Should Rachel Reeves have gone to China whilst over here the economy was doing bad things? If she’d have been here, could she have done something herself to prevent the pound slipping? To protect the rising rates of our national debt interest? Maybe stuck her finger in the hole where pound notes were slipping through – Read More-
As as kid, I learned my geography from football teams. Which can be problematical, if you’re trying to find ‘Everton’ on a map. But I learned Manchester (up norf), Liverpool (up norf), Arsenal (Woolwich), Southampton (up south) and Birmingham (Birmingham). I learned about Real Madrid and Bayern Munich and Inter Milan. From the international matches – Read More-
So I want to make an investment. I want to take £200, or £3000, or £45,000 and invest it. Thank you. What are you looking for, exactly? Errrr… that’ll be ‘money’. As much as I can get from my initial investment. Biggest return imaginable, or preferably unimaginable, and as little tax as can possibly be – Read More-
Ok, we’ve had to make a few changes to the geography books in time for next week. Greenland is no longer Danish and will now be known as ‘Greenstate’ and fly the stars and bars flag. Similarly the vast nation previously known as ‘Canada’ is to be ‘Canadianna’ and will be the offical 51st state – Read More-
Walking round London you get used to being approached by all sorts of individuals. There’s the charity dudes, clip-board in hand, ready to sign you up to pay a tenner a month to Oxfam, at least 9 quid of which will pay the charity dude and the company who hired him out, leaving just a – Read More-
So its all kicking off again. Elon Musk started it, shouting across the Atlantic about our ‘grooming squads’ of sex abusers up north and how we need a proper inquiry. Cos we’re short on public inquiries and got too much money in the exchequer, right? And this has been jumped on by the ‘right wing’ – Read More-
Elon Musk wants to rule the world. In a rather ‘alt-right’ way. So aligning himself with Trump is a logical step, he’s the new Steve Bannon. Because the old one ended up in jail. And Trump has to have a ‘populist’ person on his shoulder. How long these two super-egos can remain friendly is a – Read More-
I wish to talk about prejudice. Today. In a society so full of equality, anti-discrimination and diversity, there is still one terrible prejudice which remains alive and well and was demonstrated just last night, in Brighton. There is a systematic and institutionalised discrimination against Arsenal. By not just the referees and lines-people who implement the – Read More-
We haven’t been to war against America since 1783. After they dumped a ship-load of tea (a ‘ship-load’ is 3.7 times the size of a ‘shit-load’, for those not familiar with imperial measures) into Boston harbour. They won that war. And look at the state they’re in now, as a consequence. They should be thriving – Read More-
I’m back from holiday. I’m home. I can tell because I slept in my own bed last night and woke up this morning in Antarctica. It’s so cold, I don’t know how anyone can live here. And Mel went swimming at 7 this morning, outside(!!!! But heated, obvs, she’s keen, she’s not fucking stupid) when – Read More-
