Mr Hummels strikes again…
You are supposed to imagine yourself at the centre of the panopticon, watching over the others. I'm not sure the other perspectives were never really considered when old Bentham came up with the Panoption, barring the notion that the others knew you could be watching at any time. Beyond that... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯I'd have liked to work … Continue reading Mr Hummels strikes again…

Friends, bots, countrymen, lend me your ip address.

World Cup 2018 – Third Place Play-off
A great weight was lifted on Wednesday evening. The personal consequences of the game were large - I no longer have to fear being in England while they win the Coca Cola. The national implications could be greater - will the mediocre placing of 4th temper the rise of nationalism? Could losing to a minnow … Continue reading World Cup 2018 – Third Place Play-off

Leader vs Liar : Rumble in the Jungle – 8 days to go
8 days is not a long time. Try living in the UK. (This was an axed Smiths line.)

Two weeks until voting begins. Another day, another piece of self-imposed disappointment. Life slowly ebbs away doesn't it. My coverage of this election hasn't been as exhaustive than I had originally intended but then, I ain't a professional journalist. I have a terrible job to go to. Then again, there also hasn't been a lot … Continue reading Shipbuilding – 2 weeks left.
