“THE EUROPEAN UNION COSTS BRITAIN £350,000,000 EVERY WEEK!!!!!!” So proclaims the Leave Campaign’s bus. Plastered across the side of it. Huge letters. A blind man could see it from a mile away. 350 mil, every fucking week, pissed away on funding the vast, sprawling, undemocratic ‘thing’ that is ‘Europe’. And that money, which should be – Read More-

I’ve heard of the ‘naughty step’ where errant children are forced so sulk whilst contemplating the errors of their ways.

That the cat’s tail is attached permanently and should not be removed so it can be wrapped around – Read More-
England played last night. Another, and the last, warm-up for the Euros, starting soon in a French country very near you. I missed it. Thank God. I hate friendlies, even when England have become basically ‘Spurs with lions on’. And this friendly was so limp that Portugal’s only real player never even bothered to show – Read More-
The sandwich bar chain, Pret, is opening a pop-up in Soho to test a new concept in Pretism; vegetarian food only. Oooooh, that’s radical.
