A Quiet Riot With Words & Art

  • Far right or just right?

    Far right or just right?

    The only problem with being accused of being called far right is the stupidity and complete denial of reality of the accusers. I remember my mum saying to us as children when we asked ”you’re church of England”. I have no idea to this day what that meant but it…

  • Being a mum

    Being a mum

    is when your daughter runs in and out between jobs to drop the dogs off and you say have you eaten and she says no and you pull out the pot of Taramasalata you’d got for her and pack it up with the rest of your Bombay potato bread and…

  • God save the King…

    God save the King…

    ‘FAR RIGHT RIOTS’ I have got to laugh and secretly applaud. Not that I condone attacking the police or Mosques. I do not. BUT I get what the rioters are saying. That most of us have had enough. Of what? Of migrant men arriving daily from countries that are not…

  • Little girls’ deaths…

    Little girls’ deaths…

    So in this week’s news we have a young man stabbing to death three children, with several more in critical condition. Creating a hell on earth no children should ever have to endure especially in our little British Isles. Then we have a stalwart of the BBC, a newsreader, a…

  • Rape, rape and more rape

    Rape, rape and more rape

    ”We’re scared to go out at night alone and short skirts mean unwanted sexual attention: Parisian women reveal safety fears after gang-rape of Australian tourist and say sex attack is ‘catastrophic’ to France’s image days before Olympics” – Daily mail 23 July 2024. Nothing and I mean absolutely nothing changes…

  • The kids know

    The kids know

    The young lad that has vanished in Tenerife has kept a lot of us glued to social media group updates for the past two weeks. Wild conspiracy theories, massive assumptions and general armchair detective work had started to become a bit repetitive and pointless. Until today when we find that…

  • Shoot the fuckers

    Shoot the fuckers

    I didn’t want to write about this but hours later it still keeps bubbling to the surface and filling me with anxiety and nausea and very close to tears. This morning at the cemetery we had a very close encounter with an XL Bully. Something I never want to have…

  • Thoughts for today…

    Thoughts for today…

    I was in Keighley Dunelm this morning and I heard the guy on the checkouts say, ‘yay all the gang are here’. The checkout staff are always lovely in there and yes sometimes they have the full black clothes and hijab on. Today all three girls did and the guy…

    Polish Thrillers

    I will admit first off that this is a little clickbaity for purely personal reasons but also just to stop anyone else wasting several hours of their life watching shite. Detective Forst on Netflix started with the usual inane fodder but looked promising. The ‘maverick’ detective sent to some small…

  • The Ashley Madison world…

    of duplicity. A dream come true. I remember being highly amused in in 2015 when the news broke of the Ashley Madison hack. A massive data dump of profile information and details from an online dating site. But not just any little Plenty Of Fish dating site full of Nigerian…

  • I miss the musky paper smell and feel of a real old book and the pristine pages of a new one but my eyes are grateful for the invention of the kindle.
