I’ve been working my way through some t-shirt ideas. This was inspired by hearing that a university marketing department had banned all of these phrases for being too clichéd.

I've been quiet for a while. It's been due to a number of factors, the most prominent of which is poor health.

I need surgery, and I'm stuck in limbo. Please help.

Why didn't you vote for Donald Trump?

The election poses hard questions about who can become a Nazi, and how.

Here's the answer. It's free to read.

Gee whiz do I have the 3 hour leftist deep dive video essay on football you never know you needed!
Finally!

My new video is up, and I take a look at English Football, The Premier League, Club Ownership and what a Left Alternative could be.

Its a long one, so a good choice for some background content I reckon :)

If you or someone you know want to know the experiences and demonstrated instincts that make Starmer possibly the worst person to become Prime Minister at this precise historical moment, then this is the video for you youtu.be/svNs2x9pgdA
Unmasking The Real Keir Starmer
They're calling this video "the most forensic moment of the election". A deep dive on Britain's most prominent wet wipe and probable future Prime Minister Keir Starmer. An awful spiteful man leading an awful spiteful movement who shouldn't be allowed near power.
