M-M-M-My Corona
Disquiet is starting to spread regarding the coronavirus and arguably more briskly than the virus itself. You can never be too sure of any kind of data pinging and ponging out of China, and in recent days the number of reported cases and deaths has been throwing shapes like a 50-year-old acid-dropper at a Stone…

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…

Mourning Has Broken
So, they came together to embrace and share their melancholic whimpering. Candlelit vigils and sorrowful pleas to the EU to ‘look after our star’. I read that some of our fugazi centrist politicos have expressed our departure as a national humiliation. Well, it might have been a good idea, it might not have been. But…

We’re Gonna Party Like It’s Nein, Nein, Nein, Nein, Nein!
So, the curtain has now fallen on our full membership of the EU though we will of course be tied to the lumbering monolith for a while yet. Make that forever because leaving will change little of substance. Too much money involved which is of course what it’s all about. Wheelbarrows of it. The final…

Any Change, Guv..?
So, the run-up to Brexit Day has begun and we are now locked in an informal dispute over a coin. Yes, forget all the hullabalo over post-Brexit trade deals, citizens’ rights, and economic downturns, the UK has got something more pressing to bottom out. Yes, we’re currently all getting bent out of shape over the…

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. A lot of that stems from the seemingly incessant, gastric gassing of the politically correct underbelly of UK society. People are afraid to engage on challenging topics for fear of causing offence. Being offended…

EU Never Know…
In case anybody had forgotten, it’s about a week to go until Brexit. Or Bregg-zit, as Tony Blair would say. It wasn’t that long ago that we couldn’t go for ten minutes before the subject of the impending Euro-divorce gate-crashed the conversation like a Burberried community service delegate looking for ‘Steve’. Leave and Remain is…

On a Bicycle Made for Two
So, in Russia, Mr Putin has pulled a surprise rabbit out of his Ushanka and hailed the end of the so-called Tandemocracy. That’s a weird term for the arrangement, but I am certainly not one for smears whether they relate to character, a cervix, or a doorknob. We had a similar high-profile arrangement in the…

Hmmm…What Does This Button Do..?
A jet being blown out of the sky by a missile. A few hundred passengers instantaneously fragmented. You probably wondered whether the recent tragedy in the skies above Iran was an accident or deliberate. Well it turns out that the act of firing was deliberate but the assessment of the situation prior to the press…

For Fox Sake…
Well, my Boxing Day was relatively quiet – just how I like it. Though not everybody could say the same. Prominent Remain lawyer Jo Maugham QC was out in his back garden, too-small-satin-kimono-clad, duly dispatching a wild fox that had strayed into his chicken complex (no pun intended). As per the current penchant for microblogging,…
