Happy New Year 2020

Well here are again .....

From A Time When Kids Were Simpler To Please .....

Fast approaching the last day of 2019. Another year older, and possibly wiser ...

Weeding Out Malcontents

Having some civic pride in your surroundings,

Mesen In Belgium Has Civic Pride ....

... particularly the public spaces of your location, is often what separates the civilised from the uncivilised amongst us.

Twitter Wars

The erratic foreign policy decisions of Donald Trump ..... especially over the decision to betray the Kurds to the Ottoman Caliph, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and start another Middle East war, has led to a lot of bitter accusations ....

According to reports, Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan put US President Donald Trump's letter "in the bin", and attacked the US's former allies in Northern Syria.

The Blame Game

The Left-Wing Corbyn grass root and political supporters in the UK are clearly deluded .... many actually believe that the reason why Labour has just lost the 2019 general election was .....

Why's Everybody Always Picking On Me ... Jeremy

.... wait for it, BBC anti-Corbyn bias!!

Happy Christmas 2019

Well another year has passed on this blog .....

Mountie McGrew Warned That Xmas Pudding Thefts
Were Rife In The Klondike

And Christmas has rolled round again .....

Cat Mules

Question: When is a cat a mule?

Cat Mules Are Common In Russia ....

Answer: No its not a type of Jackalope, its when its carrying drugs.

Coals To Newcastle

When I was a kid, we used to have an expression "Coals To Newcastle" ....

Coals To Newcastle Is An Old Trope ...

... Which an expression pointing out superfluous or pointless actions.

When The Dust Settles

Well the log-jam was well and truly broken ...

Boris Johnson - An Natural Born Election Winner

.... and the electoral force that is Boris Johnson has been unleashed on Britain.

Germany Trembles

Yes Germany trembles .....

Germans Love A Sausage ... But At What Price?.

... But not at the thought of Boris Johnson being UK Premier, not at Brexit and the threat to their car sales in the UK, nor in excitement at the thought that the summer battle of the poolside beds in Europe's hotspots maybe a bit easier if British tourist numbers drop .... not even the end of Mother Merkel's long reign as leader.

Coke Capital

Such is the prevalence of drug usage in our druggie society, that Londoners consumed over 8 tons of cocaine last year ....

Casual Cocaine Usage Is On The Rise In The UK ..... Even On First Dates.

.... the cost of this to its inhabitants is over £1 billion per annum.

Two Shootings Tell The Real Story

We all know about the mass school shootings in the US ....

Gunmen Stalking US Schools ....

.... and while they are shocking, we kind of assume that these school shooting events are kind of bi-annual.

And The Winner Is

By the time this post is published ....

One Of These Would Be King ..... Left Or Right

... the British voter will have spoken and likely chosen one of these two men to lead us.

Trust The Broadcasters?

When Diane Abbott spoke publicly about her son when she was running for the Labour leadership in 2010 ...

The Scion of Privilege?

She defended her decision to give him a private education at a £10,000-a-year City of London School, that was denied to her constituents in Hackney North and Stoke Newington.

Plastic Love

Some men are just bloody strange .... or maybe just eccentric.

Life Long Bachelor Everard Cunion ...

Everard Cunion (really!!, that's his name), is 62 years old. He lives alone ...

A Very Silly Case

The US's love of litigation is well known ....

A Shoney's In Florida

.... but perhaps, even in the legal annals of Florida there has not been a more stupid case than this one.

A Woman's Place

The Arts Council of Pakistan has traditionally, like all other institutions in that country, been an all male affair.

Male Chauvinism Rules .... OK?

So when it decided to organises a discussion in November 2019 on feminism called Feminism: The Other Perspective, it did what it has always done and invited only an all-male panel. Oh, they did have one token woman, discussion host Uzma al-Karim, whose name featured at the bottom of the promotional literature.

Dirty Old MP?

Recently elected Tunisian MP, Zouheir Makhlouf and human rights advocate found himself at the centre of a #MeToo storm.

Explaining It To The Wife, May Not Have Been Easy ....

.... after a photo was taken of him with his trousers pulled down, ointment or cream on one hand, in a car outside a girls high school.
