Bream On
While no fan of the rubber bath toy at all, his ‘I have a bream’ speech was a masterclass in hooking the usual gang of wet, flaccid Euromelts and consigning them to the Tory keepnet. Comparing the Ukrainian resistance to the Brexiter push for freedom was a jolly jape that perfectly piqued all the posturing…

All Aboard!
Ever wondered what happened to the Black Lives Matter/trans rights/pride/me too/disability advocate/COVID extremist/Remainiac tools? Yep – they’re all ‘standing with Ukraine’. If they truly were, they’d be on a plane to Poland or Moldova, crossing the border, snatching up a rifle, and getting busy. Even Kerry Katona has issued a warning to Putin. Let’s hope…

Casino
With Mr Putin recognising the republics of Donetsk and Luhansk, every limp foghorn in the crass commentariat has been quick to point to the ‘Kremlin playbook’, as if they’re diplomatic svengalis. Yet, in truth this kind of land-grab is a favoured standby for every regime with a penchant for expansionism. Hitler did it in the…

Unsquared Circles
Hardly unpredictably, ‘Frosty the No Man’ became ‘Frosty the Go Man’, as Lord Frost departed the Cabinet. Notwithstanding the mystery of how he got in there in the first place – he is after all not even an MP – he belatedly discovered the crystal-clear truth that nobody can comfortably square the Brexit circle. The…

You Spin Me Right Round, Baby, Right Round…
There’s been a whole load of insufferable sluice spouted about migrants and accociated channel-bobbing high jinks this week. Apparently, everybody is to blame apart from the inveterate morons who stumped up £4k apiece for a boat to hell. Closing down legal access to a country by making it more difficult to claim asylum through legitimate…

In Plain Sight
It’s time to talk about hate. ‘Hate’ is after all an intense dislike of something, which is not tempered by any recognition of a counterbalance. Of course, in popular usage, the descriptor of ’hate speech’ is typically applied to the unhinged musings of religious fanatics and right-wing nut jobs. It has however for sometime slipped…

Coming Home To Roost
The UK Government has been taking a public beating recently for reneging on the Withdrawal Agreement, but perhaps for once this is not quite what it seems. I recall reading a fascinating paper – written by a hardcore feminist – that railed against the ‘No means no’ mantra. Her argument was a cogent one. If…

The Same Game
You’d have to have a heart of stone not laugh at the current Brussels pantomime, and we’re not yet even in the run-up to Christmas. The anglosphere has converged to squeeze France out of a $90bn submarine contract, and French indignation is, well, ripe. Strangely, there seems to be no sign of smug Europhiles gleefully…

Radical, New Triumph
These are challenging times for Guy Verhofstwat and all the rabid, butthurt EU fruitcakes after Emma Raducanu’s US Open win. They’re all stuck between the rock of wanting to claim 50% of the title in the EU’s name and the hard place of their hatred for the China and the UK. Momma said there would…

Bob-Bob-Bobbing Along
Migrants are once again sticking their oar in, and politicians and commentators are rowing in the wrong direction. The row this time is about UK Border Force plans to block passage and push them back to France. Sounds pretty reasonable to me. If I go steaming into a shop to rob it, I’ll expect to…
