No sooner is one column filed than the relentless stream of nonsense, irritations and wokery floods in again. Today I cover the Gorton and Denton by-election, more Covid bollocks this time from Greece (and courtesy of our other Hull columnist) and colour-blind casting. The Halal-Organic coalition Quite what just happened in the Gorton and Denton by-election is […]

I am delighted by the news that it will soon be acceptable to discriminate against disabled people (sorry, that should be ‘people with disabilities’). How often have you fumed as one of the wheelchair classes is wheeled to the front of the queue when boarding a plane or, in fact, whisked past you in almost
As-salamu alaykum. Thanks to a local friend and fellow TNC columnist who pays much closer attention to current affairs than I do, I get the occasional snippet that, otherwise, I would have missed. Muslims making a mint As this is the most holy, glorious and venerable month of Ramadan, we must all do our bit to

There are many ways to describe Finding Harmony, the King’s earnest cinematic meditation on the state of the planet. Perhaps the most accurate is endless eco-drivel. The film opens in the usual manner: soft light; hushed voiceovers; and the sense that something profoundly important is about to be said. We are told about the great
Global warming is really taking its toll up here in the East Riding of Yorkshire. It’s freezing cold again and makes the actual man cave bearable only for the shortest of visits with the Dyson heater at full blast and as high a temperature as it is capable of. One of these days Mrs Watson

I am sitting in the man cave besieged by a legion of brass monkeys, wearing two face masks and praying that my GP will not have run out of flu jabs before I can get down there and roll my sleeves up. We are entering – indeed we may already be in the midst of
