Forever Green
‘Territorial integrity and sovereignty are fundamental principles of international law’. So stated Slursula von der Liar after Trump’s tariff threat over Greenland. I thought the EU had deemed sovereignty an outdated concept? How wrong we all must have been during the referendum. Lest we forget, one of the EU’s go-to strategies has long since been…

It’s been quite a week for air incidents. 241 people died in an Air India crash with just one escaping with their life. There would have been more survivors if not so many passengers had been hanging off the outside of the giant metal bird when it careered into a nearby slum. There were warnings…

Tariffic
I’m lamentably old enough to remember when our Eurochums flipped into Brexit attack mode and held that tariffs were a reasonable big stick with which the 27-state EU might threaten a solitary UK. Remember all that crud about the EU 27 acting as one in an unbreakable bond? Yes, that federal façade. Now they’ve been…

The Piper
He who pays the piper, calls the tune. For the Ukraine, that means the US will be calling the shots in peace talks. That’s come as a shock to the bloke who is the most enthusiastic piper in Eastern Europe. President Zelensky has spent the last 3 years or so travelling the globe begging for…

Bully Beef Curtains
Apparently, a guy called Navalny has died in a Russian prison. He might have choked on a Chicken McNugget while fooling about on his Playstation, for all we know. Meanwhile, at the time of writing, attacks on Gaza have killed at least 28,775 Palestinians and wounded 68,552 since October 7 2023. What with all this Eurocentric media…

Scobie Don’t!
Hallelujah! T’is the season of gaslighting! Spunk sponge Omid Scobie has been probing the shallow waters of incredulity in suggesting that a mistranslation of his book led to the unmasking of the ‘royal racist’. Around the globe, translators are flummoxed because they’ve spent a lifetime translating verbs, nouns, adjectives, and other units of language that…

Them Apples
Slur Keith Starmer is now determined to treat people smugglers on a par with terrorists. Bravo. I’m not sure whether that means he’s going to be launching missiles onto the channel dinghies or putting ISIS warlords up in taxpayer-funded, plush hotel accommodation in Kent. Don’t expect Inaction Man to provide any clarification soon. Amazingly, Donkey…

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…

UK Reign
As the populace of the UK celebrates the 70-year reign of HM Queen Elizabeth II, Übertit Voldamort Zelensky is desperately clinging to his 100 days of fame. He’s overshot the Warhol allowance, that’s for sure. Mate, nobody gives a toss. Yes, all the usual suspects donned your wanky blue-and-yellow ribbons when the invasion was garnering…

Fine By Us
Not sure what the furore is about the fixed-penalty notices handed out to the faker and the fakir. Surely there had long since been a shedload of evidence for this cabal’s defenestration before some thick-as-mince plod went down the FPN route for attendance at some office drinkies? Imagine everybody going mental if Hitler had picked…
