Just so you know

A “curbside” pick-up is “kerbside” in the Yew Kay, Mr. Gooble. And despite the persistent TV advertising campaign, I still don’t feel keen to visit Covid PC World.

No crystal ball?

I have to agree with that comment about Mr. Forte of the hotel industry, who is upset by the impact the foreign travel ban is having on his business. It would have been a good idea to pick a trade which doesn’t fall over the moment a pandemic kicks its ankle!

Off the mark

Crossword clue: portable laptop computers (9). But aren’t they all portable as one of their properties? [notebooks]

Include me out

“Diana: The Interview That Shocked The World” on 5Star. Didn’t shock me ’coz I didn’t watch it. Like lots of other sensible people. Who didn’t watch it again.

Good idea, bad idea

Typo in Friday’s paper: overhwelmed. Attention-grabbing and I think I prefer it to the authorized version. But not the peculiar line-end hyphenation which created warf-
ighting. Proof reader’s day off?

Get over it

It’s about time the cliché ‘postcode lottery’ was dumped in the recycling bin. There will always be somewhere that is getting less than everywhere else because people vary and there will always be some who are helpless, hopeless and/or feckless.

Give us a break

Jane Fonda, actress, 83, feels the need to make sex a confession to get attention. Is there a word that combines pathetic and tragic? Or are we going to have to choose between pathagic and tragetic?

Well worth watching

Ducatis zoom! in the MotoGP race; four at the front from the start. And a crash in the first few seconds. No Marc Marquez, no Honda in contention. Tyres were the big worry for the Ducatis and it was Viñales on a Yamaha who had the last laugh.

Something to cheer

The Moto2 guys stayed on the track, like they do, under the night-time floodlights until well into the race. Sam Lowes was @ the front, and he stayed there.
    Keep off the green stuff, Sam! And he did for a British win.

Be not available!

Lots about scammers in Sunday’s paper. Not having a mobile phone seems to be a sound strategy for avoiding most of them.

The bikers are back

How to make yourself popular with your MotoGP team @ the start of a new season: crash on the first lap of the Moto3 race. 2 volunteers for the naughty step.
    Curse of the commentator: British hope McPhee was clattered out by an idiot rookie when the comms were telling us how experienced he is!

There’s a good one!

I was doing a search on eBay and I had a look at an item which ‘matched with fewer words’. It was described as a signed and framed landscape. But when you do a bit more digging, you find the information “Signed Indistinctly”. Which is a whole heap of help!!

Real weirdos

You have to be a really strange person to go rioting naked in Bristol. But cold weather never seems to put off the dedicated exhibitionist.

Another silly story

The government is sneaking DNA samples from the reply envelopes of Luddites who asked for a printed census form instead of doing it online.

Terrify the customers?

Do something about reptile dysfunction, the numan advert orders. Picture of a bloke with a chainsaw! That’s a bit bloody drastic as an alternative!

Another chance to avoid

A film called The Shape of Water. Water doesn’t have a shape, except in zero gravity, where it forms a boring sphere. Daft idea for a film title.

Late-nite fodder

Patrick Stewart, a.k.a. Captain Picard of the TNG Enterprise, plays the leader of a gang of skin ’eads in a thriller film. Sounds like grievous type-casting!

You gotta laugh

The EU busted a factory in Italy, expecting to find millions of doses of Chinese plague vaccine which AstraZeneca was hoping to sneak to the UK.
    But all the vaccine there turned out to be for UN projects or EU countries. And to make things even worse, an Italian newspaper splashed the story and kept attention on the EU’s vaccine rollout flop.

Newspeak

“X is being quite Meghan about this” is proving to be a very useful phrase or saying.

Crossword clue

The Queen’s electrical resistance (4) Answer: OHMS
    Please yourselves!

Afterthought

The TNG episode concerned (S5, E20) included an asteroid field, which was just about a solid wall of round blobs of rock. My technical expert worked out that if the disc stretched all the way round the star, there would be enough bits to make eight to ten thousand planets out of it!!

Weird concept

There was a NatWest ad during last night’s TNG episode which, with the sound muted, seemed to be telling me that it’s the bank for BIG black couch potatoes and destructive black men with a sledge hammer.
    So not me!

Anodyne American TV

What is it on the Syfy Channel which is totally inoffensive and needs no warnings about being for grown-ups only? The Next Generation of Star Trek.
    Except when Mrs. Troi (a.k.a. Mrs. Roddenberry) crashes on to the Enterprise. There should definitely be a warning to allow potential viewers to run and hide in a bunker.

