How does Infantino deal with his World Cup host and recipient of his inaugural “peace prize” bombing the crap out of a competitor nation three months before it kicks off?

Rachel from accounts is slowly demolishing Laura from cosmetics, Chris from stationery, Andrew from the kitchen, and Robbie from advertising.

Pedants’ Corner.
Surely people don’t rot in hell?
They will grill in hell. Or charboil. Sizzle, smoulder, simmer?

In this order:
Donald Trump bombs a girls’ school in Iran, killing 150+ pupils.
Melania Trump calls on the United Nations to “protect children’s access to education.”

The Strange Death of Conservative Britain.

Statue erected in Chagos islands (c) 2026, in memory of a missionary who was swept ashore on the tide and uttered a single squawk before being ritually beheaded.

Perhaps Trump could send a hospital ship to pick up Farage from the Chagos islands.

“Ted, shall we spend the weekend in the Chagos islands?”

Trump’s birthday is on 14 June.
Just saying.

“Ted, will you be a Shadow Minister with me?”

February 18 is also the 165th anniversary of the assumption of the throne of Italy by Victor Emmanuel II - but you don’t see Sadiq Khan celebrating that, although the last I looked there were still some Piedmontese and Savoyards in London. Disgusting.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is medieval in several senses - brute acquisition of territory etc. But also because it goes on and on while the people of the aggressor state forget why they’re at war. If they ever knew.

Eat the Rich sounds more each day like a moderate and sensible political programme.

Have so many prominent British political journalists, from so many major print and broadcast outfits, ever called a major story quite so badly as today?
They’d be fired from a self-respecting local weekly. Or at least put on sport and cattle sales for a year.

Will nobody think of Rayan Cherki? That would have been his fourth EPL goal, and his first from 60 yards. Probably.

The fact that the crabs were live doubles her appeal.

Most of the 404 Labour MPs are there only partly because of their own irresistible charms. They were elected as representatives of a party whose leader saw off three Tory PMs before winning a landslide. C’mon folks, a bit of solidarity? Three years is a long time in politics.

Trump and his cartel, his family and his administration are simply dirty. Sordid. Not a fragment of redeeming style, class or wit. Just filth, smeared on everything and everyone that touches them.

Hang on in there, Eddie and Keir.

Some people are suddenly exercised about the flawless operation of Labour governments, who last week didn’t give a damn.

Tis gone, that bright and orbed blaze,
Fast fading from our wistful gaze;
You mantling cloud has hid from sight
The last faint pulse of quivering light.

Before we hand Mandelson over to the press, politicians and public stocks, can we see right wing transgressors getting the same treatment.

In 2018 Musk defamed as “pedo guy” a British diver rescuing kids from a cave, then bought himself a not guilty verdict in court.
In 2026 Musk is revealed to be a wannabe or actual pedo guy. Hopefully it’s untrue, as it would then be the starkest manifestation of karma on record.

Having razed Eleanor Roosevelt’s East Wing, he’s now going to bulldoze the Kennedy Centre. All those tough-talking US pols and tycoons get to watch their capital city atomised because they’re scared of a demented paedophile with daddy issues.

Epstein papers evoke Chinatown… a movie about corruption in the 1930s USA.
The ending? As Jack Nicolson starts to protest the rapist paedophile John Huston leading his young daughter away from her murdered mother, he’s restrained and told, “Forget it, Jake. It’s Chinatown.”

Along with the Roundhouse in London, the CCA (Third Eye Centre) was the last concrete survivor of the 60s/70s British cultural revolution. Salut, Tom McGrath.

So that’s why Musk wants his own principality on Mars. “Wild parties” out in the Solar System.
