Clarification needed

“PM tells police chiefs to end mob rule” – is this an admission that Lee Anderson was 100% right about what’s going on in London and the PM is too scared of the Mob to say so?

One I should have missed

Further to the observations made previously, I had a scam call from a mobile number a couple of hours after I recorded the last but two thought. Obviously a machine voice trying on an 'Amazon buy' scam.
    There’s a scammer who needs to invest in either a fancy AI system or a crooked actor, who can sound like a real person who isn’t from India.

Did I miss something?

Anyone would think this country is ruled by Moslems, the way ‘celebs’ keep trying to get themselves noticed/notorious by pandering to the pro-Palestinian troublemakers.

Glad to be elsewhere!

It can’t be any fun to live in Birmingham at the moment if the bungling Labour-run council has dug such a monstrous debt hole that the Council Tax is going to have to go up by 21% over the next couple of years.
    No doubt everyone living there is hoping to be bailed out by a Labour government looking after its own.

Consequence

We were wondering if BT’s urge to cancel landline phones means that those who still have them get more calls from the phone scammers, and especially the ones who using a mobile rather than a phone attached to a company exchange.
    There could well be a research paper in it for someone: “Consequence to Con Sequence – a study of trends in telephone fraud”. Shame there’s no copyright on ideas.

Every day another

That’s a theory about how Putin had the opposition politician Alexei Navalny murdered. Forget the KGB punch to the heart when he was chilled to the bone. Grab by a bunch of thugs and one single drop of Novichok administered to the tongue is the next alternative.

Total Disorder

If the Just Stoppers start a blockade of an MP’s home and a bunch of terrorism supporters turns up to do the same, what will the police end up doing? Watch them fight it out and then arrest the losers as a softer target?

What’s the point?

What do the US legal bunch get out of adding up all the years they could give the Wikileaks bloke Assange for putting American lives in danger? Other than showers of derision if they think they can keep him in gaol for 175 years.
    Or maybe they’re hoping to score virtue points by giving him 170 years’ remission for behaving himself.

Weird or perverse?

What is it with women and holes in garments? They went mad for jeans with the knees aerated. Now, it’s tights. That’s the only explanation for a popster/actress to be parading around in tights with a fancy pattern and a big hole beneath her left kneecap.

Cue the Revolution?

Former Tory deputy chairman Lee Anderson performed a valuable public service by speaking out against one of the many vexatious minorities and their stooge, who have nothing better to do with themselves than try to ruin the lives of the rest of us with their eternal attention-seeking and poisonous control freakery.
    PM Sunak’s reaction confirms that the Tories have lost the plot and the reactions of London mayor Khan & Labour leader Starmer confirm that Labour has nothing to offer in the way of a competent alternative,which can be relied on to serve the best interests of the British people as a whole.

Not even one hoot

Is there anyone outside the political bubble who hasn’t told the Westminster Wibblers that the Israelis and the Hamas crew are not listening to their burblings?
    Where’s Guy Fawkes when you need him?

Terror Tactic?

There’s been a lot of speculation about what Beer Starmer threatened the Speaker with in that now notorious cupboard to cause Walk-Out Wednesday when the SNP wanted to wave virtue flags over the Gaza shindig.
    Setting the Post Office's goon squad on Hoyle to railroad him into gaol for fiddling his expenses is the best explanation I’ve seen.

Tech Overload

Good grief! I read that some electric toothbrushes come with a 50-page manual and the maker wants you to connect it up to a crap phone app so that you can track your brushing history!! Sheesh!
    You’d have to be a really sad loser to add that to all the other time-wasting opportunities on a phone.

Well off the mark

“Westminster claims to be the mother of all Parliaments but it behaves like a sixth-form debating society”, a Daily Disaster reader told us.
    Wrong.
    It behaves like an ancient mother with senile dementia most of the time.

Smart Manoeuvre

How comforting it was to read that 10-pin bowling was invented to get around the anti-gambling laws framed around 9-pin bowling.
    Where there’s a will, there is indeed a way!

