Home to Roost
It’s been a week of chickens coming home to roost. Salman Rushdie has probably realised that no matter what your haughty principles are, sometimes it’s wise to be just a tad pragmatic. He wrote a book to provoke a reaction, and it worked. He slated Islam and motivated 1.9bn Muslims, one of whom was bound…

Lez We Forget
Another day, another bandwagon. And so the Women’s Euros came to pass. If people want to celebrate a gang of lesbians playing in slow-mo to the standard of a very average regional non-league team, that’s fine. But let’s not confuse it with sporting excellence. Just for context, in 2017 the US team played a match…

Chat Shit, Get Banged
I remember when Mr Justice Peter Smith’s judgment on the Da Vinci Code case included some encrypted comments, which marked him out as something of a wag or a twat, depending on your perspective. That dilemma persists in the courts to this very day. What a shame that the judge in the Wagatha Christie case…

The Race to the Bottom
And so the candidate debate came and went. If you are happy to commit to any one of these woeful cretins, you’re a braver man than I. I couldn’t imagine anything more daunting. Were all heading for a bad knock in the very near future, made worse by the little trust in our politics. Soon…

Clownfall
So there you have it. The downfall of the clown whose actions took down three prime ministers: David Cameron, Theresa May, and himself. Slur Beer Korma’s speechwriter had a great daon Wednesday with the ‘sinking ship’ and ‘lightweight brigade’ quips – shame that he or she is not the leader of the opposition. Never forget…

Crisp Incher
A few months ago, Custard Bag overhauled the team in The Cabinet Office in order to design out habitual gaffing, and an integral part of the incoming administrative A-team was Chris Pincher. That didn’t age well. He’s now copped his P45 after having a couple of beers and groping a pair of hairly blokes, like…

Plane Sailing
The stragegy of accusing the Government of ‘people trafficking’ themselves is straight out of the Nazi ‘Big Lie’ playbook. It’s a belter so humongous that no one would believe that someone could have had the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. And it’s doubtless a fresh incarnation of the old standby of A accusing…

UK Reign
As the populace of the UK celebrates the 70-year reign of HM Queen Elizabeth II, Übertit Voldamort Zelensky is desperately clinging to his 100 days of fame. He’s overshot the Warhol allowance, that’s for sure. Mate, nobody gives a toss. Yes, all the usual suspects donned your wanky blue-and-yellow ribbons when the invasion was garnering…

Gueye Bashing
Spare a thought today for Idrissa Gueye, who is about to have his career curtailed by the thought Nazis for pulling back from the abyss of virtue-signalling hell and refusing to take one for the team. It’s been the most controversial LGBT issue in sport since the Green Bay Packers relocated from the town of…

The Great Pretenders
Forget inflation, recession, and COVID. The greatest threat to progress is our susceptibility to the charms of the Great Pretender. And there’s an emphasis on the word ‘pretend’. Earlier this year, Keir Starmer called out Johnson and pushed for his resignation simply because the latter was under police investigation. This was a prime minister in…
