Ahhh, the MayDay holiday today, even though official ‘mayday’ was officially yesterday. Officially. So rather than hurling bricks at Goldman Sachs and setting fire to various Starbucks, the normal Mayday rioters took to Clerkenwell to listen to the great Jeremy Corbyn address the masses. I’d rather paint a wall. So I did. In Mel’s study. – Read More-
The world is being divided. Round here it is, anyway. Not just between the anti-semites and the good people, but so much division. And its bad. Its… divisive. The Labour Party is now totally divided over the Ken Livingstone ‘shit’. If he’s thrown out of the party for his comments, the left will be in – Read More-
Throughout history the Jews have existed so that the rest of the world has someone to blame. For all the shit that goes wrong; the Jew(s) did it. Whatever ‘it’ may be. So they were persecuted throughout most of biblical time by various versions of Egyptians, Canaanites, Assyrians, whoever was around and could wield a – Read More-
The Hillsborough disaster was a game-changer. Quite literally. It changed the game I loved. Or rather, it changed the way it was watched. As a consequence of Hillsborough, all top flight grounds became ‘all seating’. I hated it at the time and sometimes I still do. I watch in on tv whilst standing up, but – Read More-
On Sunday night’s news they announced that British Home Stores, BHS, was about to go into receivership. My first thought was: “are they still around??” I thought they’d gone the way of Woolworths decades ago.

The sun is out, the sky is blue, there’s not a cloud to spoil the view, but… And the irony is; it really is a beautiful, good-to-be-alive, get-out-there, wonderful morning in London today. I actually wish it was raining, dull, grey, cold. Would be a better fit. Suit the mood. Because last night was the – Read More-
Yeah, a lot of nerves being shown at Leicester now. Right. We’ve been waiting for this. The pressure, the realisation of what they are probably about to achieve. The loss of their talismanic (and a lot of other ‘manic’ too; have you seen his eyes??? there’s something of the night about Jamie Vardy) striker. The – Read More-
Have you heard of Gematria? I’ll give you a clue, its not an East European country between Serbia and Albania. Its not a disease of the lower intestine of arthritic type. Nor is it a new form of yoga in which you eat kale whilst sitting in a sauna on your head. Its about numbers. – Read More-
Malia Bouattia has been elected president of the National Union of Students. Hooray for Malia! And a bit of a shame for everyone else. Because Malia is basically horrible. Nasty, evil, vile and, even though she’d probably disagree, a fucking racist. Its not her fault that she won her election in the week of Passover. – Read More-
Finishing fourth at anything generally gets you nothing. You can win a gold, silver or bronze medal. They don’t make one out of plastic, wood or shit. Which is all you deserve for such failings. Horses ‘win’, ‘place’ or ‘show’. They may ‘turn up’ and even ‘finish’ but its only the first three that count. – Read More-
