What do Hull in East Yorkshire and Maribor in Slovenia have in common? Hull is a crumbling entrepôt on one bank of the murky Humber River and the other straddles the lovely Drava River in the Slovenian mountains. So, picturesqueness they don’t have in common. House prices are reasonable in both places, but that’s not what I’m driving at. Remarkably, the football teams in both […]

What can be added to the narrative that has ensued the horrible death of Henry Nowak. Our courageous editor has been on the case since the outset, the Prime Minister has spoken, the Leader of the Opposition has spoken, Nigel Farage has spoken (over booing and jeering) and an endless stream of journalists have filled columns. Is there anything

The Caveman is out of the Man Cave for a few days. As I write, I am bound for Vienna but en route to Slovenia; a country so wonderful, picturesque and friendly that I always think I have arrived in paradise. It will be great to be in a virtually hijab-free zone for a few days, albeit not entirely free of that particular

Frank, our editor, has been all over the story of poor Henry Nowak, the 18-year-old student, who drowned in his own blood while having his rights read to him by an officer of ‘the law’. I’ve seen the footage: the officer replied three times, “I don’t think you have mate” even after Henry told him he

The climate emergency has been dealt with in Hull. Temperatures have returned to normal and I firmly believe we have Ed Miliband to thank. It was bad for a few days, but can you imagine how bad it would have been without all those wind farms and solar panels? Incidentally, that does not include the type of solar

There was a very funny message on X at the weekend from some wag calling himself ‘Napoleon’ reporting that he had ‘Just been out for a walk. I didn’t hydrate or put sunscreen on, so I’m dead now.’ Global warming has reached Hull again, and here in the Man Cave it is like an oven. I have reset my air-conditioning unit from

For the public health sceptic, monkeypox is the gift that keeps on giving. Hot off the press is a case that has rocked the worlds of virology and epidemiology, with the monkeypox virus facing accusations of plagiarism. Plagiarism, the deliberate use of the words or ideas of others without attribution while passing them off as

The natural order is restored, and I am back in the man cave after a brief trip to Italy. My invitation to meet Giorgia Meloni for an Aperol Spritz must have got lost in the post somewhere, sadly. Or maybe I am just too left-wing for her. Either way, the clean-up of Italy continues, as I have reported

Those of you who, kindly, follow (and increasingly comment on) my ‘From the man cave’ columns have not misread. The title really reads ‘From the caveman’. I am working in Italy this week and I thought I would be a clever dickie and title my column ‘From the man cave’ in Italian. Turns out, using Google Translate from

It is getting harder by the day to believe the mainstream media, which is saying something, as it has been consistently lying to us for a very long time. They probably excelled themselves during the Covid-19 period when they knew perfectly that the risk from the virus was low and the measures brought in were unnecessary; nevertheless, they
