Ernie, Harold and Eric – random connections between Boris Johnson, milkmen and fridges
When the European Reform Group, the Tory right-wing party-within-a -party, backed Boris Johnson instead of Dominic Raab, they presumably thought that Johnson’s alleged appeal would reel in the voters. A certain type of man admires straight-talking of the posh send-em-home, … Continue reading

Brexit minister Dominic Raab is surprised to discover the importance of the Dover-Calais route
Dominic Raab is Secretary of State for Exiting the EU. Unlike his predecessor, David Davis (“Thick as mince” and “lazy as a toad” as Dominic Cummings called Davis), Raab is neither stupid nor lazy – a degree from Oxford, a … Continue reading
The perfect form of Brexit disaster video
There is a supply of disaster videos which get wheeled out as illustrations for any disaster. The forklift truck knocking down the shelving in a warehouse is a perennial favourite; many involve accidents with trains or other vehicles; some show … Continue reading

David Davis and the suicidal robot – a Brexit parable
Brexit continues to hang over everything, soaking up money, promise and resources which could be spent on advancing the country. The Brexit case unravelled further by the day, but David Davis seemed unperturbed as he resiled step-by-step from the promises, … Continue reading
Principles and patriotism – a Brexit year from Johnson to Leadsom
On a large television screen are two men, obvious shysters by the look of them. One is large, the other small, and they have just discovered that their latest scam has worked a treat and that a lot of people … Continue reading

Dogs at polling stations, Lord Buckethead at declarations: the eccentricities of a UK election
It is said that the recent General Election cost the taxpayer £130 million pounds. Many complain about this. I reckon that this works out at under £5 per voter, and the hours of entertainment which it gave (I watched all … Continue reading

Reverse lebensraum from Theresa ‘doesn’t read much history’ May
The really dim ones – the sort of person who crows about “taking back control” or who whines about the “humiliation” of having a passport which is not blue – will conclude that I am saying that Theresa May is like Hitler. … Continue reading
A team of not-third-raters dealing with a future which is not apocalyptic
How do you parody all this? How can you add mockery to the daily activities of those who rule over us? All you can do is report it, along with some of the comment and cartoons, so we can look … Continue reading

Here we go gathering Nuttall and May: the normalisation of political dishonesty
The purpose of these periodic posts is to collect the follies of those who rule over us as they flow past on Twitter and in the news, illustrated with some of the pictures which stand for a thousand words. If there is … Continue reading

You are ’16 going on ’17 and tomorrow belongs to….well, we have control now, whiners
Two songs from film musicals seemed appropriate as 2016 ticked over to 2017. In The Sound of Music, a cropped-haired young Nazi explains to a naive young girl about ’16 going on ’17. Timid and shy and scared are you … Continue reading

Brown wipe-clean trousers in the hand-cart to Hell
How do you follow a week in which the chief event of note was a Minister of the Crown planning to tackle drones by setting dogs on them? That was my opening shot in last week’s post; this week’s collection … Continue reading
A litany of stupid in politics – Truss, May, IDS and Grayling all in one week
Liz Truss, Iain Duncan Smith, Chris Grayling and, not least, Theresa May, have all contributed this week to the general sense that no-one is actually in control and that the Ship of State is drifting in the hands of people … Continue reading
