Not a Jot
RIP Diogo Jota. Let’s hope that his loved ones can now process this loss and rebuild their lives the best they can. What a shame that performative mourning didn’t roll over and go woof like the Lambo. It’s always a goulish charade, but the scum and social media hacks just can’t help themselves. The storm…

Two-Bob
I’m old enough to remember Eric Djemba-Djemba, Boutros Boutros-Ghali and Neville Neville, so unimaginative names just don’t do it for me. The two Bob Vylans, a weird wrapper for a pair of two-bob rappers, lived up to the hyperdross. They are cack, but everybody gets their fifteen minutes of fame, and they duly unloaded onto…

‘While You’re Down There, Keir…’
Was there ever an image that encapsulated the essence of Starmer quite like this? He’s the kind of bully who gets off on punching down and then folds when faced with someone with a bit more clout. Apparently, a pro-Palestinian pressure group has broken into an RAF base and zipped around on e-scooters, spraying red…

Jewbilant
It’s been quite a week for air incidents. 241 people died in an Air India crash with just one escaping with their life. There would have been more survivors if not so many passengers had been hanging off the outside of the giant metal bird when it careered into a nearby slum. There were warnings…

Bitter X
It took all of 136 days, but the Trump-Musk bromance finally imploded. It was never not going to happen. Billionaires are in it not just for the billions but for their billions. Having been shat out of Donald’s inner circle with only a golden key to show for it, Elon looks likely to spill the…

Stepping Back
So, Gary Lineker is on his way out of the BBC. It was indeed a stretch to see how somebody so clear about the Tories’ language of the 1930s was oblivious to the rat symbolism used by the Nazis during the same era. He apparently never saw the offending emoji in the post he shared,…

Pope on a Rope
I find the whole papal election gig fascinating and weird in equal measure. It’s a ritual punctuated by traditional habits, but nun are worth mentioning. Apart from perhaps the hysteria that follows the appearance of white smoke. It’s not as if the world stops spinning on its axis during the interregnum. At some stage, a…

Pope Music
RIP Pope Francis – bad timing, though. If he’d had his ticket punched three days earlier, he might still be with us. He’ll be remembered most for his personal crusade to save the poor, but I’m having nun of it. That was always a bit rich from the steward of the largest art and antiques…

The Schlong Arm of the Law
Well, that ruling from the UK Supreme Court was a real kick in the balls for all those shemales, who today felt the schlong arm of the law. The judges stepped it up a gear, and that was the end of the trans mission. For those discerning folk quite content to respect the decision of hairy-arsed…

Tariffic
I’m lamentably old enough to remember when our Eurochums flipped into Brexit attack mode and held that tariffs were a reasonable big stick with which the 27-state EU might threaten a solitary UK. Remember all that crud about the EU 27 acting as one in an unbreakable bond? Yes, that federal façade. Now they’ve been…