What a Muppet decision

The former Tory MP Lee Anderson is quite right about the Islamist take-over in London. The TV news is full of evidence of it. Which makes booting him off the Tory list quite wrong. SNAFU. Real people cancelled again.

Re-evaluation

Maybe it was wrong to call London’s cosmetic mayor giving names to parts of the Overground rail network ‘clottish’.
    Strike the ‘ish’, it’s totally clot!
[with a nod in the direction of Jonathan Miller’s explanation that he’s not really a Jew; just Jew-ish, not the whole hog]

Crossword Revolt!

Clue: Mass of bread.
    400 grams or 800 grams is much more accurate than ‘loaf’.

How do they get away with it?

After seeing a TV advert, there was much speculation about what the Guinness ‘nitrosurge’ is all about. The explanation that got the most approval was that it delivers a nitric oxide blast to the male body similar to the one delivered by Viagra and its imitators!

Beyond Dispute

“Where there is a low turnout in a by-election, why does the loser always assume it was their supporters that didn’t bother to vote?” a Daily Disaster reader asked.
    No assumption necessary, mate. The number of votes each party got is readily available the next day and, as for the last couple of by-elections, they show perfectly clearly whose supporters didn’t turn out.

Easy Pick

Which are we more under threat from – the largely imaginary far-Right or the ubiquitous & vexatious far-Wrong cancel culturalists and other anti-British far-Left scumbags?
    When did the far-Right ever manage to stop the traffic on a regular basis completely unchallenged?

Khan’t be tolerated

London’s mayor should be booted out if his response to criticism from an MP is to try to play the race card. This is just anti-white racialism if he’s pretending the colour of his skin is are behind the criticism, not his serial incompetence, being on the side of supporters of Islamist terrorism and ‘working hard’ to make central London a Jew-free zone.

The Invisible Can-Carrier

There’s nothing like a good bit of scandal to make a politician invisible. Anyone seen or heard anything of Liberal leader Ed Davey now that the Post Office/Horizon scandal is out in the open?
    Nope?
    Lost deposit time is no fun for the minorities.

Just Iggorant

“How to never forget where you left your keys again” by a top mental expert.
    A headline trumped by:
“How never to forget about not splitting infinitives” by a top English grammar expert.

Just clottish

You wouldn’t think the transport system in London is billions in the red if the nutcase of a mayor can blow millions more on rebranding parts of the surface rail network with woke names to parallel the Tube system. Not that you can get on a train if the drivers are always on strike.

With one bound

How to get the country out of recession? Easy. Just use someone else’s definition – there are a fair number around – which makes the problem go away.

Overboard

Over the top and a lot more. That’s my reaction to a picture of the couple with the baby whose birth certificate was defaced by having the word ‘Israel’ cancelled with a ballpoint pen by some snivel servant.
    Cancelling the infant’s face with pixellation strikes me as being equally daft. No one’s going to be able to identify the kid from what was on offer. But hey, it’s the rules.

Cunning

That’s the only way to describe the Israeli plan to attack Rafa in Gaza at the start of Ramadan, when the Moslem enemy should be fasting and praying, and therefore not up to doing much in the way of fighting.

Foul, Ref!

How come GB Views lets Headliners get away with the claim that the show offers a first look at the following day’s newspapers when Patrick Chrispy offered the front pages, and occasional stuff from the interior, half an hour earlier?

George In Danger!

Computers are everywhere now, which makes episodes of The Avengers that involve them, like George, a robot the bad guys were trying to ‘kill’, historical dramas. Almost something that could have been written by H.G. Wells.
    These stories are a billion miles away from The Avengers’ contemporaries in the late 1960s, the Star Trek gang.

Suggestions?

What we need is an alternative to ‘sufferers’ to describe people who have a medical condition which doesn’t cause suffering, e.g. the type 2 diabetes that a million people are suppose to have but be unaware of.

