Dignity down the drain

It’s a real shame that the mother of Stephen Lawrence, murdered 30 years ago, now seems to be wrapping herself in the robes of entitlement along with Prince Hairy and some entitled others, who are after an undeserved pay day.

Logic failure

If the phone network that the Bacon bloke is paid to say is the best in the UK really is the bestest, that means that everyone who isn’t using it is an idiot.
    So why would they do advertising to add idiots to their client list?

Somewhat surplus

Is there any point in doing a brain-buster on a TV wrestler who clearly doesn’t have one?

Pile the charges on!

If Walker, the TV Texas Ranger, boots a bad guy so hard that he flies through a window, can he also be charged with fleeing the scene of the crime?

The right response

Headline: After ten years, is it all over for Trinny & Saatchi?
Response: Who cares?

Could have

Did Prince Hairy go to the same Smug Bugger School as that jumped-up toerag gary lineker? The grin looks much the same on both of them.

Not entirely unexpected

It’s rather difficult to feel sorry for people who live in areas of the US which are subject to tornadoes and have their home wrecked by one. A bolt from the blue it ain’t.

Really dumb move

We are told that people will not forgive the Tories for the cost of living. But what will they do? Replace the Tories with Labour, which has a history of making things worse?
    Depends how mastochistic the electorate are feeling, I suppose.

More of it

All these worthy legal types who say they won’t be involved in prosecuting eco=vandals who claim they’re saving the planet by wrecking things should be first to the lamp posts come the revolution.
    But not until after the politicians and trade union leaders have been dealt with, of course.
    They must have a really lost cause if even the smarmy leader of the Labour party won’t support it.

Nice dye job on the hair!

A familiar name spotted in the opening credits for Earthstorm (2006) – Dirk Benedict. What was he in, you ask yourself? Also, when was it on? and will he still be recognizeable?
    Answers: The A-Team, yonks ago & barely.
    He was playing a government wiseguy expert who was doing his best to frustrate efforts to save the planet, which is against type-casting!

Brain fade

The SNP making the known to be useless Yousaf (failure running health big time) as their leader confirms that they are as daft as any minority political party gets.

Nul points scored

If you manage to survive to the magnificent age of 80, it’s not unreasonable to assume that the government is taking the piss by raising your pension by just 25p per week as a bonus.
    A sum which has remained unchanged since 1971!!!!!

But the cat slept through it

I saw Deadpool (2016) in the programme guide and I knew I’d seen it. But there wasn’t anything else much on, so I decided to give it a try. And soon realized that I’d forgotten most of the plot and its twists.
    It’s a fun film, so time not wasted.

You can see why it’s called junk

You can tell how often I have a burger. There was a story about the dire perils of junk food in the paper accompanied by a picture of a round object of indeterminate size and no context. It was shades of beige with what looked like white ants scattered upon it.
    I had to read the caption to find out that it was a burger, having decided that it looked like a cake of some sort.

Life all over

You switch on the subtitles and no bugger is saying anything. Sit with your thumb on the button like a lemon until you find out there are none.

Holmes vs the Ripper

The names before the title of the film Murder By Decree (1978) comprise a load of blokes, heard of all of them, and two women, heard of only one of them.
    Cue a kerfuffle among the ist ists over exclusion and preference and sexism and God Knows What.

Oh, Marc!

Some bloke strolled out of the crowd to do the Portuguese anthem before the MotoGP race. Marc Marquez got a battering on the first of 25 laps. Then he over-cooked a corner on lap 3, ran up the back of Olivera and crashed both of them out.
    Bagnaia from Viñales with Alex Marquez 4th for a long time. Martin fell off with 6 to go. A good day for Ducati at the end. Zarco made 4 passes on the last lap to take 4th place.

Moto2 next

One of the guys was gone after the first of 21 laps and hopping mad; he was shunted off in the replay. Tyre life was an issue for the commentators.
    Will Canet win for the first time at last? He was eating Acosta’s dust for ages . . . and finished 2nd.

Radical difference

The Tories have ambitions to persecute yobs and fly-tippers. Labour wants to send the parents of yobs to re-education camps at the taxpayer’s expense. Bloody typical.

Sting in tail

The best quote during the SNP leadership race came from Ms Forbes, who told an interviewer that yes, she would have useless Yousaf in her cabinet if she got the gig.
    But maybe not in Health, where he has been a disaster.

