Blind Justice?
If justice is blind, that may explain why the International Criminal Court (ICC) has failed to notice the skin colour of the only two people it has convicted in its 12 years of existence.

Poor Harry
Poor Harry Windsor. To support an AIDS charity he was asked to reveal a secret. His big secret is that he gets nervous before speaking in public. Well, here’s an idea: get a proper job.

P.P.S. Parasite.

The fear is that these “radicalised” people will pose a threat to security in this … Read more
Food poverty ended at a stroke
The growth of food banks and reported cases of malnutrition is a scathing indictment of 21st century British capitalism. You do not need to be a socialist to see food poverty as a shameful scourge that must be dealt with as a matter of urgency. And as I was fuming quietly to myself about the … Read more
The multipack ripoff
Yesterday I walked into ASDA and was confronted by an end-of-plinth display selling multipacks of Pepsi Max for £6.00. The packaging wasn’t clear how many were in each pack, so I assumed there were 24. But on closer examination it turns out they were selling 30 standard cans of drink for £6.00, or 20p per … Read more