Bilious shade of the colour

The Green party seems to be doing its best to confirm its right to wear the Nasty Party mantle if it thinks freedom of speech includes a right for its member to libel Jews in Britain and threaten to kill them over some shindig in the Middle East.

On the way out

Growing food naturally looks like it’s doomed. If climate change doesn’t do for farming, the politicians and their silly green agenda look like doing the job.
    But no doubt they’ll be as happy as the rest of us if all we get to eat in the future is some mush stewed up in vast vats in laboratories around the country.
    That’s assuming all the politicos aren’t strung up by indignant voters when caught secretly feasting on real food.

Okay for some

The news media got lots of space fillers about the shambles in the Commons and the politicking over a meaningless vote on the Gaza war.
    Not much value for money for the British public who are paying for all the meaningless posturing.

Wet confusion

Platell Speople of the Daily Disaster has clearly never read Frank Herbert’s Dune sequence if she was wondering how an actress done up in a weird metallic get-up goes to the Ladies.
    On Arrakis, where water is a precious resource, everyone has tubes and catchment systems built in to their outfit and water is not casually evacuated.

All Change

We’re due to get episode 176 of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine on Thursday. Then it’s Mission Impossible in the 6 p.m. evening slot.
    The show must go on.
    Knight Rider & KITT to follow.

Bulletproof

Isn’t it great, being a dictator and able to steal anything you fancy and have anyone who objects murdered?

Creeping

Petrol and diesel prices are sneaking up relentlessly, a penny a push. Are we supposed to accept that this is because supply ships are taking 9 days longer to get here to avoid the Red Sea terrorists?
    Or is it just routine price-shifting ‘because they can’?

Simple Test

Is The Curse of the Mummy’s Tomb (1964) a genuine Hammer film? Yes, Michael Ripper is in it. Although, he doesn’t last too long! There’s nearly as much knife crime in the film as in modern London.

Not bothered

The latest thing seems to be to try to get everyone in a panic because computer software can create human faces that look indistinguishable from real people.
    But if I’ve never heard of a lot of the people whose pictures decorate my newspapers and my TV screen; by deliberate choice, having better things to do; it doesn’t really matter to me.
    And not spending all that much time online turns out to be a good way of avoiding scammers with real or faked faces.

Wall to Wall Starmer

That’s what it felt like on Sunday when he was demanding his cease fire in Gaza at a Labour conference in Glasgow. The same clip on every news programme I saw.
    And those doing the programmes never seemed inclined to offer the obvious truth that no one in the Middle East is listening to anyone here, and it’s all just hot air.

Still nothing?

I recently read a short piece telling us that Uri Geller, the Israeli spoon-bender, claimed he used his telepathic powers to do us a favour and prevent Oh Jeremy Corbyn from becoming our prime minister.
    Strange that he didn’t use these wonderful powers to prevent the Hamas attack on Israel last October and that he’s not being constantly reminded of this.

AI Blunder?

Who’s at fault – a generation of ignorant journalists who write that a ship ‘sunk’ instead of that it ‘sank’? Or the scrutiny system for the words that go into newspapers?
    If there isn’t any human editorial proof-reading any more, it’s clear that the AIs at the Daily Disaster and the Sunday Post are not fit for purpose.
    All due to the cult of transience; Nothing lasts long enough to matter any more; applied to the printed page.

Rotten alibi

Is it fair to excuse Creaky Joe Biden for confusing the presidents of Egypt and Mexico because both nations used to build pyramids?
    Not if anyone in possession of their faculties knows that the two types of pyramid look nothing like one another and they were used for entirely different purposes.

Good Idea

A doctor has suggested ‘biology critical’ as a more accurate alternative to ‘gender critical’ to use on those who reject the proposition:
    The female sex has a double X.
    If there’s a Y, it’s a guy.
Or maybe even ‘biology deniers’ to be more pejorative?

