Justin Welby has resigned and there’ll be a new Justin Welby elected later by some Synod or enclave or whatever is the collective term for a bunch’a people wearing silly hats. He had to go, there was no way back. To ‘not take action’ when child abuse is suspected is to be complicit. And he – Read More-
MATCH OF THE DAY WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN!!!!! I keep reading how the BBC are ‘worried’ that once smug, arrogant tosspot Gary Lineker leaves next summer, ‘that MOTD may not survive!!!’ So let’s think about that just before we get on to the belated departure (should have been kicked out 5 years ago) – Read More-
I want to talk about football. About my team. About Tottenham. And about injustice. About evil forces. About a lack of a supreme diety. And about Lila. Because she was there. So we need to include ‘child abuse’ in Tottenham’s list of failures and crimes. No child should have to be made to suffer like – Read More-
You’ll know when the world’s ending because the bible gave us lots of clues to look out for. “Nation fighting nation” is one of them. And as that’s pretty much a constant since humans evolved, we can tick that box. “Food shortages” is another, exacerbated by one of the horsemen of the apocalypse. Well last – Read More-
I make that three assassination attempts so far. That we know of!!! And all three have failed. The first one either by fortuitous turn of the head or by sniper ineptitude, the second because walking round a golf course which has 635 security guards whilst carrying an assault rifle over your shoulder may possibly attract – Read More-
When you fight an election you only have two choices: continuity or change. Which is why the Starmers used the ‘c’-word… ok, they’re both ‘c’-words, used the word ‘change’, during the whole election campaign, 7,324,092 times. I’ve counted. The Tories promised continuity because the economy was ‘on the right track’ and Boris was nowhere in – Read More-
The votes are still being counted. In Alaska and Hawaii they’re still voting. But I am declaring my undisputed victory in the Presidential election. In fact I declared it last Wednesday. I have a lot of respect for Kamala Harris. She was the worst vice-president in the history of America. She stood at the border – Read More-
Rachel Reeves did her best on Wednesday to tax the living shit out of every living Englishman. (The Scots, Welsh and Irish are mainly unemployed or on benefits so don’t count for tax purposes). So why is it that when I try to buy a Mercedes AMG One, they’re all sold out? I thought I’d – Read More-
I saw the league table this morning. And thought they were showing one from 1972. Liverpool top, Nottingham Forest 3rd, Aston Villa 5th, I mean, WTF??? These are teams mired in 1970s, sepia-coloured, historical-interest-only glory. Alright, Liverpool have had their moments, in between various Hillsboro’ inquiries, of winning a few things, and of course Manchester – Read More-
So it’s the week of winners and losers. We had the budget, we’ve had the Conservative Party leadership contest and then, just to make up the 3, we’ll include the rather trivial American election on Tuesday. Possibly to be repeated on Friday, depending on allegations of cheating. By both sides. In the same states. And – Read More-
