Accrual World
According to mainstream social philosophies, taxation is justified as a necessary mechanism to maintain order, promote economic efficiency, and ensure a fair and functional society. That all seems reasonable, even if we’d rather be trousering our wages gross. The essential premise is however much more simplistic than those high ideals. Getting down to brass tacks,…

Tone Death
The assisted dying rigmarole has served one purpose: it facilitated an opportunity for rehabilitation for all those careerist, shitehawk MPs to demonstrate that they are sensitive to meaningful social issues rather than being obsessed with the masturbatory obsession with endless wonga. So, they diarised a five-hour debate to explore a defining moment in the nation’s…

Tyson Fury
Wowsers! I’ve not seen anybody beaten about the ring so badly since Jimmy Savile zipwired into the main dorm at Haut de la Garenne children’s home with salivated cable ties gripped in his yellowing teeth. However, while the commentariat screeches about trashed legacies, they are omitting to consider the erstwhile pugilist Tyson’s penchant for hoofing…

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…

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…

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…

For those of you who were desperate to see the back of the worst Government in living memory, it must have felt like being given the all-clear from your cancer specialist, only to be told you’ve got AIDS. There was no better microcosm of this short-lived joy than in Bristol Central, where self-appointed queen of…

Safegate
‘We don’t have a replacement for Kalvin Phillips’. Let that sink in for a moment. Gareth Southgate has a team that should be bubbling with the Bundesliga top scorer, the season’s outstanding player in La Liga, and a fresh dollop of Premiership cream. And yet, he is bamboozled by the challenge of replacing a player…

General Erections
We’re a fortnight or so into the General Election campaign, and frankly it’s not pretty – unless pretty boring counts. Slippery Sunake has slithered from gaffe to gaffe, and the latest D-Day debacle has surely sealed his fate. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Tories ditched him mid-campaign in a coup d’étwat. As for Slur…

Confidence Trick
Chaos reigns in the parallel universe of UK Politics. Hard-right loon Natalie Hellfucke has defected to Labour. Not only that, but Sir Drear has been parading her centre-stage. Not sure what the fuss is all about, though? It’s hardly a surprise that Starmer, a man who has no evident political compass, is a ruthless and…
