This pointless blog has been in existence since 2002. Some of the early material has been maturing for quite a while, yet it still remains very immature. Feel free to sample some of the aged wares.

Fact-o-tron

Random fact of the moment:
Ties were invented by Croatian mercenaries that worked for the French during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648). The original name for the tie, the cravat, may even be a corruption of the word Croat.

Bolog number 729 - Page 1 of 1

It's difficult to bear in mind that life and politics back in England is just as shallow, stupid and shitty as it is here, especially during the Republican National Convention week.
So, in the middle of all the blather and bluster it's refreshing to see people commemorating one of the most significant examples of people power in the 20th century: The Battle of Cable Street.
On October the 12th is an anti-fascist historical walk around the east-end of London; I wish I could just hop on a bus and attend.
On one of the sites linking to the walk, someone posted an excellent YouTube clip of a newsreel with footage of the actual battle. I've never seen film of it before and it blew me away. Have a look.
