So where was the elephant? Last night? On Channel 4 when they had the ‘next prime minister’ debate, where was the great lumbering cuddly blonde elephant? There was a pedestal, empty. It had a photo of Boris upon it. But no show from (probably) the next PM of our fine nation. But he’ll only be – Read More-
Its my birthday today. June 16th. Same as last year. Thanks for the (fucking) card!! And its the day after our wedding anniversary (so I’d ‘never forget’ even though I did and only bought the card half way through yesterday) and its also father’s day. Which personally, you can keep. If you need Hallmark to – Read More-
Jo Brand caused a shit-storm this week and was one, little, pathetic, nanny-stated, overly-concerned, politically-correct moment away from police prosecution. For a joke. The comedienne (if you can still call them that, because there’s been no such thing as an ‘actress’ since 1974) said, on a radio show called ‘Heresy’ (ffs; in case anyone thought – Read More-
So the Conservatives had their first round of leadership voting yesterday and immediately got rid of all the women.

The Thai team offered a free massage to every American player after their very happy ending. I mean 13-nil!!! Were the Thais using a Scottish goalkeeper – Read More-
Ok, gloves off, get ready, stand and declare. The Tories who wish to become the new leader and consequently the new Prime Minister (150 grand a year, company car, nice house, own police force, all the security guards you can eat) have thrown their hats into the ring for the first vote on Thursday. At – Read More-
So the Sunday Times had a poll. ‘Should women footballers be paid the same as men?’ Oohhhh, that’s controversial. But in fact it ain’t. Not at all. Nothing to do with sexism, equality or anything else; its just economics. The boys’ game is funded by tv rights. For which the tv companies pay, literally, billions. – Read More-
Last week I had cause to mention, in a rather complimentary, supportive and positive way, Peter Willsman, after he was suspended from the Labour Party for anti-semitism. For the second time. And thus suspended from his exalted role on that party’s ‘national executive’. Pending ‘investigation’. Which Labour are really good at. They may not be – Read More-
Michael Gove is a drug addict! Michael Gove uses cocaine!!! Michael Gove took cocaine a couple of times!! Michael Gove made a mistake!!!
