Cluster-fuck…

America’s announcement yesterday to send cluster bombs to Ukraine to help ‘our side’ against the Russians has been met with many different opinions and posed many moral and political questions. Firstly, and perhaps most importantly; are cluster bombs any less vile, evil, nasty, indiscriminate, vicious and illegal (in most countries) if you refer to them – Read More-

green light…

I’m a Lundunner. Not one oo speaks like’a, ya’know, one’a dem kids wots needin Kier Starmer’s speech and locution bollox, none-a-dat-shit fer me, but a real Lundunner wot don’t never stop for pedestrian signals. I’d rather get run over dodging buses, trucks and speeding police cars than wait for a little green man to tell – Read More-

liberte, fraternite, egaliteeeeeee…

What the fuck is going on in France? They’re supposed to be cleaning the place up and getting ready for the Brits who will be arriving shortly in the same kind of numbers as the Normandy landing, but every day through August, as they take the kids for some sunshine and baguettes whilst they sip – Read More-

bunch’a bankers…

I’m pleased and quite frankly relieved to see that the Bank of England have decided to go ‘on message’ in the post-woke workplace. Rather than wasting their time sorting out interest rates which are at a pre-2008 high, worrying about inflation which doesn’t seem to be coming down as quickly as predicted/expected, or generally, doing – Read More-

Cringe…

As if Kier Starmer doesn’t make your skin crawl already, he just keeps upping the creepiness factor until, quite frankly, no-one else could ever get a look in. From being a horrible, anti-Semite-enabling do-nothing, sitting on Jeremy Corbyn’s shoulder for the ‘years of terror’, he’s now become the most negative, whingy-moany opposition leader ever, elevated – Read More-

Flowering…

I love a flower as much as the next man. Possibly more. Though it gets a bit less when I come home from work one day in about May and Mel tells me she’s bought ‘a few bedding plants’. And I open the car to find 2,000 little polystyrene boxes of earth looking at me, – Read More-

time…

What is time? Yeah, fucked if I know either, but its such a good question. I like David Bowie’s definition best of all: “Time. Inflexes like a whore, falls wanking to the floor…” Not because it explains anything whatsoever, but just because its quite gratuitously rude and vulgar, and I like that. Another definition might – Read More-

Phew…

Well that’s over. The coup in Russia. Possibly a ‘putsch’, maybe a shove. Almost a civil war. Its done with. You see, Mr Putin is such a nice, forgiving and tolerant world leader that he’s completely accepted the actions of the lovely Mr Prigozhin as ‘just a bit of an error, an over-excitement’, really nothing – Read More-

Peace at last…

OMG! Have you heard??? There’s going to be peace in Ukraine. Putin will lead a flock of doves over Kiev whilst hippy Muscovites sing a medley of Bob Dylan songs, translated from the original Yiddish, hugging trees from Odessa to Donetsk and everyone will declare love and brotherhood forevermore… Almost. The good news is actually – Read More-

choices…

So some geezer had an issue with online attack from vegans. Nothing unusual in that, there’s nothing as aggressive as an unprovoked, over-sensitive grass-eater. But this was in Perth, Australia. Land of the blunt and direct. And the man was restaurateur John Mountain and he responded in a fabulous way by stating ‘the vegan option – Read More-
