More of them?

There must be a fair number of duffers in Westminster if our PM was reduced to giving Lord Dave the ex-Leader the job of Foreign Secretary.
    That’s Dave the Duffer, who wants us to believe that Brexit is responsible for all the bogus asylum-seekers and would-be sex industry workers who flood across the Channel.

Sounds Credible

Why are the SNP’s leaders such duffers? According to the expert commentator J. Rees-Mogg, MP, all the clever ones get seats in the Westminster parliament and only the duffers stay at home.
    Which is certainly almost true about the Greens, except that they’re all duffers if they think ending the use of oil and gas here will Save the World.

A whinge too far

One of my correspondents was amused to read that someone was ‘surviving’ on a food budget of £30/week. If you’re not blowing six quid a pop on Marks & Sparks egg & cress sandwiches, and you’re buying and cooking food for yourself, it’s easy to create a varied and enjoyable diet on that amount.

Warned off too late

What exactly is the point of writing a TV review on some load of junk on Channel 4? One that gets only 2 stars? Other than to put the reviewer’s masochistic tendencies on show if he didn’t watch something decent.
    Didn’t watch it myself. I never see anything worth watching on Channel 4.

Mission Unnecessary

Do we really need a new book with a story on why the Beatles split up? It’s just another gimme the money. And you can be sure there’ll be another along with a different story in due course.

Mission Impossible?

The leader of one African country is so outraged by the idea of a ban on hunting trophies here that he threatened to send 10,000 of his country’s unwanted wild elephants to Hyde Park.
    But how can he get them here? They’re a bit big to send out into the Channel on a rubber dinghy, expecting our Border Farce to import them.
    And it’s just a ban on bringing trophies home, not a ban on rich Brits going to Africa to blaze away at the wildlife.

Not the boss

“Yousaf digs in” was the headline in a Saturday paper being recycled. Definitely not going. But a couple of days later, he was gone.
    Which shows exactly how much he was in charge of the SNP mob!