The road to the Arnoldator!

Just think, the nuclear war from the Terminator films could be starting anytime soon. What will trigger it? My money is on someone taking exception to the global plague they started and blasting Peking.

Not to so good move!

After tonight, the bullshit comes to an end, we were promised on RAW. But if they do that, their programmes will consist of just long periods of a blank screen interspersed with adverts!

More one-way streeting

A woman was going on about personal freedom in the paper; her mother (82) couldn’t get a hairdresser’s appointment because she had refused to be vaccinated against the Chinese plague.
    The hairdresser’s personal freedom evidently doesn’t count.

Good move

The VEINS bloke on RAW is reduced to being a comedy stooge for Alexa and her cartoon Fiend? Fair enough. Maybe they could do the same with that jerk Rollins, who is also mega-tedious.

 

Some small difficulty with the word comic

What’s the justification for showing the violent crime drama Daredevil on the Comedy Central channel? He’s a comic book character!
    Watched the film, not much to laugh at in it.

Fleeting anguish

Page 1, PM Boris looking anguished – continued on page 6 because it’s back to the Haz ‘n’ Maz crap on pages 2 & 3.
    So nothing to worry about?

Another Xing failure

Karate expert (3). Whilst some of them might be called Dan, this is the Japanese for grade – first dan, second dan, etc.
    And it is also possible for karate experts to be called Den or Don.

Inclusives, inclusives, inclusives

“None of us can forget” newspaper columnists casually throw away about things I haven’t come across. Likewise: “national outrage” is triggered over things that pass me by.
    Maybe I should play the victim card and demand that they stop pretending I’m a non-person if I stay off their whingewagons.
    Or maybe I should just be British and rise above it all.

Fair question

FREE AA Road Atlas, the Daily Mail was offering last Saturday. Does it include the route out of lockdown?

Not quite extinct

The Punk Rubber Song doesn’t seem to have sunk in to the oblivion it so richly deserves. It can still be heard in snatches, like the totally naff LV Insurance bloke doing his Dom Diddy Doms.

Not even pass

FOR YOUR INFORMATION – nothing else on the screen, no voice-over. Very bloody informative.

No sale

Find the rogues in your past? And, no doubt, pay for the privilege. No thanks. I have lots of better things to do.

Pass

What incentive is there to watch a remake of Ag Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express featuring the painful K. Branaargh with a totally stoooopid mustache? Absolutely none.

The world is saved!

Some agricultural genius has worked out that feeding seaweed to cows reduces the amount of greenhouse methane they expel and we will still be able to enjoy beef & dairy products in the pretending-to-be-carbon-free future.
    As long as the cows will eat their seaweed . . .

Continuity is King?

Falls over in amazement. A programme on ITV 1 last night that wasn't a repeat. In fact, a pre-repeat episode of Midsomer Murder with bees. Now, I’m trying to decide if it’s reassuring that Midsomer is still full of homicidal hissy twonks.

Three hours I won’t get back

Batman vs the Man of Soup? My money would be on the alien migrant every time, even if Lex Luthor is on Batty’s side. The f*uck is going on? was my reaction to the start of this 2016 film. It’s prolly explained on the interweb but Knut B. bothered to look.
    Homme de Bat, Homme de Bat,
    What a hissy, creepy twat!

Job Gone

If it were a rule of The Universe that nothing can ever go extinct, we’d not be able to move for dinosaurs and the smallpox virus would still be around.
    Thus the warnings that Scotland’s mountain hares are going extinct due to climate change; even though there’s not enough known about them to know this; appears to be more about the people who make a living out of them going extinct rather than anything else.

Not worth the effort

Some is actually asking if there were PoW camps for Japanese prisoners! I’m tempted to write in and say: ‘No, they were just shot immediately to save time & trouble’. But I doubt it will be published.

Not Impressed

If you stick a CLIMATE CHANGE slogan at the front of your TV ad, everyone will think you’re virtuous and buy your stuff, even if it’s flat-pack furniture.
    What mugs they think we are if they think we’ll fall for that!

Non-starter

Maybe it’s just me but I can’t see myself ever being B&F enuff to need to go to my friendly neighbourhood farm to cuddle a cow.

It’s another world

Spicy Indian dish (5) But isn’t Balti something concocted here in the Midlands rather than in India?

Big Issue

If you’re feeling a bit bored and fed up, do you have a mental health issue? Or are you just feeling a bit B&F?

