Hunger Games
A couple of the Palestinian Action hunger strikers have paused their action and will now resume their starvation bonanza in the new year. The Government was apparently ‘letting them die’. What a load of tepid, limp performative gasshiteing. And when Greta slithers in, with her Tintin-book orbs and her mong placard, you know it’s gone…

Greta Garble
Don’t look away – Greta’s back. We’d all rather hoped she’d discovered rough cider and cock by now – perhaps even grunted out a spazzer or three – but no, the slacktivist gravy train – or rather the gravy boat – is still chugging. That’s in both the ‘moving slowly making muffled explosive sounds’ and…

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…

Co-Pout
After ‘Trolley’s’ woeful performance at the equally abysmal COP26, we might be justified in lamenting the failure of our Government to set the shining example to the nation that their position demands. I beg to differ. Were they a shining beacon of excellence, we might mark them out as being more hypocritical than they are.…

In the hours following the US Inauguration pomp and ceremony, CNN triumphally announced that Amanda Gorman had ‘… reminded America of what poetry can do’. Well, indirectly at least. Absolutely nothing. We had just watched the world’s most powerful nation saved from the brink of implosion, and once again, aspirations masquerading as values had heralded…

Jolly Rogered
I probably should just wash my hands of the whole coronavirus business. We’ve become engulfed by viral hysteria to the extent that the nation has misplaced its rational compass. Let’s hope common sense kicks in before we do ourselves some serious damage. And by that, I mean crippling economic carnage long after the last coughs…

For the Greta Good
Greta Thunberg spoke at a 30,000-strong rally in Bristol last week, which was great for all the kids who bunked off school to attend. Not so great however for the luxuriant lawns of the city’s College Green that were churned into a e-coli-bearing mud bath to rival the Glastonbury festival. And make no mistake, they’ll…

Plane Speaking
Heathrow has become carbon neutral in emissions. Take a moment to allow that assertion to slink around the grey matter. It’s colossal. There’s a nailed-on Nobel Prize for someone, right there. There’s got to be a Physics or Chemistry element, but in all sincerity, this one is such a biggie that a new category beckons.…
