The Society welcomes the fact that Durham police are to re-examining Sir Keir Starmer‘s beer and pizza ‘party’ at a constituency stop-off while on the campaign trail at the height of Covid fears in the UK. To the Labour leader, Boris’s own party-time, for which he was fined by the Met Police, has taken up more of …
They blasted canons over her head, idiot grandson Harry dripped sweetness like a cracked coconut, Britain’s secret party-going politicians paid their fines and waved ‘yoohoo’ to her. And The Queen posed with two white horses and had some egg-nog. And then they gave her a Barbie doll! Well, at 96 when you’re not well, grieving …
I’ve not even had an egg-nog for Easter. This religiously-based festival with its focus on chick-chick-chick-chick chickens, chocolate eggs, rubbish telly and bob-tailed bunnies has left my tongue as dry as a pair of the Baby Jesus’s discarded flip-flops.

Despite being 80, locked-down by Covid, cashing in his songs chips and despite facing despicable accusations from a ‘space-woman’… despite being beasted by an estate that should have crashed in the levy, offering up a new book and art collection, the Ol’ Man is on the road again.
