Le tweet d’Arron Banks, instigateur du Brexit, dans lequel il écrit en plaisantant que la militante qui lutte contre le changement climatique, Greta Thunberg, n’est pas à l’abri d’un accident de voile lors de sa traversée de l’Atlantique sur un yacht “émission zéro,” est un autre exemple de la façon dont des personnalités utilisent Twitter […]

On The Edge Of A “Sexual Ravine” – One Giant Leap Forwards For Womanhood
Most women find themselves constantly on the edge of a dangerous and ubiquitous “sexual ravine.” Those who fall into the trap of the ravine no longer see themselves as unique and valuable individuals. They possess a physical body that constantly requires an appearance corresponding to sexual criteria imposed by men. The ravine extracts from its […]
Why Can’t I Be A Famous Moronic YouTuber?
I used not to mind YouTubers. Now I do. I suppose that I’m just jealous of a YouTuber who has 6 times more followers than inhabitants in the Netherlands. The bottom line is that I’m probably jealous of every single YouTuber. How I would love to have 98,457,085 subscribers to my blog. I’ve given up […]
So What, Ambassador – Isabel Had Sex And Then Took A Leak
No one was much bothered by what had been leaked. Kim Darroch, the UK ambassador to the US, had only reported back what had long been obvious to the entire world: that Donald Trump was vain and inept and ran a wholly dysfunctional administration. It was the sort of email that anyone might send after watching […]
A Big Mac, French Fries And A Coke. Anything Else, Minister?
It is sad really, when ministers who run out of ideas are being persecuted for something else by the country they are trying to govern. It is as if we all have suddenly had an attack of divine morality concerning the fact that they are otherwise engaged. The latest victim of the democratic inquisition into […]

The Lost People Of Brexit
I came across a Facebook posting from a British citizen living in an EU-27 Member State. He, like most of us, is lost in the maze of truths, untruths, threats and reassurances that make up the Brexit jungle. It is a jungle that is rapidly turning into a morass and the continuing uncertainty is sinking […]
Film Review: “I Am Mother” – When A.I. Meets Immanuel Kant
Film Title: I Am Mother (2019) (Netflix) Director: Grant Sputore I’m not really a science-fiction fan and you can probably count the number of sci-fi films that I actually enjoyed and/or understood, with the fingers of one hand. My list is finite but does include Steven Spielberg’s Close Encounters which is certainly one of […]
CINEMA: “Désobéissance” – Un Film Froid Sur Un Amour Chaud
Désobéissance est un film fascinant et magnifique sur la transgression de deux femmes dans une société plus que conservatrice dirigée par les hommes et la religion. Rien de nouveau me direz-vous, mais c’est ce manque de nouveauté qui rend le film encore meilleur. C’est un mélodrame auquel tout le monde peut et doit s’identifier. Le […]

Teenager Growing Pains – What Were YOU Doing When You Were Fourteen?
If I think about it, I’m probably writing this post not out of pure desperation, but as a therapy. This is my way of trying to convince myself that things are not as bad as they seem. I mean, what could be wrong? My wife has gone away for two days to attend a Catholic […]
Film Review: “Son Of Saul” – A Vision Of Hell
Film Title: Son of Saul (2015) Director: László Nemes May 4th is a national remembrance day in the Netherlands. The entire country pays its respect to those who died in WWII and more recent conflicts, all in the name of freedom. Supermarkets close at 7.00 pm and, an hour later, a two-minute silence is observed. […]
