Welcome to The Grumpy Welshman

History, Crime, and the Rot in the Modern World

Let's be clear from the start. This is not my "nice" blog.

This is where I document the darkness. The calculated evil, the corporate greed, and the political cowardice that ruins lives. I'm a 70-year-old Welshman, and my patience for excuses, lies, and the enshittification of everything ran out a long time ago.

Here, you'll find deep dives into the stories that keep me up at night:

• Corporate Murder: From the coal board that buried a school in Aberfan to the companies that wrapped Grenfell Tower in a death trap.

• True Crime & Injustice: The doctors, killers, and conmen who exploited the vulnerable, and the systems that let them get away with it for far too long.

• Political Follies: The cynical decisions made in comfortable rooms that lead to graves in working-class towns.

• The Modern Disease: The influencers, grifters, and platforms that profit by turning society into a vapid, soulless marketplace.

This isn't the digital equivalent of an old man shouting at a TV. This is the sound of someone reading the autopsy report and naming the guilty.

If you're looking for light chatter, you're in the wrong place. If you're ready for unflinching stories about how and why things go terribly wrong, welcome.

You have been warned.
