Shit Stabber
I was, to be fair, agog at the synagogue and what unfolded in Manchester yesterday. Of course, there will a busload of performative bullshit from the Manchester clubs in the Premier League this weekend. Probably black armbands and some applause in the 66,000th minute to remember the Gazans who’ve lost their lives in the current…

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…

Two-Bob
I’m old enough to remember Eric Djemba-Djemba, Boutros Boutros-Ghali and Neville Neville, so unimaginative names just don’t do it for me. The two Bob Vylans, a weird wrapper for a pair of two-bob rappers, lived up to the hyperdross. They are cack, but everybody gets their fifteen minutes of fame, and they duly unloaded onto…

Jewbilant
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…

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…

Demon Strays
Another day, another protest. Is this a functioning country or a students’ union? Sometimes, it’s hard to tell. Now, I don’t have any allegience in respect of this Israel-Hamas dust-up. It’s all tragic, but I don’t really give a toss. And let’s be honest, who really does? But what is this pro-Palestinian protest going to…

Stop the Ride
Oh dear – the chickens are coming home to roost for Slur Keir. He had previously latched onto the antisemitism gig in order to defenestrate Jezza, and now finds he’s mounted the wrong horse. If only the king of cardboard could argue that criticism of Israel is not antisemitism…. Bummer. That’s what happens to people…

Proud
Well, it’s all kicking off, and the current world situation has been described as ‘one of the most dangerous periods in world history’. News outlets speak of Israeli ‘retaliation’, but is that true? A wider perspective might flip that. The incursion into Southern Israel could well be seen by others as the retaliation for years…

Every Cloud
Every cement-dust cloud has a silver lining, and that is arguably the case for Jeremy Corbyn this week. For many years, he has lived under the intangible spectre of antisemitism allegations and to this day remains suspended by the Labour Party for that very reason. Of course, anybody with a scintilla of cerebral vim must…

Ooh, Ooh – The Israelites
It looks like the handbags are out in the Middle East in a simmering conflict that is going to go on and on until the planet finally overheats and dies. Predictably, Israel is the object of international condemnation for its ‘disproportionate’ response to Hamas rocket attacks. The logic seems weird: the Palestinians are going to…
