The man who was so incensed by foreign politicians interfering in the UK's sovereignty that he ran a twenty year campaign to get us out of the EU will be fummin' at this. He'll be across radio, TV and social media condemning this threat to our overseas territory. www.lbc.co.uk/article/us-b...

Given the daily, "Let's talk about anything but Nigel's £5m!", diversionary statements from Reform UK, how long will it be before Tice or Yusuf will be doing president Esposito's inaugural speech from Woody Allen's 'Bananas'?

Reform UK's latest policy announcement.

It would appear that all the people who were previously ... you know the rest ... are now a combination of Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot, Sam Spade, Father Brown, TinTin, Lord Peter Wimsey, Brother Cadfael and Jonathan Creek. "It's a conspiracy, man!"

To misquote well-known menhir deliveryman, Obelix, "That American is crazy!" ... and, yes, I know the village of indomitable Gauls was located in what is now France, and Goscinny & Uderzo were also French - but the Asterix stories were first published in the Franco-Belgian comic magazine, Pilote. 😉

1) To all the Reform UK MPs and their copycat fanbase ... we don't vote for Prime Ministers. This is basic stuff which you should know. The leader of the party with the most seats fills the post, which is why we got Cameron and Clegg during the coalition government.

I would imagine the man who campaigned for the UK to leave the European Union so we could regain our sovereignty and govern ourselves free from outside interference will be furious that the current American vice-president is telling us our police force has problems. 🤔

"Millions of American small businesses, including corner stores. What is a corner store? I've never heard that term. I know what a corner store is but I've never heard it described ... a corner store. Who the hell wrote that?" The fact you know *exactly* who said this is deeply depressing.

1/ Happy Easter to one and all! Easter is an important festival for Christians, as they mark the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and his resurrection, but the origins of it are entirely pagan. It's generally agreed by historians that Eostre was a pagan goddess in the Saxon religion ...

Apparently, some people are upset that Mr. Bruce Springsteen's recent gigs have contained previously unnoticed political elements. In other news, Pope Leo XIV appears to be the head of a worldwide religious organisation, and bears have been observed engaging in defecation in an arboreal setting.

With the destruction of four ambulances from the Hatzola Northwest fleet in London, plus the crash between an Air Canada plane and a fire engine at New York's La Guardia airport, armchair experts are unsure whether they should be counter-terrorism specialists or air crash investigators. 🤔

We have UKIP, Reform UK, Restore Britain, Advance UK, Britain First, the English Defence League and the National Rebirth Party (no, me neither) all vying for the support of people who love to paint roundabouts and cable tie flags to lamp posts. It's all gone a bit 'Judean People's Front', hasn't it?

If you're a figure from Greek mythology who emerged from an egg laid by your mother Leda, wife of the Spartan king Tyndareus, as a result of her doing the business with the sky and thunder god Zeus (who had disguised himself as a swan ... as you do) you can't be played by a black woman in a film. 🙄

"Siri, show me an example of irony." Dame Andrea Marie Jenkyns, (previously the Conservative Party Member of Parliament for Morley and Outwood in West Yorkshire, England from 2015 to 2024), says Reform UK should stop taking Conservative defectors to avoid an 'establishment takeover'.

With Ben Bradley (no, me neither), defecting to Reform, there are now 22 ex-Tory MPs in Nigel's "We're nothing like them!" party. I saw Reform portrayed as, 'literally the political bin juice all sloshing around together underneath the rubbish bag', and never has a description been more apposite.

Today in 'Maths Is Fun ... Honest!' we look at the Venn diagram of people who say Farage was only 18 at the time and didn’t mean what he said, against the set of people who were certain Shamima Begum knew what she was doing at 15. Initial calculations show the figure to be a circle.
