The British legal system is portrayed by many as a bastion of truth and justice. Unfortunately, that perception doesn’t reflect the reality others experience. Perhaps the most obvious recent example of injustice in the UK is Hillsborough: it took twenty seven years for the families of those who had been unlawfully killed to finally be […]

2017 was a stupendous year for outing abusers hiding in plain sight. That’s the convenient trope to convince the masses that change is on the way, that corruption hiding in plain sight, à la Savile, will be uncovered, exposed, and dealt with. But of course that’s tosh because exposure is relative. When collateral damage is […]

Angel Dusting is defined as a misleading marketing practice where a minuscule amount of an active ingredient is included in a product, an amount insufficient to give an measurable benefit. Not to be confused with the drug Angel Dust, which has a long history of making people forget themselves in a compliant, controllable reverie… But […]

A broad theme of World Press Freedom Day 2017 is the interrelation between freedom, justice and the rule of law. ANM continues in our commitment to exposing what we’ve come to call “over-thereism” on press freedom, i.e. threats to free-speech happen in other countries not in good old Blighty. That’s the kool-aid, but a sizeable and […]

International Women’s Day 2017 – #beboldforchange This has been a hell of a year for women. We can now be legally beaten in Russia, sued by rapists in Arkansas. In Ohio, meanwhile, a woman will have to get permission of a man to abort a foetus.

Brexit is coming, and it means Brexit and a cosy-up to Donald J Trump, but now there’s a tiny window where MPS could vote against triggering Article 50. So should they? Are you worth it? Ditching the EU was never going to be an easy matter since the British economy has become ever more tangled within it for over […]

Mr Carmarthenshire County Council, still singing “Indemnify Me” on April Fools.
1 Apr , 2017
Carmarthenshire County Council was originally formed on April Fools Day 1889 by the Local Government Act 1888. It was abolished on 31 March 1974, and begun anew, which shows beyond doubt that it is entirely possible for the Council to wipe the slate clean and begin again. There’s no sign of that though in the disgraceful matter […]
