Who’s to Blame for This?

Meet this lot. The ones responsible for this nonsense.

Who Let’s Them Write This?

Quentin Snide

Editor-in-chief. Covers politics, scandal, and the decline of civilisation with one raised eyebrow and a half-empty glass. Founded The Usual Rubbish out of spite and continues to run it on caffeine, contempt, and a complete lack of HR oversight.


Hope Withers

Covers religion in all its forms—miraculous, misguided, and monetised. Once Anglican, now agnostic with questions. Finds the divine in scandal and the sacred in footnotes.


Miles Dregg

Miles Dregg is The Usual Rubbish’s Media and Entertainment correspondent. He hasn’t enjoyed anything since Spaced, and once live-tweeted a nervous breakdown during the Eurovision semi-finals. He lives in Dalston with a collection of vintage iPods and unresolved resentment.


Tristram Bantersnatch

Covers sport in all its tragic, tribal, overhyped glory. Once tried CrossFit, now prefers crisps. Brings biting wit, weary scepticism, and a deep distrust of anyone who says “it’s coming home.”


Nova Zellick

Covers science, tech, and the glorious inevitability of AI overthrowing humanity. Brains like a quantum mainframe, she thinks religion is a software glitch we haven’t debugged yet. Smiles only when she’s right — which is often.