It’s back!

MotoGP resumed in Portugal with the mad Moto3 mob. One of them managed to get only as far as turn 4 of lap 1/19! Another gone on lap 4. The rest stayed well bunched up, promising a scramble to the finish.
    Red or blue bike? Red 1st, 3rd & 4th.

How desperate can you get?

Putin the Poisoner is having to dig Soviet era tanks out of museums to replace the ones shot to bits in Ukraine? That should get a few curators having a silent heart attack if they can’t object.
    Almost as good a story as the one that Putin is hoping to get some Chinese troops who can pass for Europeans from President Eleven to use as cannon fodder.

Well-deserved anonymity?

Why have I never heard of the unfunny comic Stewart Lee, who was mentioned in the paper? Probably because he’s not funny.

A community’s responsibility

It’s probably instructive to remember that the murder of Stephen Lawrence 30 years ago wasn’t done by the Metropolitan police.
    Yes, the Met bogged up the investigation but all 5 killers were the product of the culture prevailing in the area of London where they lived at the time and nothing to do with the police.

Point Missed

I keep seeing adverts for slow cookers and deliveries of slow-cooked grub and I keep wondering what’s so wonderful about food cooked to the consistency of solid soup?

Response Corrupted

On thing the Islamist killers have done is desensitize us. We have the Manchester Arena bombing aftermath in the news at the same time as the news of a bloke being set on fire outside a mosque by another Moslem.
    A personal tragedy for the injured bloke but there’s also a sense that what went round has come around again and the innocent are still suffering at the hands of mad Islamists, who think they have a divine right to kill anyone else.
    And if the victim of their latest outrage is one of their own, that’s a bullet dodged by the rest of us.

Recycled!

The Esso Tiger is now selling sheds in a TV advert. Is that a green career move for him?

Worth repeating

Oxfam shouldn’t have called its 92 pages of woke garbage a ‘guide’ as that word is patronizing to people who can’t think for themselves and loaded with colonial overtones.
    Garbage is as garbage does.

Included Out

One of my neighbours reckons it’s difficult to be bothered about issues like filling potholes if the current estimate for repairing all of them is 14 years and he’s old enough to be sure that he’s not going to live that long!

All Don’t Change

The ‘grilling’ the Harperson Gang of the Commons privileges comitting gave the former PM seems to have been an almighty flop. The people who were out to get Boris Johnson still pretend he’s the worst person in the world. The people who support him against left-wing tyranny reckon he won by a country mile.
    And the people who don’t care; most of us; are still footing the bill for Harperson and her clowns.

How wonderful

The BBC must really hate Charles Dickens if it has commissioned some character to knock out an effort that will be passed off as Great Expectations; but with the major characters turning into foul-mouthed junkies who are into bottom whipping and probably a load of other perversions.

Giraffe Fodder

The newspaper picture of the Chinese President, Mr. Eleven, doing a walk-past along a line of soldiers in Moscow was rather amusing – probably unintentionally, though.
   All the kids with guns and bayonets looked young enough and naive enough to play Private Pike in another remake of Dad’s Army. And the comical thing was that they all had their nose stuck up in the air – in a very Pike-like posture – and seemed to be looking down on the little foreign visitor with bucketfuls of contempt.

 

Bullet-holed foot

It’s fair enough for former senior academics at Oxford U. to get pay-outs for being forcibly retired early thanks to age discriminating rules. All this woke garbage has reduced the status of Oxbridge down to dumps level.

Hidden ransom

Are we likely to be told how much Labour’s crusade to stitch up Boris Johnson is costing the taxpayer? All the civil servants juggling files and hiding the inconvenient ones, all the MPs trying frantically to get noticed, all the ones like Harperson trying to pretend they haven’t got Boris down for hanging, drawing & quartering and to hell with the evidence.
    The list goes on and on and on endlessly. Hundreds of thousands of pounds of our money? Probably.
    Will we get anything worthwhile from all that expenditure of our cash? Not a chance in Hell.

Hidden almost gems

I was amazed to read about China’s collection of ghost towns – replicas of places in England, Europe & the US built as part of self-enrichment scams by local political bosses.
    Apparently they have features such as a bogus Blackpool Tower and a bogus Tower Bridge and maybe even a bogus Trump Tower. They are all unoccupied by people and decaying because a communist state lacks the gumption to make a tourist trail out of them.

