A Green Party candidate campaigned in Urdu for a British by-election. Konstantin Kisin asks what that actually says about integration, identity, and who politics is really for. Summary: The Linguistic Shift in British Politics In this video, Konstantin Kisin discusses the significance of a Green Party candidate campaigning entirely in Urdu for a British by-election.…

They Asked for Help. They Were Told to Wait.
Twenty children. Twenty families. Twenty times the system had a chance to step in and didn’t. The Times investigation into the deaths of children with special educational needs and disabilities isn’t a sad one-off. It is a spotlight on something many of us have felt in our bones for years: mental health “support” in this…

That One Man Who Nearly Went Home
A man stood 100 yards up the road. He nearly didn’t come in. This is why the sweeper role at Andy’s Man Club matters more than the handbook can explain. The Man Who Nearly Went Home Last night I had one of those moments that sticks with you. Along with another facilitator, I was on…

I’d Pay Facebook to Show Me Less, Not More
Three Quid for Fewer Adverts. That’s Not the Problem. Facebook isn’t annoying because of the adverts. It’s annoying because it won’t leave you alone. I tried the £3 a month ad-free option. Not because I’m glued to it. I’m not. I dip in, check a couple of local groups, maybe post something for Andy’s Man…

Thanks Mate, Pass the Ball – Andy’s Man Club

YouTube’s Triple Paywall Problem Explained
What we’re seeing isn’t a gentle drift towards monetisation, it’s stacked monetisation, and it’s reached the point where it feels naked. Once upon a time the deal was simple. You gave your time. They made something worth watching. YouTube ran ads around it. Everyone understood the trade. Then creators quite reasonably said adverts alone aren’t…

The British State Has Become the Enemy of the People
I’ve just finished watching Rupert Lowe’s latest sit-down, and frankly, it’s a bloody disgrace that we’ve let things get this far. Lowe is one of the few people in that God-forsaken building in Westminster actually telling the truth: the British state has become a parasitic tumour on the back of the hard-working public. This video…

When Helping Other Men Started To Hurt
For the past three years, I’ve walked into a room on a Monday night, pulled on a black and white AMC t-shirt, and, along with other facilitators (we have several now) tried to hold space for other men. I care about them. I care about the group. For a couple of hours a week, I…
