Belfast — Hate spewing knuckle-draggers the Concerned Parents of Newtownabbey (CPoN) have vandalised an unfortunate person’s gable wall with what is perhaps a new genre of AI enshittification — mural slop. The inexplicable abomination molesting the eyes of passers-by defies coherent description, but we’ll take a crack anyway. It appears to feature the Spanish Los […]

10 May 2026 @ 10:04 am
In the runup to the local elections, Nigel Farage became suspiciously hard to get hold of. People suspected this was because we learned he neglected to declare a £5m ‘gift’ he received.

9 May 2026 @ 5:03 pm
Genocide-collaborating deputy PM David Lammy is busy helping Starmer wage war on UK rights, including the right to trial by jury. He’s also a famously awful politician and an even worse human being — and one full of unmerited self-confidence. So much so that he said only in March 2026, in the run-up to the […]
