When Gustav Mahler was writing his song cycle “Kindertoten Lieder” at the dawn of the twentieth century, the threat of deadly childhood diseases like Scarlet fever and Diphtheria was still very real. The poems he set to music had been written some 70 years earlier by Friedrich Ruckert, who was consumed with grief for many… Continue reading On the deaths of children

Risk vs Benefit – our risk and their benefit.
A look at the double standard on risk-benefit presentation over vaccines and immunity from infection..
Sinking the Narrative
As civilised society collapses around us in a dizzying slide down into some kind of primaeval swamp, taking with it all the markers that once kept it on track, there remain a few fundamental hooks or toe-holds that may save us. It seems impossible that 2022 could degenerate so rapidly into chaos, worse than that… Continue reading Sinking the Narrative
Suffer little children
How perversely appropriate at this time of the great festival of Christmas – the birth of humanity and the rebirth of the world following the winter solstice – that instead of that vision of innocence and purity of the newborn, we have a ritual of child sacrifice! Do they have the wrong idea – as… Continue reading Suffer little children

In the latest little sweetener awarded to the compliant, “double-jabbed” Australians will be allowed to return from abroad and spend only 7 days in quarantine at home, rather than two weeks in a hotel.

Mother’s Lament
It’s now 22 years since my mum died, apparently of her own volition and content that this was the time to go. Two years earlier we had shared a good week together, and sorted out some family affairs; most notably we had decided that I should inherit a painting by LS Lowry, and have it… Continue reading Mother’s Lament
Then they came for the Children…
My bleak vision of the past and future following a year of war on truth – over Syria, Iran and Russia – was in contrast to the optimism of the children gathered here to fight the climate wars which already engulfed us. It came against a background of masked warriors in Hong Kong, and masked… Continue reading Then they came for the Children…
From the AZ frying pan into the Pfizer fire.
The increasing hesitancy of older people to get vaccinated against the SARS-2 virus with the Oxford Astra Zeneca vaccine must be seen as an entirely rational response to the reported dangers from TTS blood clots – which no-one can deny are a reaction to this vaccine. Public confidence in it, already failing following the death… Continue reading From the AZ frying pan into the Pfizer fire.