No mystery

Why would broadcasting icon Jenni Murray feel a need to bet there were no female stonemasons on the job when Salisbury Cathedral was build in the 13th century?
    Everyone knows that bashing stone with a hammer and chisel wasn’t considered ladylike back then. So why bring it up? Unless as a veiled comment on the collapse of social standards over the centuries.

Ancient Technology

An episode of Knight Rider, in which KITT was kidnapped, had our hero pushing a large, flat object into a slot on a computer.
    Which got me wondering if 5 ¼" floppy disks are now so ancient that younger viewers will assume they’re some sort of sophisticated piece of tech rather than an obsolete basic.

Deviation!

It was weird, seeing wall-to-wall episodes of NCIS in the 5USA TV menu last night instead of a long string of episodes of Murder, She Wrote.
    But fear not. Jessica Fletcher is back orchestrating the murders of Americans on Great! TV tonight.

Some Truth at last

Our pal Patrick Chrispy on GB Views gave us some overdue election facts after the 10 p.m. threshold on Friday. He actually pointed out that Labour’s vote was down over 5,000 in one place and level in the other.
    So no swing to Smarmer.
    A little truth drowning in the swamp of political bollocks.

Mindless Garbage

Friday’s TV pundits kept going on about a ‘massive swing’ to Labour in the two by-elections. But the turn-out of voters in both cases was a fraction of that in 2019 and Labour lost over 5,000 votes in one seat and got about the same as last time in the other.
    That’s not people endorsing their cause.
    That’s just Tory voters not bothering wasting their time going to the polls when they know they’ll just have to do it all over again later in the year.
    When their choice will actually mean something.
    And there was Beer Smarmer, lying his head off about a HUGE swing to his party. No, there bloody wasn’t a swing to you. And it was a swing away from you in Kingswood.

Very Weird

Why is it, I wonder, that the Great! TV channel isn’t showing the episodes of The Avengers in the order they were made? Series 5, episode 24, series 6/5 and then series 5/32 was the order for last Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday.
    I suppose we’re just lucky that we don’t get Mrs. Peel and Tara King alternating mysteriously on a daily basis.

Time to get sacking

If the mob at the Ministry of Defence are refusing to recruit white males to our Armed Services on diversity grounds, then it’s time to start handing out P45s wholesale and get thinking people on the job instead of total idiots.

Spare Time to fill up?

Why does the Green party think it has to spend so much time on the side of the people involved in the gender war? Do the leaders of the Greens think there’s so little they need to do on the environment front that they need to get involved in other people’s causes to keep them occupied?

Deliberate BBC lie?

We were told yesterday that the Tories lost votes to Labour in this week’s by-elections. But compared to 2019, the Labour vote fell by over 5,000 in one constituency and remained much the same in the other.
    Where’s the evidence of Tories voting Labour? None.

The XL Bully Approach

Sue Grey, the former civil servant who stitched up Boris, is getting more stick, this time from the Labour party staffers who were suspected of leaking the Beer Starmer U-turn on the zillion-billion greenwash splurge.
    Now we know why the bods at Downing Street were so glad to see the back of her.

Plain Useless

It seems to be well known that the Ministry of Defence asks for tenders for a new project and having awarded it to some lucky company, starts switching the specifications in a totally demented fashion so that everything zooms over budget and beyond the delivery date.
    If this is so well known, how come the government doesn’t have the good sense to sack the entire crew at the Ministry of Defence and start again with people of proven intellect?
    They could almost abolish income tax with the savings.

Star Swindle

You have to give total garbage one star when you do an online review. You can’t do Net Zero approval with no stars, or even specify a negative number.
    Any rating system which doesn’t let you do total disapproval is not fit for purpose. And this seems apply to all of them.

No lessons on offer

There will be a lot of wibble wobbled about yesterday’s by-election results, even though they are entirely meaningless with a general election looming later in the year and one of the constituencies destined to vanish.

Pointless Padding

I do wonder about all the blah the BBC dishes up between the end of Bargain Hunt and the lunchtime news, which is what I switched on for.
    Does anyone immediately dash off the the blah? Can’t say I remember any of it by the time I’ve done the national and the regional news.

