- “The real will of the people” 18th February 2020“A citizens’ assembly on climate is pointless”, writes Stephen Buranyi in the Guardian, “if the government won’t listen”. Perhaps a better person than I am would not have split the quotation at precisely that point. But no one who uses the phrase the “real will of the people” has any call to complain about misrepresentation. […]Natalie Solent (Essex)
- Down the slippery slope 16th February 2020I was in Ankara on December 23 last year, in the commercial centre of town in the middle of the day. I walked past a street with a number of cafe/restaurants. I realised I was hungry. I sat down at an outdoor table, looking away from the street. I ordered a sandwich. My sandwich came.

- How the quality of mercy is strained 15th February 2020Prosecutorial discretion is a power jealously protected by prosecutors, who will tell stories about forgoing prosecution of 18-year-old guys for “rape” of their 17-year-old girlfriends, of not prosecuting people for technicalities when the equities demanded they violate those technicalities. It all sounds so decent and commonsensical. That’s how people like Epstein go forever in safety, […]Niall Kilmartin (Stirling)

- RAW LAND 11th November 2019by John GrauerholzI love the lonely landscapes, the empty places, the solitary spaces. I am beguiled by the barren scenery that is not quite desert, yet a geography that is still too unforgiving to be farmland. A soil that is not devoid of vegetation, but an earth where all the plants have already turned brown. […]Mr. Mean-Spirited
- I DON’T CARE ABOUT THE VICTIMS 3rd September 2019by John Grauerholz Serial murder is inevitable. Mass slaughter is a sure and certain part of mass culture.

I don’t care about people who got in the way. […]Mr. Mean-Spirited
