A Millionaire!!!! Wow! The measure used by those people who just love statistics and demographics for ‘wealth’ is to be a ‘dollar millionaire’. That’s how they assess ‘the rich’. Which is why London has more than anywhere else. Well, it did have until a few weeks ago when Moscow overtook us. Livin’ that communist dream. – Read More-
Because the weather is not only lovely but GUARANTEED not to rain, I’ve been taking the e-bike into work. Not because it’s quicker, which it is. Not because it’s cheaper because us old folk get tube travel freeeeeee. But because it is just wonderful. Fun. Enjoyment. Puts a great big smile on my face which – Read More-
We won. Spurs. A football match. Beat Southampton. Who were ‘fighting for their lives’. And alas, they died. Got relegated. At least they did it in the best stadium in the world. Surely that was some comfort to them? But Southampton aren’t my problem. Spurs are. With that magnificent win, our first home win since – Read More-
Two Labour MPs decided to take a trip to Israel. Why not? It’s fab there this time of year; not too hot yet, and gorgeous. Furthermore, unlike when I go, these freeloaders get the taxpayers to fund it. Whole trip, right down to the extra chillies on the felafel. They took a few ‘aides’ with – Read More-
So we’ve done taxes to death this week, with all this tariff talk, so we need to concentrate on death.

Marine le Penn is the leader of the French National Front. Whatever exalted title they give their neo-nazi party these days, it’s the ‘national front’. But written in French. Obviously.

When Justin Welby was… elevated?, promoted?, ascended?, raised on the high alter of Christianity to a table so high he sat with just God and the Pope for company!!!, I thought: what a nob. There’s something horribly smug about the man. Something smarmy. There’s someone who really thinks he’s cleverer than everyone else. And can – Read More-
I wanted to drive from age 2. They wouldn’t let me. Bastards. I had to wait til I was 14. Because my brother’s mate, also-Richard, was given a van for work when he was 17 and he took me to a little airdrome in Romford which had been converted into a faux road system for – Read More-
I appreciate that not all Republicans are aggressive, domineering, scornful, malicious, lying, denying, avoiding, side-changing, disloyal, anti-Europe, anti-UK scumbags. Only the ones we see on tv.