Passing thought

Why does Patrick Chrispy tell us he’s only on GB Views? If that’s where he works, why would be he anywhere else?
    And why does he think that constitutes some sort of recommendation? Sounds like he needs to get someone competent to write his promo quickies.

Even more lack of equality

It’s a human right to spout conspiracy theories about everything except the regime in Israel, which is led by a bloke who should be on trial for corruption.
    How did that come about?
    No doubt the 21st century will end up in the history books as the Age of Confusion.

More of it

Nice to know that we have an Equality & Human Rights Commission which thinks the rights of biological sex deniers trump those of everyone else.
    It just confirms what we know – that this and similar organizations have Net Zero contact with reality, and they exist just to stuff taxpayers’ cash into the pockets of the unworthy.

Having a larf

The Chinese plague ‘inquiry’ really is having a bloody good one at the taxpayer’s expense if it managed to blow the massive sum of £78,000,000 on its pratting about in 2023.

Eyes boggling

You read it and you have to read it again to make sure it does say what you think you’ve seen. Beer Starmer really, actually claiming that his £140B of greenwashing would save the planet’s climate.
    The guy is a stark, staring looney, who needs locking up in a deep dark hole if he really believes that.
    Or he belongs in the Guinness Book of Records as the world’s most incompetent political liar.

All at it?

Is there anyone who’s a bit foreign who isn’t a spy for China, Iran or some other unfriendly country? I get the impression that these countries could be quite well off if they’d just stop wasting their GDP on trying to interfere with everyone else.

Fake argument

The Home Secretary’s virtue-flagging about making climbing on war memorials illegal doesn’t do anything about the real problem. There are laws about causing a public nuisance and vandalism.
    But the police can’t be bothered to arrest the criminals and the courts keep letting them off.
    To be really Cleverly, the Home Sec. needs to send the Army out to bust idle coppers and court stooges and keep them in a deep dark hole until they realize they need to be doing the jobs they’re paid to do.

Very Dodgy

That 500 mph Storm film is a hoot. I always look out for the problem family tear-arseing along a road with a HUGE black storm on their tail and cars on the other side of the road whizzing towards the monster, totally unconcerned.

Red Card

Patrick Chrispy isn’t much of a referee on his GB Views show. He let the Labour stooge lie and lie again about Ms Ghey being in the Commons chamber when Beer Starmer was doing his bogus outrage rant and making her child’s murder all about him.

Brain Disengaged?

You can tell how out of touch Lord Blunkett, sacked former New Labour minister, is with reality if he thinks lessons will be learned from how Beer Smarmer ditched his foolish greenwashing plan. The thing about politics is that they keep on keeping on doing the daftness and never learn lessons.

Painful realization

Oh, crap! It’s a leap year. That means an extra day of boring gits like Beer Smarmer going on and one and on.

Not a world record

Doing my recording of Super Bowl LIIX (to use the new-style Roman numbering system, which is one less character than LVIII) took nearly three-quarters of an hour.
    It would have been only an hour and a half but for the overtime and some additional back-tracking and replays.
    The San Francisco 49ers started off the better team but blew up at the end. The Kansas City Chiefs proved that lucky buggers can actually prosper.

Some Relief

Getting anything done online was a real pain earlier this morning. Could it be that the Sun has dried out the soggy bits of the Virgin Media system and that’s why things are rosy again?

They got away with that?

Skipping through the Femail section of the Daily Disaster and taking in the prices of often ghastly clothing on show, the phrase: “They sure saw her coming!” springs to mind as I continue on in search of something aimed at me.

Me, Me, Me

Isn’t it great, being a newspaper columnist who can dig an incident out of your own life to make something that’s happened to someone well know; a king, for instance; all about you?
    Saves all the bother of having to make something up.

Mission Impossible

‘Tear Here’ is says on the wrapper of Sainbury’s own brand shortbread, which is very good. But you can’t bloody tear here because the wrapper had been built especially to prevent it.
    Nice.

