Then there were 8…

The new in-party of ex-Labour disgruntees has now grown to a massive 8 people. Yet if they get 4 more they’ll have the same number of MPs as the Liberal Democrat’s. Which is interesting but irrelevant in a way that the Lib Dem’s themselves are somewhat irrelevant. I’m just happy that Labour is in difficulty – Read More-

Resigned…

So 7 MPs resign from the Labour Party yesterday and more are expected soon. As well as many disgruntled Tories too, they fear/reckon/dread (depending on your standing on the political spectrum. If you’re a ‘Green’ then just say ‘ohmmmmm’ and hug a tree). The only resignation that didn’t come yesterday was that of Maurizio Sarri. – Read More-

more comin home…

Its happened. What, for all other people is ‘hot news!!’ about a splinter group of MPs leaving the Labour party today, but as I predicted and anticipated this yesterday, for you, this is old news. I am Nostradamus! Why have they left? I think one sub-headline on the BBC’s newspage sums it up beautifully, reading: – Read More-

Quick quick slow…

I love movies. I love all types of movies. Action thrillers, action thrillers and also action thrillers. Ok, that’s a joke. I’m not even keen on action killers and wouldn’t see a ‘Bond’ if ya paid me in gold-plated Aston Martins. But I will see a thriller and I’ll see art house and I’ll see – Read More-

Stuff of dreams…

Half the priests in the Vatican are gay. Big fucking surprise there. In the new ‘revelations’ from a book about the homosexual life within the most outwardly homophobic ‘state’ in the world. Other than maybe Saudi, Iran, Qatar. The other 50% of the Vaticanees fondle little girls. Ok, maybe I made that up, maybe I – Read More-

its comin home…

Shamima Begum wants to come ‘home’. To Britain. Where she was born. Where she was raised. Where she lived until she was 15. At which point, along with 2 mates, she took the very long and winding road to Syria, via Turkey, to join ISIS. And although as we all know, a 15 year old – Read More-

walkin on sunshine…

Its a truly beautiful morning here in London town. Springlike. Sunny. Mild. Gorgeous. The flowers are getting ready to bloom, the birds are singing their songs and Spurs beat Dortmund in the Champions League last night. How could any day get better than that? Lila turning up at half seven was a massive bonus, day-wise. – Read More-

banksy…

Decades before some pretentiously right-on, anonymous graffiti-fucker started daubing neo-political messages on the back gate of number 73 Halstead Grove, Esher and other such ‘galleries’, the world was blessed with another ‘Banksie’. This one also an artist. But of a different type. An artist of the goalkeeping type. And whilst asking the normally rhetorical question: – Read More-

statement of fact…

Its a 3-horse race. The fight for the Premier League. 3 teams left with a proverbial ‘shout’. And one of them, lets’ be fair/honest/realistic, is possibly suffering from equine flu, in the wold of stretched metaphors. But even limping along, those mighty Spurs keep hitting the net when it counts, keep seeing off opposing teams, – Read More-

Sophie’s choice…

If I had to choose between being a vegan or becoming totally ‘carb-free’, I think I’d just get on a plane to Switzerland and let Dignitas have its way. (Note to any potential suicides out there: I CERTAINLY WOULDN’T JUMP UNDER A SODDING TUBE TRAIN BECAUSE ITS THE MOST HORRIBLE, INCONSIDERATE, SELFISH AND EVIL THING – Read More-
