Everywhere green…

Being ‘green’ is fine. Being a carbon-slob with no care nor consideration for one’s emissions is fine too. Its a free world. In which the only crime is hypocrisy. And the higher you shout and scream about any subject, the further you’re gonna fall when you’re shown to be guilty of the crimes you’ve been – Read More-

right royal mess…

The Palace would like to state, clearly and emphatically, that HRH Prince Andrew Windsor of… Royaltyland, was not involved in any way whatsoever with the dirty, sleazy and corrupt world of Jeffrey Epstein, May the Devil rest his soul. The recently produced video tapes of someone who looks a lot like Prince Andrew, standing at – Read More-

V. A. Aaaaaaahhhhhh…

You can dream. You can hope. You can pray. None of which ever makes things happen the way you’d like. That’s why its called ‘the dream’, or ‘hope’. Because its unlikely to happen without a lot of luck. Or possibly outside influence. And thus didst the Hotspurs of Tottenham trek to the great, wild northern – Read More-

Mad…

If you think Brexit is funny, if you’re amused by Jeremy Corbyn’s stupidly facile attempt to slither his slimy way through the back door into Number 10, if you find Caroline Lucas’ ridiculous suggestion that she should be in charge of anything more important than a tv remote to be quite hilarious, then you should – Read More-

balance of power…

Caroline Lucas is an MP for the Green Party. And there ain’t many of them, so she’s doing alright. In fact she is the parliamentary Green Party, all by herself. And she came up with a plan. Not just a plan to elevate her from her normal status of “Caroline who? Oh, her, she’s a – Read More-

The plan…

So this is the plan. To stop the dreaded ‘no deal Brexit’ upon which Boris is so intent. Jeremy Corbyn will have a vote of no confidence in the government. For which really, there is no logical nor political argument. No-one has any confidence in the government. Nor the one before, nor probably, seventeen others – Read More-

rammed…

In the last year ‘overcrowding’ on the tubes has doubled. By their definition of ‘overcrowding’. Which is when they actually close the station to stop more people coming onto the platforms because they’re gonna get pushed onto the tracks by sheer domino effect. They closed stations nearly 500 times. I bet mostly it was London – Read More-

Snob…

I’m an Essex boy. Well, I moved there (probably in fact ‘was moved’) when I was 1. From da East End. In those days the East End was the domain of the Krays, of everything dodgy, of slums and workhouses (ok, bit Dickensian but I’m allowed to exaggerate for effect). Nowadays the East End is – Read More-

Up and running…

Football’s back on again. It stopped. In May. I hated that. Now its on again, and that marks the end of the 10 WEEKS OF HELL!!! which is now over for another year. So on the first weekend, the ‘big teams’ get staggered over the whole weekend. To maximise tv potential. And the ‘top 4’, – Read More-

Democratic, innit…

There’s a new byword in Westminster. A trump card. The ‘joker’. To be deployed by anyone reaching any kind of sticky situation, anyone ‘cornered’, anyone running out of cogent, logical argument. Just throw in the ‘DEMOCRATIC’ card and it reduces the opponents to mere dust. It’s like the smart button on a video game. When – Read More-