Just plain malarky

How is turning their lovingly preserved wartime base into a camp for draft-dodgers and other cross-Channel scroungers a tribute to the Dam Busters of 617 Squadron?

Putting in the direction of off

A surprising thing that I’ve noticed recently is the sheer nastiness of the people in charge of a lot of charities. They provide a perfect reason for everyone to keep their hands in their pockets when they rattle a begging bowl if their pay is coming out of what is contributed.

Who’da thunk it?

This may seem rather amazing but nobody I know thinks that energy prices going down in the summer when they don’t use much gas and electricity is reassuring if the prices will be back up again in winter, when lots of consumption goes on.
    And being told about the summer slump by politicians has all the hallmarks of a con job.

Continuity achieved

What do you do when your star has had enough? Those watching seried 4 of Airwolf [Legend, 19:00] have found out that you dump the star, Stringfellow Hawk, for his brother, St. John,  who has been released from illegal captivity.
    But as it’s the helicopter that’s the real star, no worries.
    The old bloke in charge of Santini Air has also gone, and there’s a new female helper. And a new bloke sidekick.
    Business as before with new faces.

Credibility gap

The people making money out of big game hunting in Africa are claiming the UK’s ban on importing trophies will wipe out all animal life there.
    But it’s only a ban on bringing trophies back here. The rich and obnoxious are still free to go to Africa and blast anything that moves.

Total Indifference

Am I concerned by the revelation that there are no females presenting Saturday night shows on BBC and ITV?
    As there’s never anything I want to watch on their channels, not even a little bit.

Boris is dead right

The Partygate shambles confected by the Labour members of the Commons privileges committee is an offence against due process and the rule of law and truth, honesty and the British way of life.

What will they do next?

It must really encourage people to give money to Oxfam if they know that it will be wasted on producing a vast tome which claims its an inclusivity guide but consists of words you can’t use any more for no good reason. There’s giving otherwise unemployable people the dignity of labour and there’s this malarky. One thing you can be sure of is that Oxfam or some other charity has something much stupider up its sleeve.

Another fascinating eyeful

Another Hammer without Michael Ripper? Disgraceful. Still, The Mummy (1959) was a beautiful print with vibrant colour. A joy to behold.

Interesting statistic

The vast numbers of kids bunking off school are being spun as a reduction in class sizes to make us think the education establishment has actually achieved something.

Halt the lynching!

Gulp! Hugh Grant, actor person, is innocent of crimes against humanity @ the Oscars. The car-crash interview was all the fault of the model with the microphone. She hadn’t done her preparation – vital as this is, ladies in the business were quick to point out – because she’s a model, not someone who knows how to interview a celeb.
    Which makes all the sound & fury just plain BS.

Backward step

A warning that a TV series with ‘Murder’ in the title might be unsuitable for younger viewers seems rather surplus to requirements and should be ditched.
    Especially when you realize that if the little stinkers weren’t watching murder & mayhem on TV, they’d be watching porn on the WWW.

Label tragedy

Someone (I’ve never heard of) played (a character name I don’t know) in a TV series I’ve heard of but never watched. Which doesn’t tell me a whole lot about Mr. or Ms X when he/she/it gets a name check in a newspaper snippet.
    Except to leave me with the impression that the person concerned is of no great importance!

Well Preserved

The Frank of Cursenstein (1954) can’t have been a proper Hammer Film – it didn’t have Michael Ripper in it. Top billing for Peter Cushing, small lettering for Christopher Lee as the monster, who didn’t have much of a part.
    Melvyn Hayes, later in It Ain’t Half Hot, Mum, was another familiar name – he was the young Corbynstein.
    The Mansion cat wasn’t impressed. She slept right through the epic.
    Full marks for the picture quality of the current version.

Too Simple?

How come Walker, the Texas Ranger, doesn’t get dizzy and fall over from all the spin kicks he does?
    Life would be so much simpler if he just booted the bad guy in the cojones and booted him in the mush when he was on his knees, yelling his head off.
    But maybe not as spectacular for the cameras.

