I love the ‘far right’. As long as, politically speaking, its on the periphery, it creates a wonderful environment for the violent, the stupid, the stupidly violent and the violently stupid. Its basically politics for those who like fighting. Always has been. From Hitler who indoctrinated a group of moronic thugs (and find me any – Read More-
In a brilliant move, based on solid maffematics, old Chancellor, George Osborne, raised the rate of ‘stamp duty’, the tax you have to pay when you buy a house. Its a basic kind of tax: you’re spending money, we want some. Goes back to Robin Hood days. Its maffia-esque. A deal is being done, by – Read More-
This has been a memorable year, thus far. I know, its a bit early for that ‘week after Christmas summary of the year past’ but that’s where I am. David Bowie died, then Brexit happened, well, Brexit started and we’re watching that space, next came Trump and then finally, the biggest tragedy of all, the – Read More-
…Britannia rules the waves… (all join in!). Nothing like a rousing song to start the day. I feel better now. Until I look and see that us wave-ruling, sea-faring Brits have a navy comprising merely 19 ships. No aircraft carriers, no… big things with nuclear shit, just 19 paltry vessels. Destroyers and Frigates. Which, presumably, – Read More-
I’m going into the travel advice business. I’m qualified; I been lots’a places. ‘Merica. ‘Stralia. Whitby. Barking. And when asked, say, about the ‘best way to get to Yorkshire’, I’ll answer; DON’T!!!!!! For fuck sake just stay home. Spring clean. Clip the budgie’s claws. Shred last year’s bank statements. Watch telly. Just DON’T GO TO – Read More-
Due to the latest in a long line of what the medical world terms: shoulder fuckage, I haven’t been allowed to resume my tennis habit. Which is a bummer. I love my tennis. Its my ‘thing’. I don’t gym (I’d rather grow obese gracelessly, with a chocolate eclair in each hand), I don’t swim, I – Read More-
If ever any dress was worth £4million it was that one. I’m not saying that’s what I’d spend 4 mil that I don’t have on, that would be a Veyron, a pro-fuel dragster (for communting), a new shoulder, one that works properly, a 1970 Dodge Charger and a bottle of face cream for Mel. She – Read More-
Michael Palin’s Monty Python accountant wanted to be a ‘lion-tamer’. The glamour, the danger, the spotlights, ahhhhhh. Ok, he didn’t exactly know what a lion-tamer was or did, but that’s not the point. The point is: do we need lion-tamers? As we go about our daily lives, are we enriched in any way shape or – Read More-
How excited can you get over HS2? On a scale from: ‘so what?’ to ‘oh, a new train; wake me up when something interesting happens’. Estimates for this project range from £60billion to infinity. And beyond. But worst of all; it won’t be completed until 2030. Which, allowing for delays, legal issues, union business, the – Read More-
“Chief branded a racist, fascist, misogynist”, ran the top of the page in the Times. Oh, they’re talking about Trump again. But no, this was Steve Bannon, Trump’s newly appointed chief strategist. And again, a man with no political experience. Unless you count running a right-wing web-site as ‘political experience’. The site, ‘Brietbart News’ is – Read More-
