I’m working hard to avoid seeing the Neatflix series about a killer kid. Unfortunately, lots of others seem to be doing their best to erode my uniqueness by not watching it either. Incel or gencel – genetically celibate through being too repulsive for any self-respecting female to want anything to do with them?

Safe bet?
The speculators reckon that there’s a 50:50 chance that Freebie Reeves, our wonderful Chancellor, will be back with more tax rises in the autumn.
But what are their odds that she’ll still be in the job then?
Stranger than fiction
What has the government really been doing with the Winter Fuel Allowances grabbed off pensioners? Three of the allowances were awarded to a Labour MP, who put her pet dog on her Parliamentary expenses.
As Little John of the Daily Disaster tells us, you couldn’t make it up.
Strange Reticence
Hundreds of thousands of people are being forced into poverty by the government’s tax grabs and welfare cuts, we are being told. But no one ever quotes the numbers that constitute poverty, either as a weekly or annual income.
I wonder what the reason for that is. Could it be that a lot of the ‘poverty’ is relative, and for every person in dire straits, there are thousands unable to afford holidays abroad and the like?

Just fantasy
Freebie Reeves is claiming that the world is in a state of flux; or all fluxed up; and that’s why the wheels have come off her financial plans.
And yet she’s promising families will be £500 better off by the end of the current Parliament. Which has to be almost twice as big a lie as Edstone Miliband’s £300 quid off energy bills.
Yecch!
Is there a more stoopid TV advert than the one with the upside down mouth in the middle of a forehead? Whatever it’s for, I’m not buying!
Zedmed lives!
But only in the trailers for current T.J. Hooker episodes. The Legend channel has not been bothered about updating.
