In 2016, an enquiry to my MP of the time to reopen my improper medical diagnosis from 2003 could find no files at the hospital relating to any stay then, or outpatient visits in the succeeding years. In 2017 the police started investigating the GP who – along with the consultant psychiatrist and the GP’s own good friend, being my father – were collectively responsible … Continue reading a common bind, after all
Time for everyone who acts in #goodfaith to #makeup. Not a fallacy, not a half-truth, not a lie. No. Just humane beings, acting humanly. The enemy is uncontrolled private criminality. The enemy is everyone who is bringing down the barricades of a #gooddemocracy. The enemy is the loose mafias which undermine society’s discourse from well within. People you work and live with. People, mebbe, you … Continue reading “making up” – a short #essay on #savingthespecies, using #intuition
I was for a very brief time a co-opted parish councillor. This means no one real ever voted for me in an open election. Neither was I particularly effective at the role. I tried, but as a random man recently accused me of, whilst I was waiting minding my own business in a private space of public use, I CAN be trying. When I became … Continue reading “policing: force or service? actually, wrong question!” – a short #ar #video #essay
#surveillance + #sousveillance = #gooddemocracy Tbh, the most important thing is that we devise a brand new, 21st century security compact which combines all the undoubted DEMOCRATIC GOOD of authority AND citizen, in one beautifully EFFICIENT as well as INCLUSIVE package. For Tuesday evening, a TALE of much DOGGED. 🙂 ‘Cos wordplay never hurt anyone, now did it? “And I suppose …” – a #modern … Continue reading “and i suppose …” – a #modern #fairytale
It’s a simple question. And I am sure for most people NOT of a dictatorial tradition, the answer is self-evident. So why do we broadcast and monologue SURVEILLANCE – ie community safety and security – so wilfully? In the aforementioned dictatorial tradition, surveillance is not about COMMUNITY safety and security: rather, it’s about the security and safety of the DICTATORS. This approach leaks – unconsciously … Continue reading a monologue or a dialogue – what gathers more insight? #surveillance #sousveillance #gooddemocracy
If one thing ties together all that is wrong in 21st century life – and here I mean #business, #politics, a wider #society, alongside a competent #democracy of #human #goodwill and #community – it is the #bullies of this world and their casual, daily acts of #violence and #abuse.

… the organised criminality of legitimate security companies (some #observations from a recent #autoethnographic experience in one gig-economy workplace) I have already discussed some of the recent events in my life. I was publicly humiliated in a place I was visiting for the first time, off my patch by a considerable distance at the instances of a company and account manager who acts as subcontractor … Continue reading “the biggest challenge facing British policing and democracy …”
… a journey in six parts Part the 1st: on being an arts-based tech researcher In always productive conversation the other day with the always generous (in all senses) Thomas Gorry of #liverpool #ai fame, #quanovo, he raised the issue of what I am: more precisely, how I saw myself.

Whilst at uni in 2017, at Liverpool John Moores University studying International Criminal Justice, I came across a writer and thinker called Colin Crouch. From one of his shorter papers (my bad always, and ¡dejadez!), I extracted a fabulous idea: it’s possible for the powerful to impact society as if the strongest of conspiracies was well underway, without a word ever needing to be said, … Continue reading the automagical dismantling of Good Democracy

In a recent letter to shareholders Jeff Bezos, he of Amazon, argues that efficiency is important but aimless wandering equally so: Sometimes (often actually) in business, you do know where you’re going, and when you do, you can be efficient. Put in place a plan and execute. In contrast, wandering in business is not efficient … but it’s also not random. It’s guided– by hunch, … Continue reading jeff bezos’ thirst for efficiency, and what it might REALLY deliver

It not only happened; it’s continuing to happen to me.

I believe in doing good. I believe in doing things MOSTLY in those areas which most impact our democracy. In our modern world, right now, business affects democracy much more than politics ever did. In liberal discourse, whether neo- or otherwise, a Good Democracy – as per Peter Levine’s eternal tension between INCLUSIVENESS and EFFICIENCY – requires that the public sphere be fair and transparent, … Continue reading “reading between lines and principles”
