How a Banana is a Reminder that Some Want to Stop Evolution
When I saw the banana skin lying on the Emirates turf on Sunday afternoon, this was the first thing that came to mind as the racist accusations and social media witch hunt started. “Did that guy really come to the ground with a premeditated ambition to chuck a banana skin at a black Arsenal player?” I don’t know the answer to that but if he did, he deserves all that comes his way.

Tim Martin – The Pub Bullshitter’s Messiah!
If I am honest, eccentrics and pub bullshitters never used to bother me. Every pub in the county I live (Hampshire) has always had one, red faced, full of shit and putting the world to rights with preposterous tales about bringing back hanging, the French being cowards and how black people are lazy.

The ‘Send 'Em Back’ party is set to unveil its strapline on a red London bus this weekend in a bid to take us back to the good old days when you ...

One of the things that has been of interest to me over the last couple of years, is how some people operate their brain. Are they lazy, wearing ignorance as a bad of honour, or is there such a thing as just being plain thick, a kind of gene deficiency in the frontal cortex? Obviously, I am not a psychologist, but I find it hard to buy into people simply being thick because of their genes. I think it is more a case of not having the gumption ...
