So. English football is an unsustainable pyramid scheme which steals from ordinary English folk and uses their wealth to bring immigrants into the country. One would imagine that UKIP would be all over this... news.sky.com/video/footba...

It's all on you, members of the British public, to solve the climate crisis, and I'm giving you 43p each to do so.

This made me smile, attached to an ordinary cast iron drainpipe on a house in Durham. #TinyJoys
A cast iron drain pipe going down the side of a white-painted house.  A crest of red feathers and a bright orange beak made from something solid have been attached around it.  It looks remarkably like "Feathers McGraw", the evil criminal penguin from The Wrong Trousers.

With Britain looking increasingly like a failed state, incapable of good government, this process is entirely natural. The next question is: Will Westminster allow peaceful and democratic exits?

It'll be another miserable Winter of cold homes and failing businesses due to expensive energy. Don't blame Putin/the USA/Iran as taught. Blame instead the many decades of British misgovernment that left us so exposed to gas prices.

For the first time since 2014, a British Prime Minister has accepted that a referendum should take place when there is majority support for independence, as is the case in Northern Ireland. I have written to him to discuss how we turn that principle into a legal mechanism.

The Alba Party was an early warning of how elderly and senescent people's minds can be broken by too much online activity. Thankfully, it failed quickly and comically and disastrously. But its successors will keep coming. They will keep coming...

Today’s poem is called ‘Morrissey’s Fridge’.

Morrissey’s Fridge
 
Morrissey 
was filled
with sudden 
self-doubt,

as he shut 
his fridge door –
did the light 
never go out?