Another no sale

Crossword clue: much less (3,5). Answer: let alone.
    Nope.

Cute, but no sale

“Helping The Planet one bite at a time”, sez the Quorn ad. Which is total BS. The Planet doesn’t give a rat’s arse about what the creatures on it do. Which tells us all we need to know about this company’s ethics and relationship with real truth.

Back on One-Way Street

If the beneficiaries of diversity have human rights, so do the people who prefer to be with others who look like them and have the same general life experience – just like minorities.
    Strange no one ever reminds us of this when the diversifiers are ranting. And strange that the diversifiers never go among colonies of incomers and order them to disperse.

Laptop blues

Quick! Shut it down to stop the cat walking across the keyboard again and causing havoc this time. Damn! It’s installing updates and telling me not to switch it off.

Paper vs plastic

If you have a row of books published in the 1990s, you can read them again and get more value from them. If you have a row of cover disks from 1990s PC magazines, they’re just coasters and too many to be of any use.
    So much for progress.

Keep schtum if it’s tripe

“Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat for it is momentary” Mahatmacoat Gandhi is reported as saying. A victory like the one won over Nazi Germany by violence in 1945?
    Also, it’s also a good idea to keep schtum if you’re likely to be quoted out of context by some newspaper wag.

Persistent pillocks

Crossword clue: whisky grain (3). Whisky is made with barley malt. Whiskey is made from rye. But try telling that to the dopes who compile X-words!

Backward step

What’s the only good thing you can say about using a phone to look at a website? You’re not likely to get a cat walking across the keyboard and causing havoc. But that in no way makes up for the piss poor screen size.

Retro would be good

Don’t you just long for the Good Old Daze when websites were designed for a decent size monitor rather than the baby screen of a pocket phone?

More botchery

The EU is going to sue the UK in the Euro Court of Justice for extending the light touch on trade between the mainland and Northern Ireland unilaterally because it ‘undermines trust between us’.
    No problem. There is no trust between the UK and the EU so it can’t be undermined. And we no longer recognize the authority of the ECJ, having left the EU, so going there is a waste of time. Which sums up the EU burrocracy perfectly.

Botched job

I watched an episode of The Persuaders the other night (S1, E12). The pictures were great, presumably digitized from tape, but the sound was crap.Terrible shame that they didn’t do a proper job on everything.

De-wonking urgently needed

Nice to see the morons in charge of the National Trust and Kew Gardens being taken to task for their obsession with confecting links between their exhibits and slavery. Shame they can’t find something useful to do.

Life bites bum

The Dame in charge of the Metropolitan police should have been booted out years ago for her crimes against men. How weird that she’s in danger of dismissal because her coppers enforced the law by breaking up a mob of plague-spreading women and didn’t do anything illegal.

Obvious but so what?

“It’s only live once” Sky tells us in its promos for its Formula One coverage. But it looks exactly the same when it’s shown later on Channel 4. Or is it Channel 5?

What’s on elsewhere?

Reasons to avoid Channels 1-5 – programmes about the mental ’elf crisis, adopted triplets, the Chinese plague crisis, weirdos in a flat block who only talk on the internet & small holders in Exmoor National park were in competition for the 9 p.m. slot last night.
    Not much of a refuge from grim reality.

Russia p.s.

Saw that ad again. The prog is on in a prime-time slot on Channel 5 on Friday. No doubt I shall be otherwise occupied.

Mad, bad & not bovvered who knows it

Briefly glimpsed: an advert for a TV programme called Russia vs The World adorned with a picture of Putin the Poisoner looking smug. Which left me wondering if there is enough novichok to go around.

Strictly a one-way street

I’m currently reading a picture book by a Met Office bloke about weather phenomena. It is making me realize that we only ever hear about the Warmist effects of humanity (alleged) on the planet.
    Not a word ever about the cooling effect due to things like sunlight being reflected from aircraft and ship condensation trails, for instance.

This is cobblers!

During a rather dreary TV drama, a woman was challenged over not having a social meeja footprint which the bloke questioning her could detect.
    Is this some sort of legal requirement for citizenship now? And you’re a non-person if you don’t have that footprint?

That would be telling ’em!

Watching an episode of Hannay on Talking Pix, it ocurred to me that the warning message before the programme really ought to have read: “If you can’t handle 20th century TV, kindly drop dead. H.A.R.O.L.D.”

 

Modern history

First World War battle, was the crossword clue. Something, something, something, M, something.
    Alamo?

One or both?

