Gove: sticking the boot on
We lost a few readers last week
for being 'too political' in
sending issues for both Remain and
Leave, but we will not be swayed
in our mission to bring you the
facts you need in order to make
up your mind about the people
who are running this country.
That being so, we feel duty
bound to tell you that Michael
Gove wears wellies – ACTUAL
WELLINGTON BOOTS - to the beach.
Don't believe us? Take a look.

Boris on a sticky wicket
After winning the Brexit vote
for Britain (then leaving the
country in a state of total
turmoil) you may have read
that Boris Johnson spent his
weekend playing cricket.
What you won't have read is
that Boris's innings was cut
short after he was bowled out
by the Popbitch Racing Club's
trainer George Baker.
Making George Britain's only
successful in-swinger of the
last week.
|
|
-------------------------------
Even though he has done fuck all
this week, Boris has still earned
– in book advances, column fees
and his MP salary – about £39,774.

>> Big Questions <<
Who's asking what this week?
Which A-list prostitute keeps
condoms full of the frozen jizz
of her ultra-famous clients in a
freezer unit at home? If she's
hoping to make babies out of
them, she's probably spoiled
the batches – but they're still
good evidence with which to
secure a decent book/story deal.

Reviews for the ropey Ab Fab movie
have been rather kind. In no way
aided by critics getting a bottle

with Kylie, of course.

Friends in high places
Simon Cowell is backing the
investigative reporter Mark
Williams-Thomas in his
attempts to make a British
equivalent of Making A
Murderer for ITV – a series
in which Mark will look into
a big true crime story.
Cowell's most famous close
associates? "Sir" Philip Green
and Max Clifford.
Brave move this, Simon.

Orange is the new Black Lace
We've had pop stars put in
prison for drugs, murder,
noncing, shackling rentboys
to radiators – and now we've
got our first celebrity
benefits cheat behind bars.
Dene Michael Betteridge, front
man from Black Lace, is going
to jail for six months after
claiming £24,000 of incapacity
benefits, having told the
DWP he was so disabled that
he could only get around using
sticks and all he could do
was watch TV.
Meanwhile, far from being
sofa-bound, he was touring the
UK performing 'vigorous'
renditions of Agadoo for
audiences at over 100 gigs.
Which is reason enough to
lock him up, if you ask us.

Threesome celeb bites back
Remember that PJS injunction
everyone was talking about a
few weeks ago? After somehow
persuading the Supreme Court
to uphold his injunction and
keep the details of his olive
oil paddling pool sex party
private, you'd have thought
PJS would have been nothing
but pleased with his lawyers.
But, no. It seems some people
are never happy.
Poor old Carter-Ruck got binned
off because PJS was furious
they hadn't kept his name
entirely off the internet.
Instead, PJS has switched
his business to Schillings.
Presumably impressed by all
the good work they did in
keeping Ryan Giggs' name
off the web...

>> Address code <<
Playing the maestro card
Famous people can often be
quite particular about the
way you address them. Lauryn
Hill makes it very clear that
staff are only ever to call
her 'Ms Hill'. Ben Kingsley
is famously pissy if people
dare drop the 'Sir' from his
name (so much so that even
his kids, half-jokingly,
call him "Sir Dad").
But king of them all is Ennio
Morricone. Before he does an
interview, he has his people
send out an email instructing
the interviewer to address
him only as... "Maestro".

| >> Rupert's revenge <<
Davey Cameron is a humble pie
No-one was surprised to see
Rupert Murdoch's best-selling
paper come out in favour of
Brexit. Many thought this was
because of Murdoch's love of
the free markets, or the fact
that he wields more influence
at Downing Street than he does
in Brussels – but some insiders
take a different view.
They say it was a pure and simple
revenge on Cameron for Murdoch
having to endure the "most
humble day of my life" (i.e.
his appearance in front of
the CMS Select Committee).
Apparently, Murdoch bears a
grudge like no-one you have
ever met.
Unless you've met Peter
Thiel, of course.

After a dog named Bear proved

police forces in Utah have

Guns, otters, J-Pop
Hugely popular Post-Brexit idea
in India – the UK should become
part of an Indian empire.
If you haven't seen Eric Cantona

The NRA Share The Safety site
is a parody, but it's an
incredibly slick one.
How do otters eat?
