It’s new law-making time here in the UK…again—especially since a General election is at most, a few months away. Suspect the same applies in many parts of the globe this year. Cynical? Don’t think so. C’mon…it’s election time; ‘they’ will tell us ANYTHING if they think it might get some votes from the delusionally gullible.Continue reading “We need new laws for…. . No we don’t!”

In business…don’t race your competition to the point of going broke.
Since I envisage that, at a point soon, via this website, offering some business services (primarily based on my being ‘good with words’—if I do say so myself—my grounding in Social Science, and of course, my Catch a Grip perspective) I’ll begin also posting, what seems to me, sensible business advice that I’ve picked upContinue reading “In business…don’t race your competition to the point of going broke.”
The dangerously mentally ill should not be at large—period. Catch a Grip.
Unfortunately afflicted people who are dangerously mentally ill and who may be roaming our streets, are perceived by we members of the public, as the bogeymen…the demons ‘out to get us’ if they are not securely supervised by those tasked with that job. A currently prominent case-in-point. Right now, here in the UK, a bigContinue reading “The dangerously mentally ill should not be at large—period. Catch a Grip.”
On the current war in Gaza.
Firstly, though I support the right of any country to defend itself—seems to me, anybody will—I do think that the way Israel is ’up front’ going about this—especially given the history of the Jewish people—represents a massive ‘own goal’ for them in terms of their country’s international standing. Then there is the long-term proposed solution to theContinue reading “On the current war in Gaza.”
The trans debate… let’s Catch a Grip.
First of all, I think that for anyone experiencing emotional dysphoria regarding their birth-assigned sex and therefore what might be called society’s ‘traditional’ sex/gender expectations, and feeling that they would be happier living as the opposite sex, this is an avenue that they can explore in order to ‘take things forward’ or not—and good luckContinue reading “The trans debate… let’s Catch a Grip.”
Acquiring the motivation to leave addiction behind—now that’s the paramount game-changer.
THE game-changer for drug addiction is to stop being an addict; stop ‘doing ‘ addiction. (Toward REALLY curbing drug deaths…; The myth of sugar addiction.. . ) Time was when those prescribed substitute meds for opioid addiction only had the option of attending ‘the chemist’ daily and taking part in the ritual of supervised consumption—methadone,Continue reading “Acquiring the motivation to leave addiction behind—now that’s the paramount game-changer.”
Realistically addressing climate change.
Catch a Grip and actually think about the sensationalised outpourings predicting climate change Armageddon. Is it really so? Is the world really—literally—burning? Or just metaphorically? Is the science (about impending man-made climate catastrophe) really settled? My response to this last question is to point out that the scientific endeavour is inherently adversarial and therefore neverContinue reading “Realistically addressing climate change.”