Who’s the slag? A woman who goes to a married Labour peer for help, shags him for a couple of months and shops him when he dumps her? Or the peer for cheating on his wife?

Not much good to me

How much did the fizzy drink tax cut my sugar intake by? 0%. I don’t consume fizzy drinks.

Vague p.s.

Is there such a thing as a grown-up fashion journalist if the trade involves writing tripe about passing fads?

Only Voguely in touch with reality

Many a niggle makes a nuggle, an American fashion magazine would have us believe, leading to the conclusion that all newspapers are ray-sist because they use black ink. So, only the white-on-black block headlines aren’t, one assumes. Or maybe they are, too.
    Things have certainly gone wonky ‘over there’ since Sleepy Joe took over.

Pointless trivia

Do we really need to know that the suspected killer DPG cop’s house is worth 200 grand? What next, details of his fave sandwich?

Gale-force peace

Yesterday was quiet enough to hear the wind howling as well as the clock ticking and the cat snoring.

Initial impact

“Directed by An Overpaid Tool” seen in the opening credits of Deadpool (2016). What could possibly top that during the next couple of hours?

If I ever write a novel . . .

“He was wearing a pair of trousers upon which a somewhat soggy cat could be allowed to perch.” Pretty good opening line.
    What will the book be about? Could be a detective story set a century in the future when the maverick with the cat uncovers the archives revealing that President Trump really  was swindled out of a second term.
    Why wasn’t the evidence destroyed? Because the perps and their descendants have been gloating over it for decades.
    Could work.

Weird & Weirder

Apparently, there’s a fictional detective who uses mediums to solve cold cases. Wot next? A detective who uses String Theory? That’s a divination method involving dropping small, tangled bits of white string on to a red carpet and drawing conclusions from the shapes they make.

Poor Little Stinker

Is she making it up? Well, the biggest fashion of the day is mental ’elf and it’s one small step for an actress to position herself as the biggest elf in the playground.
    Which seems to have done the Piers Morgan ‘notice me’ campaign a power of good.

The pot is only so big

Who is going to lose out if NHS nurses win in with a pay rise of more than 1%? I nominate quangocrats and wonky middle-and upper-management.

Here we go again

Some men commit violence against women. Some women do it to men. One police officer is under suspicion of the kidnap and murder of one woman but this is being taken as an excuse to take a pop at all men.
    Will that achieve anything? No, but it has become the standard response. And blokes who are not psychos are a much safer target.

No ‘or’, definitely dead!

I wonder how many wives of American criminals are now thinking: “If only he could get himself killed resisting arrest if there’s twenty-seven million bucks in it for me.”

p.s.

So, what did I miss @ the beginning of the week by not being in thrall to ITV 1? A lengthy F*ckYoumentary from America’s Queen of Sleaze featuring two spoilt brats, who don’t think Haz’s family worships the ground they deign to tread upon nearly enough.
    Not something I’d miss even a 99th repeat of some Midsomer Murders for.

Don’t read the label

“Crisp wafer biscuit covered in real milk chocolate (47%)”. So that’s 53% crud in it? Because the thin covering of choc is definitely not 47% of the biscuit’s weight.
    Tastes okay, though, Mr. McVitie will be pleased to hear.

A definite Prime Time Crime

Not only doing a 9 p.m. rake-over of the Dunblane school massacre on ITV 1 but also doing the same with the murder of James Bulger on Channel 5 in the same slot. Wunderbar.

The perfect excuse

If anyone asks why I didn’t watch the Prince Hairy & Meghan soap, I can tell them I didn’t know it was on, having given up completely on ITV 1.
    In fact, I can’t remember the last time I watched anything on the main channel, but it has to be years ago. Although I do watch stuff like Hercules Parrot and Midsomer Murders repeats on ITV 3.

Life’s too short

25 pages at the start of Tuesday’s Daily Mail about all the whinges and racial slurs from Prince Haz & missus? Zoom off to see what Garfield is up to instead.
    Still, that has to be this week’s quota of bollocks used up early.

More ears of cloth

Not paying much attention to the TV advert but I seemed to hear: “The UK’s Number One Home Hitler Brand”.
    Wow! The mind boggles.

Something else to leave art

The ‘great smell of Brut’ used to be advertised by famous footballers & boxers on TV. Nah, it’s darn to some Cockney spiv. Dahn the market, or what! Probably something to do with the Chinese plague.

Leave it art!

The Royal Mail click ‘n’ drop is “Postage that fits around you”. Don’t you just wish that if they can’t come up with a decent slogan, they’d choose to give up and not bother?