Wrong sort of immigrant

The population of Ulster were invaders from Scotland, who arrived several centuries ago, which is why the Catholic South has felt entitled to blow them up.
    Now, the Southerners want to amalgamate the two parts of the island because a lot of them are worried about being a minority in their own country thanks to immigration from beyond Europe. Suddenly, the Scots are acceptable!

Opinions may vary

How many of the 100 films “you have to have seen at least once” have I avoided?
    46.
    Not bad going, eh?
p.s. Not a mention of The Dam Busters. Curious.

Weird Bunch

The more I see of Creaking Joe Biden on the news, the more amazed I am that the Democrats are hell-bent on living up to their donkey symbol by trying to keep him going for another term as president.
    He may have lucid periods but he does keep on going into his 93 cents short of a dollar mode. Which is nothing but embarrassing for an alleged head of state.

Dopey nit-pickers

You’re going to build a 28-foot Eiffel Tower model out of matchsticks. Is it reasonable to expect you to go to your local supermarket and buy box after box and get rid of the fire-hazard heads instead of buying| headless matches in bulk from a manufacturer?
    That’s what the clowns currently in charge of the Guinness Book of Records confronted the constructor with; a requirement to use only matches on sale.
    It took a good shower of derision to make them see sense.
    Never would have happened with the McWhirter brothers in charge.

Shoo in!

Come the Nafta Awards, Beer Smarmer is a dead cert for the Worst Whinge of the Decade Award for his “Phantom of the Gallery” whinge at the prime minister.

Groan!

Another day of dead-slow internet access from Virgin Media. Is it a result of all the rain we’ve had in the last few days? Their fibre tunnels and connection systems soggy?

How NeatFlix will do it

Prime Minister: “Mr. Speaker, we are grateful that Ms Ghey was not in the Chamber to hear the leader of the party opposite’s hissy attempt to make the murder of her child all about himself.”
Speaker: “Order, order.”
Beer Smarmer: “Three pints, please.”
Prime Minister: “Further, Mr. Speaker, I would like to point out that the Erskine May rules forbid references to visitors in the galleries of this Chamber. Something one would expect the Speaker to know.”
Speaker, screechily annoyed by being caught in the act: “Order, Ordah! I must have order.”
Prince Hairy (from the visitors’ gallery): “What about my pain?”
Pandemonium in the Chamber.

What to make of this?

The bunch in charge of the EU are being accused of trying to end agriculture in Europe, making the bits in the EU dependent on imports from abroad for all the food needed.
    And the reason why this is being done is so that the EU bosses can claim a reduction in its carbon quota and point fingers at the food producers, who are still shoving carbon dioxide into the atmosphere to keep the world’s populations fed.
    Brain removed before taking on a job in the EU?

Wave a flag!

It can be argued that felines are more intrinsically virtuous than humans. The Mansion cat has never shown any interest in the internet, and she looks on a PC or laptop keyboard as a possible short cut to her next destination if a pesky human doesn’t get in her way.

Well deserved

Andrew Doyle is in line for a Hissy, Bossy Freak Award for the way he chairs the late-night comedy show Headliners on GB Views.
    Him and his Blue Card.

Oh, joy!

Another slow internet day, despite 5 bars on the display at the bottom of the screen to indicate that the laptop is getting the full attention of the router.

Political Poinlessness

So what if Beer Smarmer jumps through the hoops erected by ayatolla-wannabes in Labour constituencies with a Moslem majority. Who making decisions in and for the Middle East is going to take any notice is he starts agitating for a cease fire in Gaza?

Also Gone

Something else that has dropped out of the news like the war in Gaza is the eternal silly circus which is the Chinese plague ‘inquiry’ in England. Is it in recess? Or is Posturing Pete, the lead council for the inquiry, still performing and missing the attention he used to get?

