The whole world is talking about jihadi brides returning. Well, my whole world is. That’s me, Mel, The Times, the News, Question Time and Lila. And on the radio too. Not radio two, but The radio, TOO. In fact on LBC. The phone-ins have been talking about pretty much nothing else since Shamima was ‘found’ – Read More-
They’re back. Liladays. They went away due to staff issues, but they’re now resolved so we’re back on track. And the ‘full thing’. Wednesday night sleepover running seamlessly into Liladay. Brilliant. Though ‘sleepover’ implies, errrr, ‘sleeping’ and I don’t wish to convey the image of… of… of sleep. Sleepover is what it should be. Lila – Read More-
The new in-party of ex-Labour disgruntees has now grown to a massive 8 people. Yet if they get 4 more they’ll have the same number of MPs as the Liberal Democrat’s. Which is interesting but irrelevant in a way that the Lib Dem’s themselves are somewhat irrelevant. I’m just happy that Labour is in difficulty – Read More-
So 7 MPs resign from the Labour Party yesterday and more are expected soon. As well as many disgruntled Tories too, they fear/reckon/dread (depending on your standing on the political spectrum. If you’re a ‘Green’ then just say ‘ohmmmmm’ and hug a tree). The only resignation that didn’t come yesterday was that of Maurizio Sarri. – Read More-
Its happened. What, for all other people is ‘hot news!!’ about a splinter group of MPs leaving the Labour party today, but as I predicted and anticipated this yesterday, for you, this is old news. I am Nostradamus! Why have they left? I think one sub-headline on the BBC’s newspage sums it up beautifully, reading: – Read More-
I love movies. I love all types of movies. Action thrillers, action thrillers and also action thrillers. Ok, that’s a joke. I’m not even keen on action killers and wouldn’t see a ‘Bond’ if ya paid me in gold-plated Aston Martins. But I will see a thriller and I’ll see art house and I’ll see – Read More-
Half the priests in the Vatican are gay. Big fucking surprise there. In the new ‘revelations’ from a book about the homosexual life within the most outwardly homophobic ‘state’ in the world. Other than maybe Saudi, Iran, Qatar. The other 50% of the Vaticanees fondle little girls. Ok, maybe I made that up, maybe I – Read More-
Shamima Begum wants to come ‘home’. To Britain. Where she was born. Where she was raised. Where she lived until she was 15. At which point, along with 2 mates, she took the very long and winding road to Syria, via Turkey, to join ISIS. And although as we all know, a 15 year old – Read More-
Its a truly beautiful morning here in London town. Springlike. Sunny. Mild. Gorgeous. The flowers are getting ready to bloom, the birds are singing their songs and Spurs beat Dortmund in the Champions League last night. How could any day get better than that? Lila turning up at half seven was a massive bonus, day-wise. – Read More-
Decades before some pretentiously right-on, anonymous graffiti-fucker started daubing neo-political messages on the back gate of number 73 Halstead Grove, Esher and other such ‘galleries’, the world was blessed with another ‘Banksie’. This one also an artist. But of a different type. An artist of the goalkeeping type. And whilst asking the normally rhetorical question: – Read More-
