It’s painful, isn’t it? The BBC, who are probably the last surviving global cheerleaders for The One, have gone completely overboard trying to force his visit to the UK down the gagging throats of us unwilling ‘license fee’ taxpayers. Sycophantic interviews and wall-to-wall coverage. It’s been – frankly- embarassing. They’ve […]

Something has just happened of no interest at all. A week ago? Two? Longer? Thousand Year Superinjunction Reichs were the gossip of the moment. The names involved were new, dangerous, exciting. Mr Justice Eady was busy making law up on the spur of the moment and all was well in […]

The Metro splashes their front page about Man Ure winning the team’s 19th league title with a picture of Ryan Giggs celebrating with his children. Now isn’t that nice? Family values, eh?

Question Time comes tonight, unbelievably, from inside HM Prison Wormwood Scrubs. Built in the 1880s by convict labour (imagine trying that today…can’t do that, it’s me uman rites, innit) – past inmates include escapee Soviet spy George Blake and the only UK Minister to have been confirmed as a Soviet spy John […]

Now that Donald Trump has stepped aside, perhaps former Bush official John Bolton has a better shot at the Presidency? Okay, it’s unlikely. Very unlikely. But hilariously deadpan David Frost gets to the heart of the burning issue: is America ready for a President with a mustache? Part of a […]

A Taiwanese animation of the Dominique Strauss-Kahn nonsense was always on the cards, and here it is. Nothing in English, unfortunately (will keep an eye out for that) but it’s pretty self-explanatory. Enjoy.

No idea if this is true, but it deserves to be: Orville Smith, a store manager for Best Buy in Augusta, Georgia, told police he observed a male customer, later identified as Tyrone Jackson of Augusta, on surveillance cameras putting a laptop computer under his jacket. When confronted, the man […]

The Osama-Caught-With-Porn story has launched a thousand puns. Max Farquar has a great go here, for example. The ever-entertaining New York Post…for the benefit of UK readers it’s an honorary red-top….gives us this blunt version

…but not in quite the way you’d imagine. From ThisIsGloucestershire, one of the most tenuous articles TheEye has spotted in years. Might as well quote the whole thing so that you don’t think you’re missing anything of the detail: OWNERS of parrot Seve Ballesteros have today said they were shocked […]

Tonight, Question Time comes from Shefffield; described by George Orwell as “the ugliest town in the Old World“. Once the only city with a national park within its boundary (since 2010 it isn’t) and unsuccessfully nominated as UK City of Culture (2010 again; bad year, eh guys?) things haven’t been […]
