truly ramshackle mish mash website. Started earlier this year ONLY to attempt to clarify why "revolutionary"* test case on FREEDOM TO TELL OUR STORIES in mid 00s was important and how it is a great example of how any ruffian can fight their 'CAUSE" all the way to the top even when ones own 'side' all thought one was certifiably mad and utopian.
And (not in the original story) singlehandedly (it was Camilla Cavendish, - who had to be pushed off the reporting, by me, as my emails evidence) defended the primary uk legislation established in 2006 against 'Hoodwinking" Jack Straw hoodwinking in 2008-9. I win my causes.
I actually have several Homeric poetical sites online about things i care about. And little time to tart this one up at the moment. But will soon.
However there is something truly interesting to the modern journalist or writer, which is that since yet another mad sop on Radio 4 Today 29 Oct 2021
radio 4 29 oct 2021 today prog
the nice lapdog journalism starts 15 minutes in to that recording...no time to edit yet
and such dreadful self glorification in so called reportage i have at times wandered these lands around this septic Shopping Aisle and had a range of really very interesting conversations on freedom of speech with a range of supposedly fairly well informed folk - may of at least heard of Pilger and his great books of the 80s 90s, may have glanced through the odd issue of Private Eye... just maybe know what the ECHR is and that it has absolutely nothing to do with BREXIT... and owns ALL our asses as Turkey is finding out - a bit, and the complete and utter inability to understand simplest foundational principles of t all is genuonely interesting....
But documentaries or even the rare great articles in newspapers just dont change what is in folks' hearts.... as a kind of ruffian scholar of moving art - real art... not false self pitying saccharine garbage, and good egalitarian and universal human rights reportage ... all my life, I know that is true - thats why so many uk 20 something have mental health issues (even in my rural once paradise!!) , and we went back to such bourgeois values, even if dressed up in the façade of the modern-day boho hipster aesthetic, that Flaubert would have at least a very very bad chest bug in shock, if he came back to research an updated version of his rather good universal 'critique' of then...
And literally... to fashion or improve some video natter i most happily have such manky signal - less than good old fashioned dialup speeds unless i awake at 3am for better signal time, that i have to take myself to a hidden away layby of a very very forgotten little byway a few miles away to even get 2 mbs up....
All of which the CAUSE..(in my case simply a good film of how to, then) .....far more fun....far more real...and nothing ever ever to complain about. Except i dont have time to do it properly. Yet.... or unless someone HELPS me...
the 2004-6 matters FOS were done by gutsy eye to eye and behind-the-scenes PR campaign that frankly even Facebook couldnt manage to dream up how rural-homespun-canny it was...and it worked. You don't just get the whole top level of judiciary on your side unless.... they know a lot about you, and you make sure they know what matters.... and can coerce even The Guardian into doing your own bidding for your own manipulative dark arts.... to get the ferkin torch turned on.... and now all modern so called journalists seem to want it kept only in their pocket...
That's not journalism that is being part of the problem. Never mind very poorly educated. And i have a superb chronicle of their so called work...paid for by your license fees.... no one can ever get me for libel. I have nothing, want nothing so am ungettable.... but i do like truth...and evidence.