Logical conclusion

Clare Baldini is a perfect match for Wimbledon, someone wrote. Never watch anything she’s in, never watch bloody Wimbledon. So maybe he’s right.

Rather obvious

“Whatever happened to personal responsibility?” Sarah Vine demanded in the Daily Mail.
    The short answer is: “The Labour party.”

Problem solved

If King Charles doesn’t know whether to wear a uniform or a suit for his coronation, he should do both. Arrive for the event in a uniform, shed the uniform for being coating in holy gunk, and do a quick change into a suit after a wash down.

How true

Obesity can’t be called a crisis, I read, because that label would amount to fat-shaming, which is now frowned on.

Not them, Guv

You do get the feeling that some sort of dodgy deal is being cooked up behind the scenes if the prime minister is putting a gag order on MI6 and won’t join in the American campaign to expose the source of the Chinese plague as China.

Racket

Life is so uncomplicated now. If you don’t want to do something, such as work for a living, all you have to do is claim that the thought of doing it gives you mental health issues!!

Dope

Someone else who’s useless is the prime minister if he thinks chucking half a billion quid of our money at the French will do anything to reduce the flood of illegal migrants.

Business as usual

How not surprised are we that the boss of the BBC had a secret deal with gary bloody lineker letting him put anything he likes on the internet without reference to the impartiality rules that are applied, if loosely, to the rest of the crew?
    We’d be surprised only if there wasn’t an 80-ton lorryload of hypocrisy involved.

Worth a try

Surrogates (2009) featuring Bruce Willis turned out to be a very watchable sciffy film. Even though it had a totally weird idea of what life would be in 2017.

And another

Hunt’s big problems are that we know he was useless as the Health Secretary and the Tories didn’t want him as their leader. Is that enough to be his alibi for being useless as the Chancellor?

Another loser

The police have joined the yell for more money. 17% more. But would anyone notice if they were allowed to go on strike?

More of it

Is Labour ever going to stop pretending that the real reason why they’re so keen on letting all the world’s migrants come here is they think they can buy their votes if they throw enough other people’s cash at them?
    Doubtful. Sir Starmer & Co. seem to think they’re on to a winner.

Soggy at the sharp end

If gary hypocrite lineker is so keen on migrants, why doesn’t he use a few of his millions to house & feed three or four thousand of them?
    Or would that be too much like doing something useful?

Frustration

I could jump up and down and yell I’m not going to watch the Wimbledon coverage if they let Russians play. But as I never watch it anyway, no one is likely to be impressed.
    Except idiots, of course. And there do seem to be rather a lot of them around. So maybe I’ll do it after all.
    Unfair! Unfair!

It’s obvious, really

Why won’t Dan Brown admit his Da Vinci Code book is based on a hoax? a bloke making money about writing about him asked.
    1. Because everyone knows it and no one needs to be told?
    2. Because he’s too busy counting the zillions he’s made from the book?
    Take yer pick.

What they do!

I see the NHS has approved a weight-loss drug which has been tested on zillions of ‘celebs’ and found to be a good way to suppress a greedy appetite.
    Alas, the approval has come at a time when there is so much demand for the stuff that it’s unobtainable.

Yes, it works

One of the Terry Pratchett Diskworld series – Sourcery (1988) – has just come up on my reading list. I found the style rather cute and a it off-putting at first, but the relentless absurdity does grow on you.

All the same colour

The current opinion is that the Americans have now sussed out what Pushy Megan is all about and she’s become a figure of fun. But if the money continues to roll in, she’ll just have to grit her teeth if she wants to go on grabbing.
    Dosh for heroes, dosh for clowns, it’s all the same colour.

Not really

THE WHO in concert @ Sandringham on August Bank Holiday Monday? Trade Descriptions Act.
    That should be: Some of THE WHO, given that at least half of them are no longer in the land of the living.
    More a tribute band with a couple of the original members rather than the real thing.

Serious loot

Junior doctors are striking for a 35% pay rise? Why don’t they just go the whole hog and demand double? They’re as likely to get that.

Strange silence

We’re all wondering here why Sir Starmer hasn’t offered Gary Lineker another job as a private consultant with a choke hold on public opinion.
    Maybe it’s because he can’t offer him enough loot.

Different tripe

All the waste of space about that fool Lineker has managed to shove the BS about Matt Hancock and his book to the sidelines.
    But it’s just more BS and nothing worth wasting too much time on.

