Lethal climate

Freezing Florida is experiencing a downpour of iguanas. The reptiles are becoming too chilled to cling on to the trees where they roost and falling to the ground in thousands. Helpful citizens are scooping them up for disposal and the state’s euthanasia services are struggling to keep up with the demand.

What’s the real beef?

The lawyer trying to extract cash from Prince Andrew is upset and moaning that the Royal Family has stripped his target of his titles and made him unable to thrust millions of dollars into the pockets of lawyers, and deprived said lawyers of justice; i.e. hard cash. Sue King Chuck instead if he’s still got plenty?

Expert on the job

Maramé Colón, the Minister for Degeneracy, has been put in charge of dealing with the Mandelsleaze Embarrassment. His main qualification appears to be that it takes one to know one; something which is common currency in politics.

Skiving for all

The honco of the National Education Union wants school teachers to have the ’uman bluddy right to skive off during term time to go to the likes of the Glastonbury Festival.
    Another alibi for more strikes, not having this ‘right’?

Woke Schmustice

If you’re a bus driver who sorts out a violent thief and retrieves a necklace stolen from a female passenger, what do you get?
    If you work for Metroline in London, the sack for bringing the company into disrepute. [with the criminal community?]

File under ‘B’ for Boneheaded

Shamed Andrew in ‘midnight flit’ from Royal Lodge, yelled the headline. But it was under a picture of Prince Andrew on a horse in full daylight.
    Credibility destroyed. Obvious junk journalism. Especially if moving his stuff will take weeks, which makes it definitely not an out-and-gone flit.

One way street

It’s rather weird, the way the meeja mob go on about ‘the survivors of J. Epstein’s abuse’.
    The implication is that he was in the habit of having those who fell into his orbit killed when they had served their purpose, and only the lucky ones got away.
    But, of course, someone who’s dead can’t sue a wise guy for libel and there is a great need of stuff to put between the adverts.
