If you haven’t worked it out yet, our man Justin McKeating – aka Chicken Yoghurt – is a bit good at the old enraged demolition of politicians’ neverending doublespeak. That’s probably why they had a screenshot of his place in … Continue reading →

Up now. You may also be interested in Mick Fealty on Mark Lawson on Mick Fealty (and other bloggers). I’m still annoyed I didn’t get a mention. Mark Lawson, you’re a poo-head. Until you give me a nice prominent place … Continue reading →

Read. Enjoy. And stuff.

Damn it. It would appear that I was at one of Mills’ last public appearances, in which case. Go on, check out his filmography. He was one of the greats, and will be much missed. And afterwards, read how the … Continue reading →