Just trying it on, as usual

The murder victim’s mother wasn’t in the public gallery at the Commons when the PM listed Smarmer’s defects, so dragging her into Smarmer’s attempt to play the victim card was just contemptible.
    Will he apologize? He’s a politician and a lawyer. What do the truth and facts matter to him?

Worst Possible Taste

“Go deeper than the headlines” is urging the Daily Disaster’s readers to wallow in podcasts about savage killers.
    Rather sick, is it not?

Odd Choice

British Gas is running adverts for reduced price electricity that feature a stony-faced bloke who looks as approachable as the average blockbuster film serial killer out on a job. I’d love to see the pitch BG got for the lad!
p.s. Terms & Conditions apply. Do they include your next-of-kin being obliged not to kick up a stink if the serial killer bloke adds to his trophy cabinet?

No steps forward

“This is no time for changeling pride on the promenade.” A quote from a 1999 episode of Deep Space Nine.
    Vexatious minorities just keep on being vexatious; more so now that they assume it’s expected of them.
    Which indicates that the Age of Enlightenment is as far away as ever.

Go Slow

Getting onto the Blogger website to post something new is a real struggle today. Is it the Iranians? Or the Russians at it?

This is a benefit?

Multiculturalism invites us to accept that if it’s okay for a bloke to throw some corrosive chemical into the face of a woman in Afghanistan, then it’s okay for Afghans living here to do it here. I don’t remember signing up for that.

Must be true

It has been pointed out that train drivers will lose more cash from not being paid on strike days than they’d make from an achievable pay rise. They really must be well overpaid if that doesn’t bother them.
    It certainly explains why there’s no sign of anyone going on strike against the union boss who won’t let them vote on the latest pay offer.

Odd Silence

Israel’s assault on Gaza seems to have dropped out of the TV lunchtime news. Cease-fire in effect? No one interested any more? Or an embarrassingly – for Israel – high body count?

Interesting question

The global warming fraudsters were eager to blame a wildfire in Scotland when our neighbour almost had a day at 20 deg.C in January.
    It’s not going to be easy to do it again with all the rain that’s been drowning everywhere since Sunday. But is that going to stop them?
p.s. The fire was cause by a defective power line, but they are fraudstars who were making the claim.
    Or they think they’re stars! Opinions may vary.

Familiar Territory

It’s just like old times for pensioners, they tell me. They grew up ‘living in the shadow of the Bomb’ until the Soviet threat died down.
    Now, they’re ‘living on the eve of World War III’, according to the newspaper pundits who are trying to cook it up with Russia, China, North Korea or Iran as the enemy.

Grimly Reaped

A D.D. correspondent was asking about the fate of a German bloke who tried a right-wing coup before A. Hitler.
    The obvious answer is that he’s dead; him and everyone who knew him after all this time.

The Fickleness of Fame

One of the Daily Disaster’s significant events for last Friday was the death of an American actor of a drug overdose at 46 back in 2014.
    Looked at the name and . . . nothing.
    Never heard of him.

The wrong sort of people

The Cabinet ran out of fingers when the Prime Minister tried to calculate how many millions of pounds we have to spend on civil servants on long-term sick leave.
    Sounds like robustness needs to be emphasized in the selection process as a matter of urgency. We don’t need people who will fall over, stricken, when a Minister points out that they’re doing a lousy job.

Okay till the end

After watching Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) last nite, we were left wondering where it was exactly that Noah sailed the Ark of the Covenant.

p.s. Wot a totally ludicrous ending. No wonder the Mansion cat decided to go out for a lurk at that point, just before the Ark was stashed in Warehouse Thirteen.

One for the record book

Wonder of wonders! I actually saw an episode of Murder, She Wrote that I didn’t remember seeing before on the Great TV channel on Sunday.

Never anything useful

I see NASA is warning that the asteroid that whizzed past us at a distance of 180,000 miles last week is a ‘potential threat’, and if a collision on its travels deflects its orbit enough, it could take out the whole of the Midland if it hit England.
    That would do a lot for the measles epidemic!
    But you can never rely on external natural phenomena doing anything that benefits the human race.

