Let’s Get (Insert Here) Done
Another day, another period of torment as a citizen of the UK. Following yet another terrorist attack committed by a released offender, the fingers are once again being pointed by people who haven’t yet realised that delayed release would only have meant a delayed attack. For a solution to the problem, I could just draw…

Come and Visit Wokey Hell
We’ve all become just a little more self-righteous. The edge has been taken off what we say and what we do.

Let’s Eat, Grandma…

English grammar. Now, I’ve always been somewhat a stickler for grammatical rules. And I’ve previously written in an…

Let’s Snip It in the Bud…
The author JK Rowling has been lambasted for tweeting a message of support for somebody who has lost an employment tribunal, in which they failed to secure legal protection for their support of the position that ‘sex is real’ and therefore cannot be changed. The Twatosphere has gone into meltdown. People cannot contain themselves. But…

A Crisis of Competence
As the dust begins to settle, both Labour and Liberal Democrat parties in the UK are contemplating their imminent leadership changes. So, you can well imagine an army of potential superstars waiting in the wings, right? Wrong. There is of course no dearth of volunteers for both posts, though both parties are afflicted by a…
