So the pensioners are going to get a rise of double the winter fuel allowance? But aren’t they subject to inflation the same as anyone else? If the price of fuel goes up again, what with all the wars and so on, will just over £8 a week save them? My favourite biscuits have justContinueContinue reading “Clarence: Lies and Statistics”

Clarence: In Hysterics
I cannot stop laughing. My sides hurt. Have you heard that ABBA don’t want President Trump to use “The Winner Takes it All“ at his rallies. Partly because they’re Democratic, but Bjorn’s comeback was one of the best points ever made on live TV. “He wouldn’t use the song if he knew what it reallyContinueContinue reading “Clarence: In Hysterics”
Clarence: The Return of the Say-Aye!
…Or you’ll be suspended from Parliament, thrown to the wolves, locked in the Tower of London below water level, and sent to the opposition benches if the parts of you left don’t drown! Aye equals yes the PM approves of me, Nay equals oh sh…dear…I shouldn’t have done that and the Whips are heading myContinueContinue reading “Clarence: The Return of the Say-Aye!”
Clarence: Oh Lord…
They’re Coming Back! Let the lying and insults begin. Don’t worry about us, we’ll keep on keeping on, making the best we can of the mess you make. The pensioners will take to their beds for the winter under five quilts if they can afford them. If not they can always buy a tent, putContinueContinue reading “Clarence: Oh Lord…”
Clarence on the Completely Predictable
“Those with the broadest shoulders should bear the burden”Sir Keir Starmer What on earth do broad shoulders have to do with the economy? What he actually means is that the wealthier you are, they’re coming for you. The fact that you’ve worked hard is entirely your own fault. You’ll need broad shoulders because they’re goingContinueContinue reading “Clarence on the Completely Predictable”
Clarence: On the Budget+
So today the nation is about to be shocked by what we already knew. We’re in debt. Labour will play it that this black hole is deeper than they thought. All their campaign promises are compromised by this huge lie! The financial people told us before the election that none of the manifestos were costedContinueContinue reading “Clarence: On the Budget+”
Clarence on the Price of Politics
I hadn’t realised how much politicians and other leader types are trying to kill us. From helping the NHS destroy itself to creating wars, failing to solve serious problems, and generally messing up the care of the elderly, they’re the biggest threat to mental and physical health that exists. At least our lot wouldn’t startContinueContinue reading “Clarence on the Price of Politics”
Clarence: On Inexplicable News
Apparently our new heath secretary is reportedly stunned by NHS failings. One wonders what rock he’s been hiding under? The general public left stunned behind a decade ago. Far right candidates are mainly standing for Conservative leader, so that’s not news. Nor is it great. They all seem to have to be so pushy! WhenContinueContinue reading “Clarence: On Inexplicable News”
Clarence: Oh Lord!
Having observed the President Putin/Vice-President Trump debacle I’m at a loss. In fairness President Biden has always muddled names up, so it’s not really a sign of getting older with him. However, there’s muddling something up and managing to convey the worst possible insult, which he managed twice. One confused with his mortal enemy, theContinueContinue reading “Clarence: Oh Lord!”
Clarence: International
That makes me feel so Journalist-y. Me on the world stage. Actually watching the world stage from the back. But even so! Gotta start with football. Where did that dynamic, energised team come from last night? Southgate has to have refined his game plan. Thoroughly good match. They would have actually scored three goals wereContinueContinue reading “Clarence: International”
