The State of Play

Despite copious evidence to the contrary, rumours remain rife that Rishi Sunak is still Prime Minister and that the Conservatives are ‘in charge’ of the county. How can this be?

Doctor Who/He/Him 

Doctor Who, or Doctor WTF? as it should probably be called, is no stranger to these pages. With their black Scottish Doctor of ambiguous sexuality played by Ncuti Gadwa, they have already played the woke card at least once. I say ‘at least once’, as I hear they are at it again. And, like all

Of course, I am referring to Wales. For sheer comedy value, Wales truly takes the Welsh Cake. It aspires
