I read an article that advanced many of the same tropes I have seen advanced by people insistent we are in culture war, that they must win or the left shall wipe all liberty from the earth…Here follows my rebuttal…
Summer is in full swing, the climate is collapsing quite gloriously, I have returned as harbinger of social media doom. Yes that’s right, I’m back, and this time with TWO, count em, two goddamn degrees. Today, let’s talk about the reaction I expected from the pissbabies of the internet. Marvel announced its Phase 4 slate,…
Hello all, It is with a heavy heart that I am announcing the winding up of The Liberal Cynics for the time being. We were ambitious and I think in the time we were operating, we produced some really insightful content. What the future holds, I am unsure, but from us here at TLC, it’s…
(Editor: I decided a bit of satire was in order. With Britain leaving the EU, and Game of Thrones leaving our screens for a year, the time was ripe.) Britain has voted to leave the EU, Brexit has come, and in the wake of this many have been speculating what future we might expect. Amid…
(Editor: An impassioned polemic by our writer Jake Daniels, delivering the rage many have felt in the past few days.) To the political class, You did this. All of you.

This is an official hiatus, unlike our many unofficial lapses. Have an amazing holiday from all of us here at The Incidental…
So I as the grand vampire of news have not posted for a long time, enslumbered (it’s not a real word, but damn that) as I have been editing, but now I’ve wrested the reins from my colleagues to soar into a good old fashioned rage! With the landmark ruling to legalise same-sex marriage across…
Two days ago at 11:00pm a deadline for Greece to repay €1.8bn to the IMF came, and it swiftly passed. Greece became the first developed country to ever default on the repayment of major debts. Probably not the sort of milestone that they aspired towards, but it is the one that they have achieved. This…
(Editor: A month and three days after our last sign of life, after exams, and a series of pitiless whippings, The Liberal Cynics return. I leave you now to the skill of Jake Scott.) On the 31st of October, 2014, Ed Miliband revived an old political question that had been bubbling beneath the surface of…
