Tax Everything.
In the run up to the local elections this week, it is obvious to everyone that the country is desperately short of money. Nonetheless all the politicians want to spend more and none of them have any real idea of … Continue reading
Clout Casting.
“Don’t cast a clout ‘till May is out” is something I can remember from my childhood days. The word “clout” means clothing. I must admit that my thermal vest, my fleece lined shirt and my woolly jumper are already making … Continue reading

Ayatollah Tramp
President Tramp has been digging himself into a big pothole in the Middle East. It’s the pothole to beat all potholes. Probably the biggest pothole in the world. Now he has asked the Last Laugh Looney Party to come up … Continue reading
LLLP Rescues Tramp.
President Tramp has got himself and everyone else in a bit of hot water in the Straight’s of Horsemoose. Apparently the mullahs in Iran didn’t like him dropping bombs on them and sinking their navy. Oh and assassinating half of … Continue reading
