Potholes in the system

Our wonderful prime minister thinks he’s going to tackle the pothole plague by doing a rant at local councils, and then offering 5% less junding for the job than they got last year.

Beyond Two Tier Justice

The nation’s police chiefs want to harmonize their statistics for each grouping in the nation so that arrest and charging records match exactly for each group.
    Which means lenience of a minority which is crime-prone and undue savagery shown to a minority which behaves itself.
    No wonder people are concluding that there ain’t no justice in the justice system with bozos like these in charge.

Busy doing nothing

It’s amazing what can happen in the world of politics. Our dear prime minister has done a lot of sucking up to President Trump in search of trade deal, and go nowhere.
    And after the Trump tariff fest, he’s going to sit on his hands and not respond.
    And somehow, we’re expected to believe that he’s pulled off a masterstroke of politics.
    Right.

Not even close

It’s true, the actors chosen to play the four Beatles in a set of biopix don’t look anything like the bloke they’re pretending to be.
    Some plastic surgery, maybe?

Who’s the athlete?

On the subject of good old T.J., he always has to do a hell of a lot of running to chase after bad guys. Did he have a stunt double to do most of it?
    A star should be able to command one.

Virtue at the taxpayer’s expense

I used to know a local councillor who told me that some council members think it makes them look good if the Town Clerk is paid a ridiculous salary
    Which explains why 4,000 Town Hall staff are on over £100K, plus pension and expenses, and hundreds are paid more than Beer Smarmer gets for being in charge of the entire UK.

Fair question

“Do you have a first name, Callaghan?” the Six Million Dollar Man once asked Oscar’s diminutive aide.
    “Yes,” she replied.
    I wonder if you’d get the same response from T.J. Hooker!

Mugs Galore

You have to be really desperate for attention to splosh loads of money on a handbag that looks like a cornflakes packet or a slice of pizza. Luckily for the people who turn this stuff out, there are lots of attention-seekers with lots of spare dosh around.

Trivial in comparison

We’re supposed to have problems with obesity, but the Indians have us totally beat!
    The government of India reckons it will have 440 million obese people in 2050 because the city dwellers are scoffing junk food. And 800 million people living in poverty on meagre state hand-outs.

Distorted values

How curious that our wonderful Chancellor thinks it’s a good idea to take cash away from carers, who do essential work, but not from those who choose not to have anything to do with work.
    But expecting good sense from politicians is expecting something that rarely happens.

Running out of options

s there anything Trump hasn’t stuck a tariff on? Or is he going to have to resort to sticking tariffs on his existing tariffs to keep on promoting his tough guy image?

Legal conundrum

Is a caution still valid if the cop says “Do you understand these rights as I have read them to you?” if she has actually recited them from memory rather than read a script?

The Chagos Kid

President Trump is said to have given our wonderful prime minister the go-ahead to betray British taxpayers by handing over the Chagos Islands to Mauritius – and also £18 billion that we can’t afford due to Labour’s trashing the economy.
    There’s a theory that Labour hates Britain and that’s why Beer Smarmer and his gang do stuff like this. A very convincing theory. And Uncle Beer doesn’t seem bothered by going down in history as the Chagos Betrayer.

Finally, some sense

Despite the best efforts of the embedded wokes, the Office for National Statistics has finally binned the number of trans people acquired from the 2021 census.
    It has been known for ages that the number is a gross exaggeration as people who didn’t have English as their first language gave meaningless replies. But what do the wokes care about actual facts when they are pushing one of their agendas?

Originality binned

D. Trump has been accused of applying the rules of the George Orwell novel 1984 to the governance of the United States. He has made truth and lies interchangeable according to the convenience of Big Donald. Are the US and Russia going to end up as interchangeable bad guys?

Lost Cause

Is there a museum which still does accurate history? Probably not in London. The London Museum has now gone hopelessly woke and it’s busy putting an anti-whiteness agenda into place as part of the Hate Everything British campaign.

More hot air

Birmingham Council doing the Major Incident act over the streets full of refuse has the aroma of pointless posturing.
    Getting some private contractors; and rath-catchers; in to clear the place up on public health grounds would actually make more sense.

No Sale

That Maltesers ad with ‘the companion’ is pretty diverse and pathetic. Fire the agency, get someone decent. If there is still anywhere that can do a decent TV ad without being woke.

That’s a good one!

Question: Ukraine needs a peace-keeping force; what is the UN doing these days?
Answer: The same as Keep Britain Tidy is doing for the litter-strewn UK.

Oh, well

President Trump has made noises about taking America into the Commonwealth of Nations, hoping that King Charles will dish out an invite. Sadly for Trump, it has been pointed out, any invitation will have to come after a vote of the members; it’s not a Royal Gift; and several of those members are sunk deep into China’s Belt & Braces pocket and not likely to welcome him.

Looking ahead

The Commons Speaker reckons that wokists in his former party are intent on ousting him. Not because of his appetite for junkets at the taxpayer’s expense, but in order to get some really woke wonk into the job before Labour loses the next general election.

On Target

Patrick Chrispys of GB Views got it spot on. All the going on about Ramadan by the usual suspects makes a mockery of all the Islamophobia accusations.
    As far as real people are concerned, it’s just something they’re not bothered about rather than afraid of.

The death of education

The wheels really have come off if a toddler can be chucked out of a nursery school because some idiot thinks the kid has a transphobic attitude. Really? A three- or four-year-old?

Not helping

If the Governor of the Bank of England really thinks the state pension should be means tested, he is clearly unfit to hold a public office and he should be sacked forthwith.
    And no pension for the blighter.
