What Next as Johnson Takes Control?
So we got our man. A liar, a cheat, and adulterer who avoids interrogation and when cornered shouted 'GET BREXIT DONE! He can fuck right off.Where next though? Any opposition to him will be destroyed by The Telegraph, The Mail, The Sun, The Express and soon The I (recently sold to The Mail).I have read today about Corbyn being a weak leader and that may well be the case, we will never know.

The Australian Points System!
I am not sure if anyone has noticed but you may have seen Boris Johnson getting terribly excited about an ‘Australian style immigration points system’ lately.

Pill Boxes were named after (would you believe) boxes that carried pills and these particular ones were built ...

A week is a long time in politics and it certainly feels like it. What I think I have learnt is that Boris Johnson could eat one of the Queen’s Corgis and get away with it. Perennial fuckwit, Prince Andrew, has been taking all the public rap for being an unsavoury scallywag of high ranking, yet everything has bounced off of Johnson, our delightful new PM. That said, I have spoken to two Tories this week and they are claiming they are ...
