no smoke without fire…

So let’s take 133 smelly old men. Perverts, deviants, celibates and kiddy-fiddlers, lock ’em in a big room and hide the key until you see smoke. Does that really sound like a good idea? Is that any way to choose the leader of the world’s 1.4 billion Catholics? But its what they do. Its as – Read More-

Cowboys…

When did the Indians become Cowboys? I was very young when I heard about ‘an Indian restaurant’ opening up in nearby Gants Hill. The world was different then. Hamburgers were ‘exotic’ in 1969; pizza’s only made by Italians and Chinese food for the first time was the culinary version of a trip to Disneyland. And – Read More-

Suits you…

I read a ‘terrible thing’ in the paper the other day, relatively ‘terrible’ anyway. That for David Beckham’s 50th birthday party at some swanky, fine-dining eatery attended by as many A-listers as you could force a rocket leaf upon, and filled with a myriad of tattoos, there was one noted absentee. No, not me, I – Read More-

Football days…

We’re entering the most exiting time of the most exiting football season ever! Its brilliant. I sit riveted as Liverpool can’t be bothered to play at Chelsea in any meaningful way because they’re already on the open-topped bus, drinking champagne as they cruise past those Liver birds, being adored by the swarming masses who are – Read More-

Phone time…

The Reform party are going to be the next government. Well, a bit of local government anyway. And their first move in power will be to get rid of ALL the DEI people. Those really important folk who enforce the laws of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. I’m speaking as a black, Zoroastrian, double-trans (I changed – Read More-

Thursday night…

Oh what a glorious day was Thursday the 1st of whatver, nineteen seventy… sorry!, twenty-twenty… 2 days ago. Possibly 2 nights ago, because that’s when it alllllllll happened. Tottenham Hotspur, the greatest team the world has ever seen, according to the song, at least, went to Runcorn and won the bye-election for the Reform party – Read More-

Needs and wants…

The weather’s fabulous. The sun’s shining, it’s warm, the birds are a’singin’, Spring has definitely sprung round my way. So the electric bike gets a bit more air than it does in February. In that I’m prepared to use it. More than ‘prepared’. Eager. And I use it to save the planet. Tony Blair can – Read More-

MTWSA…

MTWSA is the new MAGA. Make The World Shit Again. As we reach the magical?, mystical??, benchmark (of what?)??, 100th day of the second Trump presidency, it is an ideal time to look back on precisely how, and what, the great man (his words) have achieved. Why ‘100 days’ is some watershed moment in politics – Read More-

From Delaware to Del-Boy…

Trump has done many ‘things’ in his hundred-odd days. More if you count the last term he served. But in one respect, he has changed the world. Reconstructed its narrative. Is it in a good way? Well, it’s Trump, so what do you reckon??? The diplomatic international stage was always full of agreements, alignments, accords, – Read More-

Somber…

Ok, so the Pope was a shirt-lifter. Aright, a cassock-lifter. He was gay. So the recent rumours being rather maliciously spread, would assert. And much as both myself and definitely the quality controllers of this site try to avoid gossip, scandal, reactionism and anything else you’d normally find in the Daily Mail, there are some – Read More-