Imitation, the wrecker!

I was amused to read that school attendance is down a lot on Fridays because the kids are seeing their parents skiving at home to get a long weekend and deciding they deserve a bit more time off too.

You can tell it’s not real life

The most unbelievable thing about the film The November Man is the ending, when the Russian president is deposed just because he started a small war in Chechnya on the orders of the CIA.
    Ain’t never gonna happen. Didn’t happen to tony b. liar.
    The best bit was the Russian killer lady getting a faceful of a big shovel.

Short changed

Is one minute’s silence enough for the Richter 9 earthquake plus tsunami that caused the Fukushima nuclear power station disaster in Japan in 2011 and killed over 22,000 people?
    Half an hour at least sounds more appropriate.

Badly edited science

We are constantly being told that species are failing to adapt to climate change and going extinct. But what about other species leaping into a vacant niche to fill it?
    Or is that an inconvenience that the warmists would prefer us to ignore?

Slight the White

There was a prime example of casual racialism in the Sunday Post yesterday. The new president of Ramblers Scotland doesn’t go out into the countryside for the scenery. She does it to glare at the white faces and blame them for the lack of interest in the great outdoors shown by others of her ethnicity.

Saturation point

I actually switched over to another channel last night when I realized I knew what an episode of Murder, She Wrote is all about. Which leaves me wondering how many times I’ve seen the millions of episodes if they’re starting to stick in my memory.

Just shouting

There’s a lot of fuss about social media ‘platforms’ helping school kids to organize riots but nothing useful being done by the educational establishment.
    Maybe they’re too busy teaching kids how to choke a sexmate safely.

Buck misplaced

Boris Johnson nominating his father for a peerage is not a scandal, despite the moans of the far-Left. There’s still a vetting committee to go through. Unless that’s a joke. Which is the fault of the leader of the Lords, not BoJo.

A two-edged sword

If the Labour party is allowed to run a cancel culture, then diversity and equality considerations demand that the Tories can have one as well. And any Labour MPs who object to this should be sacked on the spot.

Football without the chat

I’m not a compulsive Match of the Day watcher but I can imagine it would be a lot better with all the pointificators suspended or on strike and all the viewer got to look at was bits of a few football matches without the rabbit.

Give him the boot

Can the BBC survive without that idiot lineker? Given that we’re in a cost of living crisis, the licence payer who has no option about coughing up would be happy to see a cut of £1.35 million in the payroll.

More giraffing

Why is booze expensive? Because the government taxes the alcohol in it 8 ways from Sunday plus a bit more. Which means an alcohol-free pop, like Guinness Zero, should cost a few pence a pint.
    And if it doesn’t, you’re being robbed blind is the obvious conclusion.

A judge avinga giraffe?

I was amazed to read that the serial criminal Charles Bronson was once given a life in gaol sentence with a minimum term of three bloody years!!!
    What sort of a bad joke is that?

Just selfish

I read with little enthusiasm, the news that the Chancellor is still hell-bent on making the UK uninvestable in with his stonking corporation tax rise.
    I get the sense that he’s painted himself into a corner and his pride now comes before the national welfare.

Life ain’t safe

The Welsh police are getting a kicking for not finding a car that crashed off the road for 2 days. There was a similar case with similar recriminations in Scotland some time go.
    It’s something that happens.

Balanced, at least

We now have one gang of usual suspects on the public payroll claiming half of the world’s population will be obese in about 15 years’ time and another gang yelling about poverty and no food.
    It would be great to lock them all in a big room for a couple of weeks and let them argue it out to a common position.

While we’re at it

Talking about the civil service; there seems to be no move to sack the people at MI5 who let the Manchester Arena bomber lurk about, associating with assorted dangerous Islamists, until he worked up the nerve to become a mass murderer.

Stitch in the direction of up

Sue Gray’s crimes against impartiality, alleged, look pretty heinous for a supposedly politically neutral member of the civil service and need to be addressed.
    But we also know that everything will probably end up being whitewashed, as is usual with the civil service Blobists.

A-mazing!

Well, that are the odds of that? The fugitive bank robber hijacks a hot-air balloon and Walker, the Texas Ranger, commandeers another to drop onto the other balloon to do a mid-air arrest.
    Definitely a big ‘I’ for imagination!

