Bad Actors
On the first anniversary of the war in the Ukraine, it’s worth reflecting on how much this squabble has warped perceptions and skewered objectivity. While reporting on Putin’s rally, a reporter from Sky News categorically stated that the Donbas region was part of the Ukraine and not Russia, which although a valid opinion is hardly…

Hard-On
It seems to be a trend in all Labour parties across the Anglophone sphere to pack out the ranks with cronyist dynasty droids, blather on about social democracy, and rake in the cash. Now that Cindy Hardon has been sussed – although handing over slices of de facto sovereignty to Beijing can’t have endeared her…

Cock Blocking
Hold my lippie, sanity has indeed prevailed. Yes, Scottish geezers are still free to cosplay north of the border with their gender recognition certificates even if what they’re holding in the one hand is as scarcely convincing as the big ole hairy balls they have in the other. After all, we are all free to…

Here We Go, Here We Go, Here We Go…(Again)
No sooner had Lionel Messi hoisted the World Cup aloft, Gareth Southgate had indirectly confirmed that it would be another four years before England had the faintest hope of collecting a major gong. It all rather summed up where not just football is but where we all are in general. Messi, arguably the greatest player…

A Man Walks Into a Bra…
Just as the trans agenda burps up a social shield for gender-benders, door Matt Hancock has discovered the plan B fallback of every me-me-me charlatan – the hidden disability. Yes, the big cock has squeezed out his personal cheese – he’s dyslexic. While the public was poised to slate him for being as thick as…

Indian Giver
So, there we have it: Rishi Sunak is the new prime minister. He is not of course the UK’s first ethnic minority PM – that honour went to Disraeli who was top Jew before top dude. As for what the bijou berk might bring, he’s screams stability only via his personal low centre of gravity.…

‘F*ck…’
The greatest challenge to mocking this current government is that real life has trumped satire. Even when Crazy Kwasi was being hailed back from the US to meet his fate, the airline moved him out of business into economy and performed one final U-turn before landing. Ultimately, a guy whose first national exposure was as…

Kwasi Little Thing Called Gov
It’s been a grim couple of weeks here in UK with the passing of The Queen. We’ve been celebrating the life of a consummate professional devoted to public service, which to be fair is something of a culture shock. And nobody has captured the disposition of this Conservative Government better than Kwasi Kwarteng. Well, we’re…

Truss Issues
Back in the day, to truss meant to tie up the wings and legs of (a chicken or other bird) before cooking. The prey got trussed before it got stuffed. And now, life imitates art, as they say. Therese Coffey, her of the Savile cigar and fist-screwed glass, is the new Health Secretary. I’ll wager…

Home to Roost
It’s been a week of chickens coming home to roost. Salman Rushdie has probably realised that no matter what your haughty principles are, sometimes it’s wise to be just a tad pragmatic. He wrote a book to provoke a reaction, and it worked. He slated Islam and motivated 1.9bn Muslims, one of whom was bound…
