seems society is becoming even more like a POW camp. Propoganga, brainwashing, no privacy, turning us against each other. The mantra at SERE school was “you are always being exploited” unfortunately that continued even after training ended.

Gary, this is a sobering article. Thanks for drawing attention to the realities that would have seemed absurd a decade ago.

America has lost one of its music legends. Maurice White, founder and erstwhile leader of the band Earth, Wind & Fire passed away on Wednesday night. This man and his band shaped the musical landscape from the 70s onwards like no other, in the states and the UK. Earth, Wind & Fire were The Beatles of black music.

Victory (of sorts) for Uber in London! The worst of the proposed regulations (such as an enforced 5 min pickup wait) are not being implemented and Uber will be able to provide its service unhampered. The downside is that the cost of becoming an Uber driver is going to be raised by some regulations and private hire vehicles may lose their…[Read more]

A new law on festive season smiling comes into effect today. The Minister for Happiness said the new law was necessary to safeguard the spirit of Christmas and to protect children from humbuggery. All British citizens are now required to smile whenever they are in a public place during the month of December. Those attending funerals or other…[Read more]

“About this time of year many parents probably tell their children that belief is a powerful thing. They don’t know how right they are. They don’t know how right they are. Belief in power is a disastrous thing. The history of civilisation screams this lesson out loud, if nothing else.”

Corbyn’s rise is sort of exciting, and he’s likeable, but yeah, someone ought to tell him that socialism is the opposite of a solution.

I’ve just published a new piece. It’s not aimed at my fellow enlightened liberty lovers here, clearly, but more the British public in general. As such I’d appreciate if you would share around as you see fit, particularly if you’re UK based. Cheers!

Been feeling unwell in a somewhat concerning fashion for about a week. Rather than wait a week (at least) for an appointment with a NHS GP and then go and sit in a waiting room with a bunch of sick people, I decided to use a new online service available here in the UK called Push Doctor (it’s like a skype session with a doctor, basically). It’s…[Read more]

“Prince’s genius” is an oxymoron.
