That Was Christmas TV
I don’t know if it is just me, but Christmas television seems to get less inspired every year. After a couple of days of illness followed by Christmas Day with two of us home alone before an offspring invasion, it was an ideal time to be a couch potato. However, the mainstream channels seem to cater for fucking idiots and I found myself digging around iPlayer or old comedy channels for anything remotely worth watching. 'Only Fools and ...

I thought I would take a quick opportunity, amongst the obligatory last-minute panic stations, to wish everyone who reads this blog a Happy Christmas.

The Conservative Party have been utterly useless, with Theresa May only having pig headed fortitude as her final and desperate attribute. She has gained sympathy this week as her own party members turned on her, but if we are to be honest, if she was the head of any business, she would have been moved aside ...
