So its 2012 and the Olympic games have just finished in London. The best Olympic Games EVERRRRRRR, no doubt about that. Mainly because there’s never been another one I could get to with my Tube card and make it home in 40 minutes. And also because it was brilliant. All round, just brilliant. Ok, that’s – Read More-
The problem with getting to the end of the universe is a simple one. Basically, its a fuck of a long way away. Further than anything else. Scientific fact. If you take the Northern Line all the way to High Barnet (which certainly feels like the end of the world) you’re not much closer to – Read More-
I’m bored with tax now. Not that it was ever suggested that the world of taxation was in any way interesting, exciting or spectacular. But really. Iss enough already. David Cameron’s tax return, George Osborne’s, Boris’s, Jeremy Fucking Corbyn’s. Surely what would be more interesting is what is NOT on the tax returns. The dodgy – Read More-
There was a football match in the afternoon yesterday Manchester United were coming to play At White Hart Lane in Tottenham-land Four a clock kick off, all sorted and planned. Not ‘four-ish’, or ‘whenever’ or ‘see how the day goes’ But four o’clock sharp, Sky tv’s comin’, everyone bloody knows There’s 3 million people sitting – Read More-
If we had a Guillotine in the this country David Cameron would be headless by now. I have no doubt that the public ‘fury’ at his ‘undeclared sale of 30 thousand pounds (!!!!!)’ of ‘offshore shares (!!!!!!)’ before he was Prime Minister, fired up by the morons in the press, would have seen the man – Read More-
I need to check once more, but I actually think this weekend’s game at Spurs is EVEN more massive than last weekend’s at Anfield… Yes, I’ve checked now, on my patented ‘DON’T PANIC; OK, FUCKING PANIC NOOOOWWWWW!!!!’ system for importance assessment and Sunday’s match with Manchester United is simply humungous. No-one will be talking about – Read More-
The headline reads: ‘paying prostitutes is a new French crime’. Fantastic! Prostitution is now free (at the point of service) in France. Maybe state-aided. You get vouchers with your tax return. Those French who pay tax, that is. Dominique Strauss-Kahn, now implicated in ‘the Panamanian Shit’, certainly doesn’t pay tax. There again he doesn’t pay – Read More-
The Mossack Fonseca scandal goes from strength to strength. It has now moved from ‘oooooh’ to ‘Jesus fucking Christ!!!’ mode on the international scale of amazement and tabloid incitement to moral high-groundiness. To encourage these feelings in the public, the media have found some interesting facts, nice, inflammatory ones, to help us with our disgust, – Read More-
Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely. Who said that? Well not David Cameron. Who, even in my cynical mind, is in no way ‘corrupt’. Just a bit of a nob. An upper-class rich kid who’s never had a proper job in his life. He didn’t need to. He had a very rich daddy. Who I’ll – Read More-
There’s two topics currently obsessing the media. The British Steel Industry and Overseas Aid. So it was only a matter of time, and sufficiently shitty journalism, before someone put 2 and 2 together and came up with the reactionary, knee-jerk, middle-class, right wing result of 172 million. Because that was the ‘extra’ overseas aid that – Read More-
