From that day to this it has continued to give my soul peace. I remember feeling a sense of profound lightness of spirit to know I […]

The Somme: A Deeper Question

Alison Banville — Thu, 03 Nov 2022 08:48:00 +0000

I've just been reading, during the commemorations for the Battle of the Somme, Wilfred Owen's poem ‘Anthem For Doomed Youth’ about 'these who die as cattle'. A comment by a member of the fantastic group, Veterans For Peace UK, on Facebook about the ceremonies says, 'All the talk of fallen and sacrifice gets me. Those men did not fall they were ripped apart.' which is exactly right. Senseless mass slaughter……and I couldn't get Owen's poem out of my head.

In the June 2011 issue of Reason Magazine (Free Minds and Free Markets!) Thaddeus Russell had a lot to say about Jason Hribal’s Fear of the Animal Planet.

Book Review: I Am Keith Mann. I Cured Cancer at Home

Alison Banville — Sun, 25 Nov 2018 02:11:44 +0000

Truth. Now there’s a word. It sounds simple doesn’t it? Superficially. Something most people would declare they align themselves with. It’s one of those obvious signifiers of decency. Truth is like Justice. Who would not say they are in favour? But just like Justice, Truth is a far more profound concept than most would dare to admit. The word […]
