When it was announced that Covid-19 was going to wipe out the human race, I cowered in my house; determined to drink myself to death before the virus got me. Having done my liver irreparable damage in the process, I was dismayed to learn we are not all going to die. Still, I continued drinking, […]

I had never heard of the journalist Dom Phillips and had no idea he was missing; now I hear he is dead, along with his local guide, and identifiable only by dental records. I guess it does not take long for a body to decompose in the Amazon rainforest. But since his death I have

“I’m sorry to announce ladies and gentlemen that your scheduled flight to Rwanda has been cancelled indefinitely” is probably one of the few times passengers have been glad to hear such a message. This week and last, we have been treated to a “will they, won’t they” scenario regarding the planned deportation of 130 illegal
A bunch of Muslim fanatics is protesting about something. Nothing new there, but what is it this time? A teacher daring to show a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed? A pig farm in the middle of Bradford? A string of sex shops opening in predominantly Muslim areas, or has someone else written a book suggesting

“Dear me” is all I can say having watched the Platinum Jubilee Concert broadcast from outside Buckingham Palace and the Mall.

How we laughed when Norfolk Constabulary announced that it was going to recognise 37 sexualities and genders, but it is clear now they were barely scratching the surface. The Civil Service has announced that they are identifying over 100 sexualities and

I read The Irish Times and have read several books about the place. But frankly, I’m buggered if I understand what’s going on there. However,

The nation’s children have recently endured two years of social and educational deprivation. They are now more depressed, less able to socialise, behind with reading and counting and very young ones are having problems with facial recognition and communication. Scare the bejeebers out of them about a virus that they were unlikely to become infected

Scientists have discovered a black hole (or should that be a ‘hole of colour’?) at the centre of our galaxy. I’ll be sure to avoid it when I am out on one of my many intergalactic voyages. If black holes are so fascinating, I suggest we send a few scientists down Whitehall to see if

So, The Doctor in Dr Who is going to be played by Ncuti Gatwa, who is a black Scot of ambiguous sexuality. That’s three oppressed minorities ticked off in one. And before Humberside’s finest boys in blue are round here to ‘check my thinking’, let me fire off a sincere virtue signal. There were rumours
