The Moral outrage of the morally corrupt

So, the BBC news presenter at the centre of the recent mass guess who game that has played out on twitter, has been named as Huw Edwards, perhaps one of the most recognisable faces of broadcast news in the last 20 years, a 61 year old father of 5 who will forever be a part of British history as the news presenter who broke the news of the death of Queen Elizabeth II to the nation. Now I'm not here to defend Huw Edwards, I think the things he did were creepy, it's not the first time or the last a middle age man is going to do creepy shit, but I think rather than use the Huw Edwards story to score points morally and politically, we must now look at what causes a man who is so recognisable and so famous, to seek sexual gratification with people young enough to be his child, or even grand child, and what made him think he could get away with it? Police investigating the incidents have concluded that no law was broken, by Mr Edwards, but that doesn't mean that w...

Interview with a racist

This interview took place over a Skype call, because neither one of us really wanted the other in their home, I was expecting Gary ( we'll call him Gary to protect his true identity) to be cagey, and argumentative, but as you will see, he was surprisingly frank and forth coming with his answers. "You t...

Hi Feminism, it's masculinity, how can I be of assistance.

In early 2025, during a period of uncertainty for women in the wake of the presidential elections in America, there are two types of men in the world. Part of the problem or part of the solution, there is no room for passengers, no room for fence sitters, but be warned: you will want to be on the right side of history here; there's no room for ifs, buts, or maybes; only absolute equality will do in this post-truth era. Not only did we see an increase in domestic violence during the COVID lockdowns, but since then we have also seen Roe v. Wade overturned, the murder of Sarah Everard by a serving police officer, and most recently we saw the trial and conviction of Dominique Pelicot, who drugged and raped his own wife, and contacted other men to take part in his sick game. We find ourselves hearing people like Nick Fuentes, emboldened to say, “Your body, my choice,” America, the most powerful country on the planet, votes in a rapist before seeing a woman in the White House. ...
