Mainstream comedy is a sham. You need only flick on Mock the Week in the UK to see the soggy array of so called 'talent' that adorns our screens each week to find proof. Safe, boring, reverent comedy, that glamorises the most mundane irrelevancies of our lives and is venerated...

NOTE: This blog was written during Arsenal vs. Swansea
I remember vividly those lamentable hours I spent in my maths class. A perverse situation emerged in which my school judo teacher was also my maths teacher. As you might expect, algebra and martial arts weren't a match made in heaven....

No show angers me more than BBC Question Time. Consecutive laptops have been placed in mortal danger as I watch the same poisoned formula concocted each week by the alchemists Dimbleby & co. Consequently my dad has effectively banned me from regarding it with him, due to my Peep Show...

I grew up with James Bond and I still have fond memories of shooting my way through Soviet Russia on the N64's infamous Goldeneye. I felt little remorse for my digital victims; such were their pixelated faces that strongly resembled puff pastry.
But then you get older and...

It's hard being in my situation. I've isolated myself psychologically into a cocoon of nihilistic cynicism, that rejects most media as suspect. Instead of being mind raped by propagandist nonsense, I've voluntarily gone celibate and escaped its insidious drip-feeding of poisonous misinformation. My neurosis dictates that the mainstream media (man)...

Here's the perfect metaphor for the Conservative party's idea of tax justice:
An assembled army of moral indignados chase after an ant leaving a nest with a piece of unregistered leaf. Meanwhile, behind them, an ant eater arrives, hoovers up the entire ants nest with it's snout and then...

What I'm about to talk about will be regarded as blasphemy within the football lad community. However I'm quite happy to be the anti-lad, because it's a necessary antidote to a prevailing dumb male culture that many men foolishly believe is wholly natural, instead of being manufactured in the same...

"There comes a time in life when you have a choose between two sets of principles; power and privilege, or justice and truth" - Chris Hedges
Increasingly at my own university (Warwick) my fellow students are making their career choices all too clear, and truth and justice aint on the...

David Cameron and George Osborne. There really is something truly unsettling about the hair of these men. Bad hair, evidence indicates, is inextricably linked with bad economic policy... we're now officially in a double dip recession/depression: fine work gentleman! *Two thumbs up*
Sitting in my pants eating Shreddies, I experienced...

So the good old English gentry had their precious "Boat Race" disrupted and everyone's angry. A man was arrested we're told. "Why was he in the river blocking the boats...?". It doesn't matter apparently, judging by the near universal media silence. What's more important across the spectrum is to widely...

WARNING: The following piece is filled with ten times your daily-recommended levels of sarcasm and irony.
Out of government in 2010 David Cameron said to ITN in regard to Jeff Hoon and Stephen Byers claims they could influence government policy for business that quote:
"Lets be clear about what's at...

It seems to me, that people who anally obsess over grammar, coincidentally are never the most seductive of writers. They view writing as a static world of rules and forms that must be abided by at all costs. An English literature student for example once said to me that writing...

Sometimes you have to stand in awe at the tidal wave of bulls**t that continues to surge upstream. "Iran is a threat", "the danger of a nuclear armed Iran", "What action will be taken against Iran with its nuclear ambitions?"
Round and round we go, scrutiny as always is...

"Stop putting a dollar (pound) sign in front of everything"...said Bill Hicks during one of his stand up gigs. David Cameron by contrast decided that he would deploy the ying to the Bill Hicks' yang, when he stated that the BFI should fund more "commercially successful pictures".
Sometimes poshos...

"What's this weeks petty irrelevant moral panic we'll all sit around discussing in pubs and on the BBC's Daily Politics show?", I often wake up asking myself.
Oh yes, right on cue, Dianne Abbott is now a reverse racist, because of one of those cheap easy stories the press...

It's often claimed in academic circles that the moment your argument becomes personal is the moment you concede defeat. I've never abided by this philosophy. For me, a person with a defective personality is equally attracted to defective ideas. Anyway, on this occasion I was personally attacked and so it...

If my long lusted for - progressive Anarcho Syndicalist free love environmental saviors revolution - fails to manifest and save us from the inevitable capitalist abyss we're currently heading towards, then surely the rallying cry that shall best epitomize our civilizations decadent selfish decline in to oblivion shall be 'SHOTGUN!"
