Everyone loves communism. When they’re 17-18 years old and don’t know what it means. It sounds so ‘fair’, so equal. A life of working for the community, never needing anything, never wanting, working for the good of all, decisions made by committee. Brilliant. Except it doesn’t work. Never has, never will. Not on a large – Read More-
Donald Trump has a lot to answer for really. He’s a sexist pig, a total moron, he repeats everything he says twice, because its so important you might have missed it the first time. (Bring in finger gestures:) SO. IMPORTANT. YOU. MAY. HAVE. MISSED. IT. THE. FIRST. TIME. He builds walls to keep his neighbours – Read More-
Its our democratic right to vote. That doesn’t mean we need to be doing it every sodding day. Yet the Prime Minister has now called a general election for June 8th. She waited for me to finalise our Scotland trip (we’re leaving on June 7) and then set the next available day. But I’ve got – Read More-
Last season Newcastle were relegated to the Championship. This year, barring an almost miracle, both their fellow North-East teams, Middlesboro and Sunderland, will go down too. Possibly even Hull which is not far… well, up north somewhere. Though Newcastle look destined to return. But for the 3 months of no football, there’ll be no North – Read More-
I grew up in London. The best place ever. Biggest playground in the world. All things were available at every stage of life. Brilliant. I could smoke like a chimney by the time I was 12, play a decent game of snooker by 14, knew the tube network inside out, all that was missing was – Read More-
What a weekend that this… has been? is being, will continue to be??? Cos it goes on and on, seems like for 4 days. Which of course it is. I’m loving Jesus too at this point. Yesterday Spurs won. Again, not just a win but a blow-away, fuck-off annihilation. Superb, elegant, classy, fast, powerful. Frikkin – Read More-
Jesus, feels like I’ve been away forever. Oddly, Jesus has been away forever too. But is due back now, tomorrow or the next day, so don’t worry. But its a funny thing, I get time off work and suddenly my time’s not my own. So even though the world has now taken about 4 more – Read More-
I love Facebook. I’m a recent ‘convert’. And now it allows me to post photos of lovely little Lila every day for loads of my friends, and even more people that I don’t even know, to swoon over and ‘like’ and ‘love’ and ‘aaaahhhhhh xxxxx’. And once one person has ‘liked’ it, the photo goes – Read More-
Boris goes to the G7 summit, because they need a court jester in that Falstaff mode over there to lighten things up. He was already made lame by his cancellation of a meeting with Putin because he didn’t want to take the glory away from Rex Tillerson, the American Secretary of State and ‘former’ friend – Read More-
The thing about Passover, other than not eating bread for a week, unless you’re at work, or you forget, or you just can’t be bothered not to, is about ‘telling the story’. You have to tell the story of when Moses led his people out of bondage in Egypt, over to safety, passing of the – Read More-
