Randy Rainbow’s latest musical message to Donald Trump is wickedly funny – and scarily true
8 March 2025 @ 8:53 pm
Comedian, singer and actor Randy Rainbow has always had the measure of Donald Trump, and the skill and cojones to mock him mercilessly through the medium of song (and fake interviews). You may remember when Randy channelled Barbra to celebrate Trump’s arraignment or when his brilliant Rent parody was the perfect good riddance afer the […]

Americans are buying a single Japanese strawberry for $19, and these sweet reactions say everything that needs to be said
8 March 2025 @ 5:02 pm
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with treating yourself to a product from higher up the luxury ladder than you usually buy – as long as you can afford it. It’s also worth remembering that, sometimes, the cheap packet of biscuits really hits the spot. It’s all just a matter of taste. We’re less convinced that anybody […]

Justin Trudeau was asked about another day of ‘psychodrama’ with Trump and his A++ response suggests a career in comedy beckons
8 March 2025 @ 8:12 am
Justin Trudeau won’t be prime minister of Canada much longer having stepped down as leader of the Liberal party and, we’re not gonna lie, we’re gonna miss him. Not least because of the way he has dealt with Trump across not one but two presidencies, and specifically Trump’s revolving door of tariffs and obsession with […]

Donald Trump’s response to a question about Elon Musk he didn’t like is a grim reminder of the state of America right now
8 March 2025 @ 7:41 am
Unelected Elon Musk has been very much the power behind Donald Trump’s return to the White House and finally it appears that some members of the President’s Cabinet can’t take it anymore. Specifically, Secretary of State Marco Rubio who’s simmering anger at Musk apparently exploded into the open in a heated – very heated – […]

Lembit Öpik’s unlikeliest of takes on Putin and the Ukraine War had everyone asking: ‘How the hell did he end up here?’
7 March 2025 @ 5:58 pm
The memory can play tricks on you, of course, but we remember Lembit Öpik back in the day – way back in the day – as being a mostly decent kinda chap, albeit one who was also something of a figure of fun. A bit of a cheeky boy, you might say. What we didn’t […]

7 March 2025 @ 3:36 pm
Spare a though – only kidding – for Captain Tom Moore’s daughter, Hannah Ingram-Moore, who thought it would be a good idea to go on Good Morning Britain to salvage some of her reputation after that most unfortunate spa incident (and everything else).