Others doing it

In Sweden, they haven’t had a lockdown to moan about but that hasn’t stopped the lunatic fringe from taking to the streets to protest against flu vaccines, which cause the Chinese plague, they claim, and 5G phone masks, which also cause plague symptoms.

Going their own way

Well, well! The French are being different from everyone else again. In most countries, it’s the peasants who are suffering most from the Chinese plague. But it’s the top 10% who are most at risk in France, mainly because they don’t think the rules on avoiding contact with others apply to them.

Essential viewing

The VEINS bloke on WW Raw and no Alexa? Swizzzz! Nope, there she was! Using up some of Kane’s old pyros. The theory here is that she’s pregnant and unable to perform, which is why she’s doing all the off-stage stuff.

Definite requirement

TV companies should be required by law on pain of permanent incarceration in the Tower of London to show a warning notice ahead of American soaps that use the names of real people, especially if they are still living, to explain that what the viewer is about to see is fiction and absolutely nothing to do with reality as Americans don’t get it.

Next whingers, please

Does anyone give a rat’s banana for Hazzer & Mazzer, who have been turned into mental elves ’coz 100% of the peasants don’t think they’re 100% fabulous?
    Thought not.

Nature’s conveniences

Isn’t it amazing how, when someone falls of a tall building, or is hurled off one, there’s always a car right under the spot where the plunger lands and the landing is always parallel to the kerb and smack on to the roof of the car?

Just don’t do it

As I don’t throw away 170 lbs of food per year, that means some bugger is ditching 340 lbs of it to make up for me. Sounds like a pretty time-consuming – and unappreciated – job!

Alternative to reality

What a weird world TV advertising is. The Dodgy Cars Bloke is delivering gin in an advert; no face mask and girning all over the customer from a range of less than a yard. Yet remaining unbusted by the fuzz for breach of plague spacing rules.

How to tell a lie

 “The PM failed to respond to a request for a comment”, a newspaper claims snippily. This is a lie because the PM is under no obligation to answer cheeky questions aimed at confecting outrage and ‘failure’ is not an option if he chose to ignore the cheeky question.

NOT giving us a break

How do you s-t-r-e-t-c-h a film out to 2 hours of TV time? Shoving in 10-minute advert breaks works for the Syfy Channel.

Not much time wasted

Record whizz through a recording of WW SmackDown. None of your actual ring action before the first ads was a warning of how bad it was going to be. About half of it was what was on last week. No wonder AEW is top of the pops if the WW ain’t trying.
    Hope springs eternal? I think the twang is going out of the spring. Which is a shame after Vince & Co. went to all the trouble of creating their marvellous ThunderDome.

No, thanks

Do we really need a TV programme picking the scabs off the Dunblane school massacre at the end of this week because it was 25 years ago? Anyone with any decency would let the dead rest in peace.

Pretty Good Going

A film called 2021 War of the Worlds on TV in early March? They certainly got a move on with that! Pity it didn’t have a Jeff Wayne sound track. And no plague masks?

In passing . . .

“Leaders pledge zero tolerance (of) women in politics”. Did the headline really say that?

Not a safe place to panic

There’s a picture of a bloatocrat’s latest luxury yacht in the paper with the panic room highlighted. Which tells BGs that to take him out, they need to approach the vessel from the port side and fire their missles @ the room just below the funnel.
    Unless it’s all a bluff and a blind.

Counterbalance

Let us not forget that women can be as nasty, horrible and vindictive as men any day of the week and getting more women into politics will not usher in a golden age of sweetness and light.

Candidate for a tar & feather job?

Has to be the editor of the Daily Wail for confecting outrage about the Tory party paying for pushy Carrie’s Downing Street decoration job rather than the taxpayer. Good for the Tories, bad for the barmy editor.

Quite obvious, really

Is it cruel to sit on a dead horse? You can’t be cruel to a dead animal, so any cruelty has to be confected by nasty bastards.

Totally blatant

SCF – Stolen Carpet Furniture in the safety of your own home, the bloke doing the TV advert seemed to be yelling. Which just confirms that you can get away with anything on the internet.

“We’ll let you know”

“The spring sunshine signals the dawn of a new beginning everywhere,” I read. Shame that the Sun has vanished again and spring doesn’t start until the vernal equinox, which is still over a couple of weeks away.

We hate the UK and we hate the UK

What a surprise that theGuardian has turned out to be the house journal of the IRA. Nothing to do with the general lefty hatred of everything British, of course.

