In just 5 days the football season kicks off once more. I know, its barely finished from last year and managed to drag its way limply through the summer (summer? where??) with the Gels’ World Cup and a bunch of soggy friendlies played all over the world as the Chinese and the Malaysians and the – Read More-
From each according to his ability; to each according to his need. Thus spake Karl Marx in his communist doctrine. And that’s how communism works. Everyone works as hard as they possibly can, 80 hour weeks in Siberian mines, flat out in a Moscow bank, laying bricks, selling derivatives, but only takes in return what – Read More-
British people generally and David Cameron specifically, have been accused of ‘racism’ and ‘xenophobia’ because of the ongoing and worsening migrant problem currently engaging the world. Calling them ‘a swarm’ was not Dave Cam’s finest choice of words, but no-one ever said he was clever when under pressure. Yet that term really encapsulates the nature – Read More-

Some mademoiselle was sunbathing in a park wearing a bikini, as you do when sunbathing, when a girl walked past and made a snidey comment. Mademoiselle offered an insult of her own and the two came to blows. Now that’s – Read More-
John (Lord; for the time being) Sewel is a Scotsman. I think its important to get that out there right at the start. And until Sunday he was the chairman of the Standards and Privileges committee in the House of Lords. The group that monitors, err, well, standards and privileges I’d imagine. To stop Their – Read More-
The football season is just days away. Next weekend is the Community Shield/Charity Shield/No-one-cares Shield at Wembley, the traditional season opener between the winners of the League and FA Cup. Chelsea against Arsenal. Lovely. And the following weekend its all, literally, kicking off. And I find myself a bit numb to it all. It seems – Read More-
Do you remember where you were on July 23rd 2011? Probably not. Its not like the Kennedy moment, not even like Spurs beating Inter at the Lane. We had a barbecue. Ahhhh, nice. Yep, our great mates had popped round, all the way from Toronto just for a burnt sausage and some of my patented – Read More-
If a day is a long time in politics; how long is a few measly hours in the housing market. Last night’s Evening Standard bore the headline that ‘house prices are plummeting’ due to the new stamp duty. Yet this morning’s Times, just a few hours later, informs us that ‘house prices are rising’ due – Read More-
