The Coronavirus Act
HRH Prince Charles has tested positive for COVID-19 which was certainly not the coronation he’d been anticipating. He is now self-isolating – and separately from his wife who has tested negative. In marital terms, he’s slid in on his knees towards the corner flag with his shirt over his head. That’ll be 2 weeks off…

Barbie Queues
Hot on the heels of my recent concerns about the surrender of rights comes a story from Coventry where a 20-strong barbecue was dispersed by police whose decisive stroke was to overturn the barbie with a sharp dig to the ribs (crispy pork, of course). Perhaps they’d heard that the burgers needed flipping? Now, if…

Follow My Leader
So, we’re now about to go into a lockdown of sorts. I say about to because in spite of the PM’s instruction yesterday, it’s not yet law and cannot be enforced. Of course, there are powers to allow the detention of infectious people, but not simply to remove anyone from the streets who fails to…

I could understand it if he’d been dumped on for peddling powdered rhino dick, but from his perspective he was on a determined course to adhere to the Hippocratic oath. Sadly, he has shuffled off his mortal coil,…

For Fox Sake…
Well, my Boxing Day was relatively quiet – just how I like it. Though not everybody could say the same. Prominent Remain lawyer Jo Maugham QC was out in his back garden, too-small-satin-kimono-clad, duly dispatching a wild fox that had strayed into his chicken complex (no pun intended). As per the current penchant for microblogging,…

Let’s Snip It in the Bud…
The author JK Rowling has been lambasted for tweeting a message of support for somebody who has lost an employment tribunal, in which they failed to secure legal protection for their support of the position that ‘sex is real’ and therefore cannot be changed. The Twatosphere has gone into meltdown. People cannot contain themselves. But…
