The current and latest (of oh so many) scandal to hit the BBC is ‘presentergate’. A nameless (so far) ‘top’ BBC presenter was paying a young man, arguably and allegedly, a ‘boy’, when the saga began, for naughty images or videos, in exchange for quite a lot of money. I won’t speculate who this ‘presenter’, – Read More-
Just before I start on the tennis (OMG, the tennis!!!!), we need to talk cricket. Specifically: The Ashes, third test at Headingly. And the foe was bested. Ok, it wasn’t ‘comfortable’. When Ben Stokes left the pitch English heads dropped. Mine included. Which wasn’t great because I was driving when it happened. Perhaps cars sold – Read More-
Whilst we’re waiting for the new football season to start, this weekend represents some kind of pinnacle of ‘other sports’ stuff. As England enter the 4th day of the 3rd Ashes test with every chance to win it but, obviously, an equally ‘every chance’ of losing it. Should the former happen, ‘THE SERIES IS ALIVE!!!’, – Read More-
America’s announcement yesterday to send cluster bombs to Ukraine to help ‘our side’ against the Russians has been met with many different opinions and posed many moral and political questions. Firstly, and perhaps most importantly; are cluster bombs any less vile, evil, nasty, indiscriminate, vicious and illegal (in most countries) if you refer to them – Read More-
I’m a Lundunner. Not one oo speaks like’a, ya’know, one’a dem kids wots needin Kier Starmer’s speech and locution bollox, none-a-dat-shit fer me, but a real Lundunner wot don’t never stop for pedestrian signals. I’d rather get run over dodging buses, trucks and speeding police cars than wait for a little green man to tell – Read More-
What the fuck is going on in France? They’re supposed to be cleaning the place up and getting ready for the Brits who will be arriving shortly in the same kind of numbers as the Normandy landing, but every day through August, as they take the kids for some sunshine and baguettes whilst they sip – Read More-
I’m pleased and quite frankly relieved to see that the Bank of England have decided to go ‘on message’ in the post-woke workplace. Rather than wasting their time sorting out interest rates which are at a pre-2008 high, worrying about inflation which doesn’t seem to be coming down as quickly as predicted/expected, or generally, doing – Read More-
As if Kier Starmer doesn’t make your skin crawl already, he just keeps upping the creepiness factor until, quite frankly, no-one else could ever get a look in. From being a horrible, anti-Semite-enabling do-nothing, sitting on Jeremy Corbyn’s shoulder for the ‘years of terror’, he’s now become the most negative, whingy-moany opposition leader ever, elevated – Read More-
I love a flower as much as the next man. Possibly more. Though it gets a bit less when I come home from work one day in about May and Mel tells me she’s bought ‘a few bedding plants’. And I open the car to find 2,000 little polystyrene boxes of earth looking at me, – Read More-
What is time? Yeah, fucked if I know either, but its such a good question. I like David Bowie’s definition best of all: “Time. Inflexes like a whore, falls wanking to the floor…” Not because it explains anything whatsoever, but just because its quite gratuitously rude and vulgar, and I like that. Another definition might – Read More-
