Not unusually, I’m sat here scratching my head at the minute for two reasons. The first being that I was shocked to only learn of the ‘impending’ rapture after it was supposed to have already happened, and secondly, because this must be either the second or third ‘end of the world’ epoch that I’ve survived [...]

With the rest of the world in revolt over much more instrumental disadvantages, there has been little coverage of anything else in the media. One such organisation that is probably glad of this convenient diversion is Ofcom because, in their infinite wisdom as the regulating body for UK communication industries, they have decreed that soon, [...]

Partly because it’s a trend that’s not bucked for the best part of two decades, [...]

It’s not immediately obvious but as a nation and indeed a race, we’ve always had an infatuation with crime. Think about it, crime is one of best selling fiction genres, it’s a popular choice for television dramas and it generally receives critical acclaim when it graces the big screen.
