spanner in the works…

On Nigel Farage’s cv, it lists his qualities, as the enfante terrible of British politics. Sorry, of European politics. And under all his other… qualifications (drinking too much, smoking like a chimney, inciting racism, lying to the nation) and achievements (Brexit, UKIP, frightening a Prime Minister into proving how little the population understand), there is – Read More-

In the army now…

They’re bringing back conscription. Not present in this country since nineteen-sixty-something, we’re going to force people into ‘national service’. Or ‘national service light’ as it really comes with no real sanctions for not doing it and it’s sort of voluntary but you have to do it. Or sign up to community service instead. So given – Read More-

Feel the Force…

Like Luke Skywalker, (another small person), Rishi Sunak listened to his advisers, his consultants, his electioneering specialists and then a voice in his head said: “FEEL THE FORCE, RISHI”, so he threw the whole motley crew out of his office, strode out into the pouring rain outside number 10 and told the world (57 drenched – Read More-

good mourning…

President Raisi tragically died in a helicopter crash on Sunday night. The president of all of Iran, famous for being an amazing Ayatollah-impressionist, met his doom when the aircraft was traveling across a mountain range in dense fog. So good work there from Iranian Air Traffic Control. The vehicle suffered what they are calling ‘a – Read More-

all quiet…

Silence may be golden but I know you worry when you don’t hear from me. Ok, you should worry when you don’t hear from me. But I’ve just been soooooo busy. As life sometimes gets. Friday was an early start. We needed to be in Elstree for 8am to see a penis. Ok, for a – Read More-

Apropos of nothing…

What’s a ‘foodie’? Someone who loves ‘fine dining’. As opposed to someone who likes all dining. Preferably with a trough of some kind, filled with wonderful things. Breakfast buffets do it for me, as long as they’re good. And am I a ‘foodie’? Or a ‘pig’?? Because I don’t stop. Can’t stop. Don’t want to. – Read More-

Right and wrong…

Last night. White Hart Lane. Man City. Most important game of the season. Of the decade. Ever. In the entire history of all things. Here’s the scenario. Massively important game for Man City. Lose, or even draw, and Arsenal become hot favourites to win the league. Win, and they take it all. Assuming of course – Read More-

Yom ha’atzmaut…

Today is Yom ha’atzmaut. Israel’s Independence Day. The Declaration of Independence was 14th May 1948 and since then they have turned a complete desert into a thriving, lush, beautiful and incredibly productive nation. Fiercely democratic, ultra-liberal, inclusive, tolerant and leads the world in technology and medical advancement. It also leads the world in weaponised defence – Read More-

More Lisbon…

We fly home today. 5 o’clock flight, in case you fancy picking me up from Heathrow. And who doesn’t love that trip? Which is why God invented the Elizabeth Line. Upon which special people (very very old ones) travel freeeeee!!! It’s been truly fantastic. Yesterday we set a world record of over 26,000 steps walked. – Read More-
