Orangey Tang
I’m not big on US politics, but it seems odd that hordes of woke Democrat celebrities are popping up with their shrill warnings about Trump but never made a squeak about Diddy. Well, actually, it’s not odd at all. People will hijack whatever argument serves their objectives, and will sit on whatever suits their best…

No Payne, No Gain
RIP Liam Payne. Not sure who he was, but if you get off on blowing out on booze and drugs and start kicking off in a South American hotel, it’s only going in one direction. The argy-bargy 10-pointer over the balcony was probably his biggest hit and had Simone Biles nodding in appreciative envy. Shame,…

Cleverly Done
I laughed so much, a little bit of wee came out. Stratospheric frontrunner James Cleverly lent votes for a carve-up and ended up rogered and out. Apparently, he was so blasé about a thumping victory, he frittered away the death throes of his candidacy at Boris Johnson’s book launch rather than canvassing on the final furlong…

Fingered
The least surprising bumshell of the week has been that a gazillionaire has been outed as a handsy turd who abused his position to exploit others. Who’d have thunk it? Those who should be on trial now are the gang slithering out of the woodwork to tell us that they knew about it all along.…

Up In Smoke
The family of Rebecca Cheptegei has decided to have her buried. After all, the cremation did come first, courtesy of old flame Dickson Ndiema. There’s a joke in there screaming to get out, possibly relating to penises and bloated legs, but it will probably die of multiple organ failure before the first gargled giggle. It might…

A Right Result
While appearances can be deceptive, footage of Lucy Letby’s arrest seemed to reflect a completely befuddled ‘girl next door’ confounded by the sudden influx of paramilitaries into her home. Yes, some murderous psychos are obviously expert actors, just as ‘you can tell are manifestly guilty just by looking at them’. And that’s why I won’t…

Flaccid Jenas
Well, that was a spunky twenty-four hours for Jermaine Jenas. He’s pirouetted from a pugilistic ‘I can tell you I’m not happy – there are two sides to every story – and I’m going to be speaking with my lawyers on the issue’ to a pusillanimous ‘I am ashamed, and I am deeply sorry’. He…

It’s an Unfair Cop
You don’t need to be Jack Regan to know that nicking street dealers doesn’t quash a drug epidemic. That’s picking the low-hanging fruit and boosting arrest statistics, Guv’nor. Lazy coppering provides the flagging flatfoots with a rare opportunity to appear remotely competent at the expense of UK society dropping one notch to a par with 1973…

If You Can’t Stand the Heat…
Truly perturbing scenes at the Olympics after a female Italian boxer quit forty-six seconds into her bout after being whacked in the face. That must have come as a shock to women all over Italy who generally brave that shit out for forty-six years. That punch in the kisser was always when Mike Tyson said the…

Earshot
I’ve so far resisted the temptation to comment on the US election, but whatever your views on Trump, he’s got to be a shoo-in for anyone within earshot. In recent weeks, Mr Bjden has introduced President Zelensky as ‘President Putin, referred to Kamala Harris as ‘Vice President Trump’, and failed to recognise a buddy of…