And the agenda is?

The people who claim to know reckon that the electorate won’t vote for a bloke with a beard as an MP, and candidates are being told to have a shave if they’re a beardie.
    Or is this another part of the campaign to get more female MPs? You don’t see many real women with a beard.

Some order restored

After yesterday’s struggles, getting to places on the internet is suddenly easy again.
    Do the customers appreciate being messed around? Nope. Have they come to expect it from every direction? Yep!

Wilful Ignorance?

How come the Daily Mail’s quick crossword compiler has never learnt that treacle and golden syrup are two completely different products?
    Some people just won’t live in the real world.
    Either that, or he/she is after the Bozo of the Year Award. Definitely not someone you’d trust with the grocery shopping!

Time-waster

Why is it that set dressers for TV series think that the bad guy will always knock every picture on every wall askew when doing over a joint? Total waste of time. Or do they get a fine for not following custom & practice?

Trump fence needed?

The anti-vaxers in the West Midlands have done a great job of creating a local measles epidemic.
    No chance of making them all stay at home until they’ve sorted it to avoid contaminating the rest of us, of course. That would make too much sense.

Sounds Okay

“Should we be naming kids who kill?” Patrick Chrispy asked last night on GB Views.
    Why not if they’re feral animals who should be locked up forever if they can’t be shipped to the US for some nitrogen.

Grrr! Again

I don’t know what the mob that took over Virgin Media are up to but my internet service was crap all week up to Friday.
    Actually being able to get straight through to websites now has the flavour of something miraculous.
    Wrote too soon; it’s crap again today.

Unwreckable now

Archbish Welby claims exporting illegals to Rwanda would damage Britain’s reputation and the rule of law. Has no one told him that his obsessive ranting has turned his church into a laughing stock as well as booting our country’s rep in the goolies?
    Ears wide shut to criticism, like the rest of the looney Left?

Indignation wasted

I noticed that a bottle of alcoholic fruit-based delight was looking in danger of running out and headed to the WWW for another supply. Only to be amazed by the price that the first supplier on the list was charging.
    Nearly 30 quid for a 50 cl bottle!
    Outrageous!
    Then I spotted that they didn’t actually have any of the creme de casis variety in stock.
     Which means they could have stuck £130 as the price of an unobtainable bottle on their website and really wound up potential customers.

Expectations NOT met

We had a very red sky at sunset last night. Not that many delighted shepherds around early on today. The Sun did come out when the shoppers left on an expedition but it parked behind some clouds the moment they got home.

Desperation time

Unable to scare us with a storm heading for the UK, the weather bloke had to resort to one that battered Norway.
    Anything to keep the climate emergency scam going, eh?

Mix it up a bit!

After all the fuss about Scotland basking in a temperature of nearly 20 degrees for part of a day, we’re back to Yellow Weather. Which is boring. Don’t they have any other colours to throw at us to give us a bit of variety?

Strange silence

Has Michael Gove stopped plotting & planning to overthrow the leaders of the Tory party? Or have the media mob who keep claiming that’s how he spends his day found something else to make up stories about?

Will it work?

The United States is talking about letting us look after some of their nuclear bombs again.
    Which sounds like a great idea if it discourages Putin the Poisoner from starting this war we’re supposed to be having with Russia in the next 5-8 years.

Back-stabbing!

Is it proof that you really hated the job if you’re a former BA flight attendant and you offer a list of a dozen ways really to annoy cabin crew?

Logical development

If uninvited migrants can be shipped out of the UK to Rwanda or elsewhere, could we apply the same policy to evil killers?
    Ship them off to Alabama to be executed out of the range of the UK’s bleeding hearts and grasping lawyers?

No big deal

Is it anything wonderful that Northern Ireland will be getting a devolved government again? Having seen what a mess the ones in Scotland and Wales are doing of the job, not really.
    If the people of Ulster have managed to do without Stormont for a couple of years, that just underlines how unnecessary and parasitic the inmates are.
