No Kneed
This week, some footballers ‘took the knee’ and people in the crowd booed. The sweet FA is apparently investigating and has ‘asked both clubs for their observations’. Here’s my observation for the FA grandees – they should start dealing with the nailed-on cases of racism that they routinely bottle rather than pandering to high-profile, super-woke…

Strong Harmed
It is not just resistant chauvinists who are spiking the guns of the drive for gender equality. Nor is it the wandering band of fake-woke rogues who slyly adopt the rhetoric of fairness but continue to act to shore up its ingrained structures. There is another band of self-interested twisters who are gorging at the…

Many others are pretending to be shocked and upset and demonstrate this through a cascade of sanctimonious dogpiling onto whomever they can link with the event. Some press outlets…

Come and Visit Wokey Hell
We’ve all become just a little more self-righteous. The edge has been taken off what we say and what we do. A lot of that stems from the seemingly incessant, gastric gassing of the politically correct underbelly of UK society. People are afraid to engage on challenging topics for fear of causing offence. Being offended…

A Dogma is for Life…
Christmas is coming and the goose is getting fat. And there’re only one goose in the charlatan realm, and that’s the charlatan goose. But it’s the one time of year when charitable sentiment is front and centre, and all the reprobates have to don their metaphorical Santa suits and indulge in a little goodwill to…
