The real loser in this election has been Boris. And prepare for an SNP psycho drama.
- 9 May 2015
There are two very disappointed men in Westminster, Boris Johnson and Graham Brady. This was to be their moment. After a gruelling election where there was no overall majority, a weak and wounded Cameron was to be given the pearl handled revolver and bottle of whisky by the 19...
We no longer judge politicians on straight answers but on their level of obfuscation. Farage was sinister. Cooper out of touch . Clegg revealing
- 3 May 2015
Yvette Cooper, Nigel Farage and Nick Clegg were very revealing in their obfuscation on Marr today. It is strange that we don’t judge a politician on straight answers any more, just their degree of opaqueness. Cooper can’t admit the obvious that any government putting through ...
Cozying up to anarchist chic is a terrible mistake. Brand will do what he does best. Take the piss
- 29 Apr 2015
Until Russell Brand became the David Icke of politics I used to find him rather funny. Years ago my kids bought me the DVD of his stand up routine on wanking which still stands up pretty well. I particularly enjoyed his shtick about the attractions of the nozzle belonging to a...
Don't just worry about Sturgeon. Socialism will be on the March with an Orc army of UNITE puppet MPs
- 26 Apr 2015
It’s only old farts like me who remember the death throes of the Callaghan minority government. The trouble is it was not a government at all, it was an enormous pork barrel where the meat was pretty rancid. And every minority party demanded a share. I remember dear old Merly...
The DPP was right not to prosecute Janner. But we need to know who made the decsion not to prosecute years ago and why
- 18 Apr 2015
As there is such a lot of misinformation about the Lord Janner case whizzing about on social media I thought it might be helpful to give a brief guide as to what has happened. The DPP, Alison Saunders, has played this one by the book. The first test is on the available evidenc...
Lady Macbeth is alive and well. 'Fair is foul and foul is fair' should be the SNP campaign slogan
- 17 Apr 2015
I always thought that Alex Salmond was a slippery devil and a serious political operator, but compared to the malevolent force of nature that is embodied in Sturgeon he is a pussycat. At least he would slip in the stiletto with a smile. The really scary thing about her is that...
When Miliband was undermining Blair for Brown he used to be referred to as the emissary from planet fuck
- 7 Apr 2015
The trouble with the modern election is that we are all being bombarded on the social media with so much information, disinformation, scams, red herrings, dead herrings and total unbelievable bollocks that even an old cynic like me sometimes feels that my head is going to expl...
Sturgeon has the aura of a charming down to earth mum in a teen scream movie who is secretly experimenting on barely living bodies in the cellar
- 3 Apr 2015
Well, at least nobody tanked. Cameron did well, Miliband was a bit flat, Sturgeon feisty, Farage repulsive and Clegg charmed the pants off of everyone. I know that some of his critics say that his performance was no more than a repeat of 2010 and maybe it was. But he swatted M...
Who Scares Wins
- 1 Apr 2015
God, this is a depressing, awful, nasty and brutish election. And we have only just started. If 2010 was about compassion (well, a bit), this should be sub headlined, Who Scares Wins. Every party is determined to frighten the bejeebers out of the electorate. So far the sub tex...
At least Ed didn't stab himself in the eye with a biro and kept his trousers from falling to his ankles. For party managers a success.
- 27 Mar 2015
The highlight of last night’s Roman Circus was watching the grade A bitch fight between Caroline Flint and Liz Truss on Newsnight. The personal loathing between the two of them oozed like a slow acting poison through our screens. The sad thing is that they were both equally a...
