Cosplaying??? Playing the cos? Splaying in the company of someone else? Not in my dictionary. A typo or something invented to describe Jonah Burnbum’s antics?
Off to Mr, Internet. Blame the Japanese for this contraction of costume playing. And it’s what Jonah and the Sadgeek of a London mayor were doing in Sainsbury uniforms when they were chucking some bread around in an attempt to be noticed.
Feet On The Ground
Saturday, 5 September 2026
New one on me
Massive grab
HMRC has failed to slip out unnoticed, the news that Labour has ripped off holidaymakers for £46 billion in air passenger duty in the year 2025/26. Add on another £1.6 billion for the first financial quarter of 2026.
A minor inconvenience
The Labour ‘crackdown’ on dodgy High Street shops has resulted in the closure of 10% of them. But only temporarily. The organized criminals are still at it big time.
Bonkers, but expected
The green grotters are doing their best to turn Norwich into a laughing stock. Removing the arm rests from public benches to make them more comfortable for dossers is one of their scams. And to hell with oldies and the infirm?
More cash blown
Under Labour, spending on frills at the Home Office is now £42,500 more than the £9,000 the Tories were spending. Branded lanyards and tote bags feature prominently in the list of burrocrapic merchandise.
Today’s Observation
We must be in for a tough time this winter if the Met Office thinks it needs names for storms going up to the letter ‘S’.
Alternatively, we will be getting a lot of sound about reduced levels of fury as the Met Mob seek to maximize the illusion of peril whilst getting on with the task of communicating risks from severe weather more effectively.
Vague is his vogue
It’s official. The Deadleg from the North has confirmed his status. He is all mouth and trousers, and totally clueless. He’s a guesser and just makes another blind guess when things go wrong.
Bambi or bamboozler? Has to be the first if Mr. Empty lacks the decisiveness to reach sensible conclusions.