Drivel Drizzele

Going on about what Matt Hancock did or didn’t do might help to fill up newspapers and give people with nothing to do a topic to moan about. But so what?
    He’s irrelevant in politics now and it doesn’t matter.

Reset

If GB Views wanted to be accurate, they should have made some new programme captions for Dan Woottonn Tonight reading “Dan Wootton is Skiving”.

A clone of what?

The leader of the resistance in Battle Star Wars (2020) was called Commander Corbyn Shyster? That’s what it looked like to a casual glance in the opening credits.
    No Cylons. Swizz! Nowt to do with Galactica, then.

Real life, it ain’t!

Something else occasionally scifi-ish is Walker, Texas Ranger when it does a miracle cure on a shot kid and claims that happy-clapping gospel singers will rid a neighbourhood of its infestation of scumbag gang bangers and drug dealers with automatic weapons.

“I’d buy that for a dollar”

Bit of a vintage year for films, 1987. The pre-remake film of Robocop was released; way better than the unnecessary remake.
    Watching it reminded me where a much quoted catch phrase came from.

Game off

The other night, the Mansion cat decided to have a game of football with the Breakaway biscuit (wrapped) that I was planning to enjoy with after-dinner coffee.
    None of that last night. She was too busy sleeping off most of a tin of tuna in spring water.

Crime of the century; not

Imagine being told that you can’t infest a 5 bedroom non-cottage in England and you are forced to live in an $11 million mansion in California.
    Can any punishment be more heinous?

Graygate now

“Magna Carta,” Tony Hancock asked the other 11 just men in the jury room, “did she die in vain?”
    Sure looks like it with the civil service exposed as corrupt from top to bottom, full of obstructive agendas and obsessed with PC BS.

Gotcha!

Sir Starmer is a weapons-grade hypocrite, said the leader in my paper. That’s telling him. And everyone knows he can’t sue for slander because it’s true.

Just a distraction

How strange that we never hear anything about Sir Starmer’s lockdown boozing activities, only Boris Johnson’s. Maybe we should be yelling for a Beergate commission to investigate what Starmer got up to and put Jeremy Corbyn in charge of it.
    He’d be about as impartial as the Grey person and the Labour and Bremoan supporting legal eagle who was supposed to be advising her when she was stitching Boris up.

Deprivation!

We never had drag queens telling us there are 73 genders when I was at school. Isn’t it amazing how any of my generation ever managed to get to grips with real life?

Way off target

Jesse ‘The Body’ Ventura of wrestling fame, Mick Fleetwood of Mac fame and Jim Brown were all familiar names in the credits of The Running Man (1987), which was on last night. Along with Arnold Schwarzenberger, of course.
    It was made when 2017 was well in the future. It is now something to laff at because it got that future so wildly wrong. But hey, it’s only entertainment.

More Junk

Prince Hairy’s moans about being evicted from Frogmore Not A Cottage. He must know he’s made himself unwelcome here, which means that he won’t need the mansion.
    And his wife is busy making netverts for coffee to make a few bob until she gets her book ghost-written.

Dangerous Obsession

The carbon emissions from the UK are too low to have any effect at all on the global climate. And yet the government still hands out taxpayers’ money to scams to make aviation fuel out of plants instead of oil, which will require 50% of the nation’s farmland and make the fuel cost 7 times more!!
    And there’s a mad carbon capture scam for gas-fuelled power stations which will DOUBLE the cost of the electricity generated. And achieve bugger all.

Could be junked

Does anyone else find the idea of anointing King Charles with some vegan gunk which has been blessed in Jerusalem a huge laugh and a totally daft thing to do in the 21st century?

Another Rut

Other governments are happy to point a finger at China as the source of the global pandemic of coronavirus. But the British scientific establishment is keeping quiet.
    Why? Because it has been bought with Chinese dosh and it doesn’t want inconvenient facts to cut off the flow.

Rut City

Are we stuck in the past? Endless stuff we don’t care about to stitch up Matt Hancock is flying about. More rehashed BS about Boris.
    We know it’s all just political jealousy behind it. Yawn.

