At a certain point I just fell off the back. I’d been keeping up with the three Cycling Club Hackney riders in the group that chose the longer route, albeit wheel sucking the whole way. But about 10k from the planned rest stop the other riders just kinda floored it.

Left Over: Any Cardboard to Spare?

Cars kill. Or is it like the gun debate – cars don’t kill people drivers kill people? Regardless of fault the results of car use as a primary means of transportation causes health problems and needless death. Cities around the world are taking steps to try and hold back cars

An excellent overview of the Scottish referendum on independence, which is happening today, was just pointed out to me by a friend – and, we should note that the referendum has great significance all around the world, and not only for the Scots. The article is well worth two minutes of

While the lead writer of the ARC Collective is planning on taking a hiatus for a month or so to recharge the batteries on a beach somewhere in Baja soon, it wouldn't seem right to leave when there are still a couple to loose ends to tie up.Then again, we

It really is funny how things can turn on a dime. As early as August 18, Brodie Walsh was a member in good standing of the Southern Ontario "Skinheads," posing with his fellow boneheads as they model their latest t-shirts: How come so many bonehead think that vacantly staring ata

While we will provide a much more detailed article regarding the Southern Ontario “Skinhead” backlash to our previous post on Brodie Walsh’s…. uhm…. indiscretion, we thought that for now this clip from the classic movie, “Airplane!” should suffice as a teaser since it best captures the subtle nuances of their
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Southern Ontario Skins: A Cast of Stooges Part VIII (Nail in the Coffin)
Members of the Southern Ontario "Skinheads" keep giving us gold. It's as if they can't help making fools of themselves. The latest entry in our "Stooges" series is once again Brodie Walsh: See the really poorly executed "WaL$H" tattoo on Brodie's forearm? Remember it because you'l be seeing it again
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: An SOS Bombshell?
Okay, that might be selling it a little too much. They are, after all, boneheads. Be that as it may, we recently received some interesting photos taken in a public place of one Southern Ontario “Skinhead” member in what would constitute an awkward situation. Well, awkward if you’re a bonehead.

It would appear that McKee's Blood & Honour and Hynes' Southern Ontario "Skinheads" have decided to continue their little spat on our blog. Truth be told, we are more than pleased to facilitate their intellectual jousting, though referring to the bluff and bluster as "intellectual" might be to stretch the

You know, there are times when we have to wonder what good karma we have amassed for fortune to fall into our laps. Ladies and gentlemen, might we introduce you to the newest member of the Southern Ontario "Skinheads", Jeremy Crawford: We should at this point provide a little background.

It's been a month and a bit since our last post in the "Stooges" series, but that isn't for lack of content. For example, Brodie Walsh has proven to be a goldmine of material. Here is a veritable Whitman's Sampler of Walsh d-baggery: Read more »

There is a suspicion that this guy might just be someone we recently wrote about here. We aren’t entirely certain, but if any of our readers want to let us know who they think he is, we would very much appreciate the confirmation of our suspicions: London police seek man

In the mosh pit of global corporate excess that claims so much of London (UK) circa 2014, Café Oto is an oasis of cultural intelligence and inspiration. I popped in last night to check out Daniel Higgs and Michael Zerang, and I wasn’t disappointed. Daniel Higgs (formerly of Lungfish) is

You needn’t go farther than the comment section of a UK rag to find the sort of people who are okay with torture devices beging designed into their buildings. Is that where we are now in Britain? "How can we rid ourselves of the problem of homelessness?" – "Little spikes

First, it looks like the Southern Ontario Skinheads have a new member: More on Brodie Walsh later. Trust us. He's a real catch for the SOS and sure to fit right in. Back on May 9, "The London Free Press" published an article on an event hosted by an associate

First, and in deference to our friends who actually ARE skinheads, it needs to be made clear that no one in the SOS is actually a skinhead. They've co-opted the look and, to a degree, very selected elements of the skinhead culture, but it's only window dressing. They are, and
