This was emphatically NOT a drastic and immense defeat for the toxic anti-Semitic, Stalinist moron and his cohorts. Not at all. Nothing like that. It was just a re-definition of the word ‘few’. That’s all. A blip. A hitch. A minor set-back in the rise of Britain’s alignment with Moscow, Venezuela, North Korea, Iran and – Read More-
Normally, on the day of a General Election, I’d say ‘the talking’s over’. But this time I have to say, ‘the shouting, swearing, lying, cheating, obfuscating, disseminating, miscalculations, economy with the truth and character assassinations are over’. It’s been dirty. It’s been mean. It’s been a slanging match, a slagging match, a fistfight, a brawl – Read More-
Just a quick PS to yesterday’s post about this kid on the floor of A & E at Leeds infirmary. As it now transpires, amid very strong rumours, that said pic-chure was a ‘put-up’ job. He laid down, mum took photos, he got up and they walked away. Mum then hit the social media. And – Read More-
I know this is 2019 and we spend half our time signing little online waivers about cookies and ‘personal data’ and how it won’t be shared, divided, used against us in a court of law, sold to third parties, especially the Labour Party. But we don’t think about that. You can’t access that link or – Read More-
Our two esteemed (phah) political leaders have been accusing each other of politicising major events. Like the London Bridge attack. Jeremy Corbyn in particular feels this to be inappropriate. And yet yesterday had no qualms about holding up a photo of a 4 year-old boy, suffering with pneumonia, being treated on the floor of the – Read More-
You know you’re getting old when they keep sending you ‘invitations’. Not for parties, no longer for raves, orgies, toga nights, to play for Spurs at right back cos Aurier’s injured, nuffink like that. You get invitations to have health checks. In addition to all the ones you have because bits have broken. So, having – Read More-
Went out for dinner last night. With some friends. So when Harry Kane scored the first goal for Spurs, a beautiful, stunning wonderstrike, I immediately called our local fish’n’chip shop to book a table. Then Lucas Moura hit a second. So I cancelled the chippie and booked El Vaquero instead. Seemed only fair. But then – Read More-
Normally, following my morning martial arts (fighting with wooden poles, in a friendly way), I’d spend the following hour or so playing tennis. But not today. As a ‘one off’ hopefully, and not ‘the shape of things to come’, I instead spent 75 minutes inside an MRI scanner. Nice there. Listened to LBC. Almost drowned – Read More-
One week. Six more days. Ok, almost 1 week. And then we’ll know EVERYTHING. The fighting will be over, the battles ended, the… the other things… done! We’ll know who is to be our next Prime Minister. And with what kind of majority. We’ll know whether Brexit will ‘get done’ (a phrase which has become – Read More-
Amazon started off selling books. Jeff Bezos’ brainchild was to discount book prices and deliver them to people’s homes. A noble idea and it was fairly successful. But not enough for the Bezos-es-iz of this world. So he ‘diversified’. And now is the richest man the world has ever known, without ever getting oil on – Read More-
