Swiftly…

Taylor Swift is in trouble. On her newly released album is a track about London. Her boyfriend is from London. In fact from just up the road in Highgate. So Taylor turns her lyrical flair to My city and her newfound love for it. Or for him. Or both. Gets a bit blurred with all – Read More-

Sins of the father…

And the sins of the fathers shall be suffered unto their… brothers? Supposed to be sons, I know, but royalty does it different. So Harry gets in right royal storm over personally destroying the world’s atmosphere by jumping on a private jet and his brother gets the strongest punishment possible. William and family took a – Read More-

Race…

If Sadio Mane was racially abused for missing a penalty kick, I would blame ‘the good people of Liverpool’. But when its Paul Pogba of Manchester United who has been mercilessly hounded on social media, racially and horribly, for missing his penalty on Monday night, I have to blame the good people of Croydon, Hammersmith, – Read More-

A.B.C…

David Cameron’s legacy lives on. When, in a fit of UKIP-induced panic, the then Prime Minister announced Britain would have an ‘in/out’ vote on Europe, he caused, in that single moment, divisions in the land that may never be healed. This is our ‘War of the Roses’ for the digital generation. And it goes from – Read More-

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-
