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…

‘While You’re Down There, Keir…’
Was there ever an image that encapsulated the essence of Starmer quite like this? He’s the kind of bully who gets off on punching down and then folds when faced with someone with a bit more clout. Apparently, a pro-Palestinian pressure group has broken into an RAF base and zipped around on e-scooters, spraying red…

Accrual World
According to mainstream social philosophies, taxation is justified as a necessary mechanism to maintain order, promote economic efficiency, and ensure a fair and functional society. That all seems reasonable, even if we’d rather be trousering our wages gross. The essential premise is however much more simplistic than those high ideals. Getting down to brass tacks,…

Sure Thing, Muskie!
The issue with any debate about grooming – or to be precise – rape gangs is that everyone focuses on a profile of the perpetrators. Particularly when it suits their agenda. Talk about looking down the wrong end of the telescope. A fact about crime, and this applies as equally to perving as it does…

Tyson Fury
Wowsers! I’ve not seen anybody beaten about the ring so badly since Jimmy Savile zipwired into the main dorm at Haut de la Garenne children’s home with salivated cable ties gripped in his yellowing teeth. However, while the commentariat screeches about trashed legacies, they are omitting to consider the erstwhile pugilist Tyson’s penchant for hoofing…

Orangey Tang
I’m not big on US politics, but it seems odd that hordes of woke Democrat celebrities are popping up with their shrill warnings about Trump but never made a squeak about Diddy. Well, actually, it’s not odd at all. People will hijack whatever argument serves their objectives, and will sit on whatever suits their best…

Fingered
The least surprising bumshell of the week has been that a gazillionaire has been outed as a handsy turd who abused his position to exploit others. Who’d have thunk it? Those who should be on trial now are the gang slithering out of the woodwork to tell us that they knew about it all along.…

For those of you who were desperate to see the back of the worst Government in living memory, it must have felt like being given the all-clear from your cancer specialist, only to be told you’ve got AIDS. There was no better microcosm of this short-lived joy than in Bristol Central, where self-appointed queen of…

Safegate
‘We don’t have a replacement for Kalvin Phillips’. Let that sink in for a moment. Gareth Southgate has a team that should be bubbling with the Bundesliga top scorer, the season’s outstanding player in La Liga, and a fresh dollop of Premiership cream. And yet, he is bamboozled by the challenge of replacing a player…

General Erections
We’re a fortnight or so into the General Election campaign, and frankly it’s not pretty – unless pretty boring counts. Slippery Sunake has slithered from gaffe to gaffe, and the latest D-Day debacle has surely sealed his fate. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Tories ditched him mid-campaign in a coup d’étwat. As for Slur…
