Crocodiles, they’ve been around for millions of years without the need for evolution, perfect killing machines, kinda like the Tories. And the similarities don’t end there. Crocs have mouthfuls of sharp teeth and a vicious bite. Theresa May could take the leg off you with a single chomp. Crocodiles engage in cannibalism and the Conservatives […]

Ebola […]
Lions! Where would we be without them? No Simba, no Scar and, Holy God no! No Hakuna Matata! Our worlds would fall apart. Wouldn’t they…? Everyone seems to love lions, unless that is you’re a warthog. Warthog’s absolutely f**king hate lions because lions like to dine on (not with) warthogs. Disney doesn’t like to show […]
When the big guys fall out, everyone runs for cover. Hippos are renowned for their foul tempers. They are also big, bloated bullies with very large mouths, kinda like the natural world’s answer to Donald Trump. Lions are… lions. They eat things… living things. So do we, of course, but with a lot less finesse […]

Or perhaps you believed that it began with Perseus or Jason and his Argonauts fighting skeletons and Harpies? You were […]
Although more commonly known as the Berbers, the Amazighs of North Africa are regarded as the only ‘White’ Tribe of Africa. They have an ancient culture that has been somewhat overlooked by most.

Child abduction. Child slave labour. Child exploitation. As you read this it is still going on across the world today. Progress? What’s that? We eat our buns, our burgers, our consciences as children suffer at the hands of merciless, inhuman animals. Apathy is killing them, and us. They work in mines for food. They work […]