Insane Extremity

We haven’t mentioned to the Mansion cat that the government was considering killing all of the cats in the country – 9 million or 11 million, depending on which source is quoted.
    Why was this on offer? Just because ONE cat caught the Chinese plague from its owner, sneezed on a vet and passed the virus on to the unfortunate vet, who survived it.
    And to think we’re paying taxes to employ loonies who come with insane schemes like this.

Stitches unravelling

The Get Boris industry seems to be dropping to bits. The allegedly impartial civil servant who did the Partygate report is revealed to be on Team Starmer. And the Commons committee stitching him up is Labour dominated with Harridan Harperson in charge.
    Boris can yell with justification, “I never had a chance!”

Something to go for!

Here’s a better one than 30 plants a day for your gut – drink red wine and make sure you try out lots of different ones from all over the world.
    That’s a brilliant source of all sorts of different plant chemicals, the boffin reckons. But only one or two glasses of wine per day. Moderation still rules.

The bad recording is a giveaway

The Amazon impersonator scammers are still at it. I had a call the other day claiming that someone had ordered stuff worth £599 on my account. That’s a hell of a lot of CDs!

Easy solution

Boffins at Cambridge U. Have decided that walking about for as little as 10 minutes per day makes you live longer.
    As I spend more than that amount of time doing things for the Mansion cat, like letting her out, letting her back in then letting her out again when she’s restless, I’m going to live forever!

The truth emerges slowly

How not surprised are we that the supposedly impartial civil servant who did the Partygate inquiry is now Labour’s Chief of Staff?
    The notion of an impartial civil service belongs at the bottom of the dustbin of history with the current Blobocracy mentality in charge everywhere.
    Not so much left-leaning as flat on the back to the left.
    Will there be an inquiry into the person who did the Partygate stitch up? Of course, not.

Digestive Skive

Good grief! I’ve just read we’re supposed to eat 30 plants a week for happy gut microbes. That’s 30 different plants.
    Claiming you are keeping track of your plant count sounds like a great way to avoid getting anything else done.

More work for the printing trade

Publishers who don’t want to lose all of their customers are having to release un-messed-about-with editions of classic books following a flood of condemnation.
    I suppose it’s too much to ask for them to leave well alone and let the author sink or swim on his/her own merits.

So what?

It’s rather tragic that people who have made a bit of a splash, or the most evil criminal, have to be described in terms of the number of offspring they have created.
    Mother of one. Father of 13 by five different women. Just laziness, I suppose.

Names dropped

‘A leading author’ does a page in the paper on how he survived a cardiac arrest in a car park. All sorts of luvvies seem to know him. Never heard of him myself. Such is the fickleness of fame.

Equally trivial!

The PM was getting a lot of flak about the length of this trousers, a while ago. He was being twitted for having the legs made too short to make him look taller. Supposedly.
    The photos from the weekend meeting with the EU Commission president suggest that his trousers are no longer at half mast but nothing from the self-appointed fashion experts. No front-page shock-horrors, nothing!

Only fair

If GB Views is the people’s channel, is there one for pussy cats and another for puppy dogs?
    I have actually read that some dogs can be glued to a TV set if the right programme is on, so a dedicated channel for them is not a totally daft idea.
    The Mansion cat, however, takes no notice at all of the TV. Even if there’s a fierce dog doing a lot of barking in a film.

Quick Departure Route needed

What the Church of England needs is a quick and tidy way of binning an archbishop when he becomes an embarrassment. As Welby has become @ Canterbury with his daft notion that we should be nice to Putin the Poisoner, appeal to his better nature and not help the Ukrainians to fight him off. Welby is long overdue for a trip in the yellow van to the looney bin.

Not quite true, is it?

The mark of anyone who’s had anything to do with sometime PM Boris Johnson is that they end up in the gutter, according to Labour’s current smarmy leader.
    But as that seems to be where he’s operating from, and he never has anything to do with Boris, being there has to be down entirely to his own efforts.

Everlasting

If good sleepers live longer, as the experts in the field claim, then the Mansion cat ought to see out the rest of this century.

Odd source

How weird that it was the US energy department which confirmed that the Chinese plague escaped from that lab in Wuhan.

No sherbert, Shirley

“The following programme may not be suitable for younger viewers,” quoth the announcer.
    What, dead bodies all over the place in an episode of Murder, She Wrote unsuitable for kiddies?
    Well, who’da thunk it!
