Not Yewtree Again
Now then, now then. Rolf Harris has shuffled off this mortal coil, and it is rumoured that the funeral is to be televised with the event being presented by Phillip Schofield in a new version of ‘This Mourning’. It turns out that he actually Jake the Pegged it nearly two weeks ago, and the funeral…

The Sniff Test
Ever wondered why politics seems so baffling? It’s because very little nowadays follows any predictable or logical course. This week, Rishi Sunak opined that Vlodosmear Zelensky ought to have given an address at the Eurovision Song Contest. Next, they’ll be haggling for Les Dennis to rock up at the United Nations. They say that every…

Diane Breath
I’m no Diane Abbott acolyte – after all, the daft old bint blocked me on Twitter an age ago for mocking her abysmal arithmetic. So what if she has made a bad point, or if she defines ‘racism’ a little differently to others? Isn’t that what politics is all about? She’s just saying that those…

Snookered
I’m old enough to remember when Keir Starmer and the new-old-New Labour acolytes whipped themselves into group hysteria at Boris Johnson’s claim that their boss had failed to prosecute Jimmy Savile. He was only the Director of Public Prosecutions after all – but, as he said, he had no direct responsibility for the case. We…

Timewasters
So, England snagged a win on Italian turf for the first time since 1961. Along the way, both fullbacks were booked for timewasting, which made the crowd wonder whether Gareth Southgate was up for a lifetime achievement award. Meanwhile, the Commons Standards Committee did their utmost to stepover past Boris and ended up going full…

Snatch of the Day
Good evening. Match of the Day will still be showing tomorrow but some soli-dar-idee will mean action only and no expert punditry. Business as usual then. I’m personally torn on this issue. I passionately support freedom of speech, but witnessing the Leftwaffe’s kamikazes ploughing into empty fields without shots being fired makes my ring tingle.…

Bad Actors
On the first anniversary of the war in the Ukraine, it’s worth reflecting on how much this squabble has warped perceptions and skewered objectivity. While reporting on Putin’s rally, a reporter from Sky News categorically stated that the Donbas region was part of the Ukraine and not Russia, which although a valid opinion is hardly…

Bulley Beef
We’ve had stalker cops, rapist cops, and killer cops. Some are all three. I’d almost forgotten that we have always had the most common flavour of utterly useless cops. That’s the baseline standard. Now we have the Nicola Bulley case where police incompetence is being showcased like never before. They’re all so crap, they can’t…

Hard-On
It seems to be a trend in all Labour parties across the Anglophone sphere to pack out the ranks with cronyist dynasty droids, blather on about social democracy, and rake in the cash. Now that Cindy Hardon has been sussed – although handing over slices of de facto sovereignty to Beijing can’t have endeared her…

Cock Blocking
Hold my lippie, sanity has indeed prevailed. Yes, Scottish geezers are still free to cosplay north of the border with their gender recognition certificates even if what they’re holding in the one hand is as scarcely convincing as the big ole hairy balls they have in the other. After all, we are all free to…
