Half-autobiographical trilogy
Doing my bit to stem the humbug
Years ago, my views would have been seen as very ordinary, par for the course – you know, things like having manners, not eating with your mouth open, not slouching about, working for a living.
Today, these are seen as reactionary, antiquated, even bizarre. I haven’t changed but the brave-new-world has and the new “progressives” are just waiting for us to die off. They haven’t gone forward in the least – they’ve just gone downhill.
From the PoMo advocates to the PCists, in the jobsworths, in the new yahooism, in everything from non-art to celebrity worship, from the decimation and dumbing-down of education through the indoctrination of the new generation[s], to the whole dire brave-new-world bleak, bland nothingness where style, ethics, etiquette and craftmanship are dead – this blog opposes them all.
Vociferously.
Politics
As a small c conservative, a classical liberal, once a Tory, my stance is now non-party political libertarian, neither believing in the Big Three in the UK nor in the Big Two in the U.S.A. At the last General Election, I voted Independent, on local issues. At the council elections, I voted Tory.
This is roughly where I am:
I’m implacably opposed to Them.
Faith
I’m a private Christian, close on many issues to Eastern Orthodox whose holiday dates I prefer to the western versions, detesting fundamentalist bigotry but bursting into print when rubbish is spoken or written about the Christian message.