Daft warning

“Warning, this film contains strong, bloody violence and nudity throughout” before a showing of Watchmen. Did that include the bloke in the bath who dropped his mobile phone during the ‘sponsored by’ advert?

False hope

“Devastating documents that could topple her TODAY” the front page of Wednesday’s paper yelled about the appalling Nicola Sturgeon. Not all that devastating if she’s still a Klingon to the First Minister job.

Much needed superhero!

According to the morons of the cancel culture, people can only write about their own experiences and imagination is in the dustbin of history. What we need is a masked avenger called Captain Cancellation, who will root out the cancellers and give them a good seeing to in order to persuade them to take up another hobby.

Clottish Cops

I did enjoy reading that the police shambles called Operation Midland is to be re-labelled Operation Keystone.

Taken for a ride

Online subscription TV for cats? Sounds like a great way to take cash from mugs. The Mansion cat takes no notice of TVs. Even when Rex, the dog who solves all his cases for Major Crimes Detective Hudson, is barking his head off, the cat doesn’t even hurl a ‘shut up’ glare in his direction.

More RAW fast-forward

I see the WW VEINS bloke has been reduced to clowning about backstage. Shame he's no good at it, despite all the help he gets from loverley little Alexa.

Technology gap

It does help if you press the right button on the remote control when you want to mute the adverts. That way, you don’t use up your lifetime allocation of swear words quite so quickly.

Tough Titty

The Bride of Daesh is stuck in her hell-hole in Syria thanks to the Supreme Court? We have enough criminals & scumbags on furlough here courtesy of the British taxpayer without importing more of them.

Non-exclusive ’uman rights

“Is Tiger Woods a tortured soul or just a lousy driver?” the headline asked. No reason why he can't be both.

Age Image

The way to avoid being invisible if you’re over 50, I gather, is to wear bright colours, make-up, high heels and a big grin. Sounds like a good way for someone like me to get laughed at. But only until the police arrive to bust the mocker(s) for an imaginary hate crime.

Purely pragmatic

NHS staff could be forced to have jab? That would just shove more taxpayers’ cash into the pockets of the legal trade. No, the only thing to do would be to put the non-vaxxers on unpaid gardening leave until it’s safe for them to have contact with the customers again.

Somewhere to avoid like, well, the plague

It has been pointed out that if a school is cancelling house names like Nelson, Drake, etc. because the pupils don't know who they are, that gives you a pretty good idea of the standard of teaching there. Good Point.

Recruitment by stealth?

Maybe the WW needs to kidnap the AEW scriptrotter. They have gangs, like the one with Chris Jericho playing the HUTAgonian role, but they also manage to come up with as lot of really spectacular ring action on a regular basis. Something the WW can manage only occasionally.
    More of the cruiserweights, less from the grotesques and slash & burn the tedious ranting. No wonder you can speed through a 90 minute recording of SmackDown in 35 minutes.

Hudson & Rex & Architecture

What have I derived from watching the Canadian cop ‘n’ dog show? The thing that’s striking about the police HQ in St. John’s, Newfoundland, is that the building wasn’t designed to make life easy for window-washers with all those non-vertical glass walls.

Non hate-crime incident?

What sort of a brain-dead bozo comes up with the idea of an official police register of the names of people who haven’t committed a hate crime?
    That has to be 100% New Labour policethink from the Ian Blair & Hyphen-Howe era.

Who needs them?

The world is certainly becoming a nastier place if cultural appreciation has been turned into the crime against humanity of cultural appropriation. Take wearing a sombrero, for instance.
    Do Mexicans get bent out of shape if people who aren’t Mexican wear one? Of course, not.
    The only people who object are the nasty bastards with nothing better to do with their time than confect imaginary hate crimes.

How about some Spice of Life?

Wouldn’t it be nice if the WW scriptrotter could come up with something new for the Champ? Being a coward with a gang to do his dirty work has whiskers down to the ground and has left the Head of the Table with his Head Up His Ass looking as tedious as the Veins bloke.

Uninformed reporting

Schoolkids in Nigeria kidnapped by ‘armed gunmen’. Can they be anything else if they have guns?

Getting America Interesting Again

A small dose of last night’s Trump Rant was entertaining but you’d have to be a real fan to sit through the whole thing.
    What he needs to do is cut out some of the repetition and aim for a more focussed presentation, even it he’s exposed to the cameras for a shorter period.
    He needs to be aware that he has to stay interesting to keep Gopher Joe held to account & trembling in his burrow.
