Supermarkets raked in £500 million/day over Xmas was the headline glimpsed when some newspapers were being consigned to the blue bin. Which means what? They mugged the punters and some Puritan thinks they should be taxed into oblivion to fund Labour’s armies of scroungers?
Feet On The Ground

Not him, for sure
Half of the electorate want to see Labour ditch Bier Smarmer as its party leader. A quarter want Jonah Burnham to replace him. And another quarter don’t want any of the usual suspects as the new leader, including Wee Streeting, Jonah and Angrier Robot.
Something to look forward to
Driverless cars are being given The Knowledge to let them operate and navigate in the London area. The company involved is owned by Gooble and has several franchises operating right now in cities in the Untied States.
More cash darn the drain
Ambulance-chasing lawyers get 4 times more money in legal fees than their customers get from the NHS in compensation for negligence and damage.
The government (lotz of lawyers) is dragging its feet over limiting how much lawyers can be paid for low-value claims.
Sauce for the gander?
If there has to be an Act of Parliament to remove his peerage from the Mandelsleaze for cosying up to the dead Mr. Epstein, could they also add a clause removing his AoP pension for his term as Director of Public Prostitutions from Bier Smarmer on the grounds that it is totally undeserved?
Lest we forget, he and coppers of dubious merit wasted a lot of time and our money on trying to stitch up entertainers and Tory politicians for child abuse and even murders on the testimony of now gaoled fantasists. If letting your country down is sauce for the Mandelsleaze, it’s also sauce for the Smarmer.
Second Tier Better
Wigs for bald women should be VAT-free as they are medicinal not cosmetic and an aid for the disabled. A First Tier tax tribunal ruled against the wig-makers but an appeal to the Second Tier delivered the goods.
But is there a Third Tier for the VAT mob to go to now?
Shock, Horror!!
Mandelson’s Brazilian buddy was photographed carrying a giant packet of washing powder on Monday. Is this the end of civilization as we know it?
Or it it just Smarmer orchestrating Mandelsleaze to deflect attention from his failure to get anything out of the Chinese despite all the grovelling he did there? Is it him trying to cover up his own history of communism?
