The Frank Report VII

It is with regret that a sombre mood has gripped us this week, and the jokes are a bit thin on the ground. First we had the (thankfully false) rumours that her Majesty had died after contracting Covid. Rumours first circulated by the blog, Hollywood Unlocked, who quickly apologised for the story; but not before […]

Putting up with self-assembly

It is a hard-earned perk of old fogeyhood, that one has long-ceased to accept homework from those in authority. While in small doses homework may be harmless enough, prolonged exposure to the substance leads to serious long-term complications. Indeed, several cohorts of mine were so brutalised by the harridans who dispense the stuff, they actually

Mount Everest too white?

It seems the perpetually-offended are having to go the extra mile these days. With almost all aspects of culture already decried as too white, grievance campaigners are getting creative. Perhaps there will come a day when North Korea rightly faces international opprobrium for its inexcusable whiteness, but until such time, it’s good to see the

The return of Lutfur Rahman

The Frank Report VI

Gender’s a tricky subject these days, with boys and girls encouraged to chop and change the contents of their pants like we used to collect Panini stickers. That’s worked out well for ‘transgender’ swimmer Lia Thomas though, who broke the Ivy League 500M freestyle record so clearly, she had time for a shower and a

Meghan Markle, Femme Fatale

There’s more than a grain of truth to the words, behind every great man is a great woman. But personally, I set greater store by the lesser-known aphorism, behind every pansified castrato, lies a malicious, megalomaniacal Z-lister. This appears something of a running sore amongst England’s finest swains of late, hostage as they are to

Tea with Steve Laws

Steve Laws was one of the first people to report on the growing tide of illegal immigration along the south coast. He also stood for UKIP in the recent Southend West by-election, campaigning ‘to offer the normal people a voice.’ We caught up with him over tea, and asked about the current situation at Dover,

The Frank Report V

Good news this week for GCSE and A-level students, who are going to be graded ‘more generously’ in 2022 to make up for the Covid disruption. Examinations will be limited to a single question, asking pupils to indicate which grade they identify with.  Glad tidings too for Jess Phillips, who was reportedly paid £15k for
