Reap wot you sow…

Two Labour MPs decided to take a trip to Israel. Why not? It’s fab there this time of year; not too hot yet, and gorgeous. Furthermore, unlike when I go, these freeloaders get the taxpayers to fund it. Whole trip, right down to the extra chillies on the felafel. They took a few ‘aides’ with – Read More-

Death and taxes…

So we’ve done taxes to death this week, with all this tariff talk, so we need to concentrate on death. Ok, I never promised ‘cheery’, some might find it positively morbid, but it needs to be discussed. Not the actual deaths themselves, but the attitudes and moral relativity of two particular kinds of deaths. Firstly – Read More-

Re-cip-ro-cal…

So here’s the ‘deal’ for tariffs. England gets to incur 10% on all goods imported to America, because we’ve been ripped off for so long and cheated and it should be 19.7%, based on the refusal to accept chlorinated chickens and toxic Texas beef and the fact that they impose a 20% tax on all – Read More-

Tragic loss…

Marine le Penn is the leader of the French National Front. Whatever exalted title they give their neo-nazi party these days, it’s the ‘national front’. But written in French. Obviously. Whilst engaged as a member of the European Parliament (where failed politicians tend to end up) she basically stole money from the EU to fund – Read More-

Happy birthday Lila…

When Justin Welby was… elevated?, promoted?, ascended?, raised on the high alter of Christianity to a table so high he sat with just God and the Pope for company!!!, I thought: what a nob. There’s something horribly smug about the man. Something smarmy. There’s someone who really thinks he’s cleverer than everyone else. And can – Read More-

Fast and furious…

I wanted to drive from age 2. They wouldn’t let me. Bastards. I had to wait til I was 14. Because my brother’s mate, also-Richard, was given a van for work when he was 17 and he took me to a little airdrome in Romford which had been converted into a faux road system for – Read More-

no prisoners…

I appreciate that not all Republicans are aggressive, domineering, scornful, malicious, lying, denying, avoiding, side-changing, disloyal, anti-Europe, anti-UK scumbags. Only the ones we see on tv. And most of the others. Who have three approaches to any question: deny, lie, shout. Even simple and easy questions like: what level of incompetence does it take to – Read More-

Car crazy…

The Lord Trump has issued a decree!! That henceforth and forthwith and foreverafter, (until his next brainless whim), there shalst be a tariff on ALLL imported cars in the WHOLE of the United States of America, of 25%!!! And so it is written. Amen. This will cause major fuckage in the UK. Because 20% of – Read More-

Life after…

Ok, so 70, for some reason, has become the latest… thing. Everyone’s turning 70, or thereabouts, so you get articles like this one, showing you what to do so that when you approach that terribly awful number of years, you’re not just still alive, like with a tube up your nose and a walking frame – Read More-

unreservedly…

I’ve found a great and unquestionable difference between Americans and English people. And it is that we, the British, tend to grow up. With time. Over years. As you’re supposed to. We also develop an intrinsic and instinctual understanding of age-appropriate behaviour and responses. Whereas Americans, on the other hand, tend towards stupidity and retain – Read More-
