  • Fanboi can’t remember tribute act name

    Last Thursday large swathes of the Untied* Kingdom went to the polls, electing local councils in England, as well as members of the Scottish Parliament in Holyrood and the Senedd in Caerdydd.

    The big winners in Englandshire with a gain of 1,451 council seats were an alleged political party known as Reform UK, a limited company under the control of a charlatan, grifter and absentee dishonourable member of parliament for Clacton in Essex rejoicing in the name of Nigel Paul Farage.

    Farage’s alleged greatest political achievement was conning folk into voting for the Untied Kingdom to leave the European Union, the country biggest foreign policy mistake since the disastrous Suez Crisis of 1956.

    At the time, Farage’s personal fan club rejoiced in the name of the United Kingdom Independence Party, or UKIP for short.

    UKIP still exists, but under new management and even further to the right than it was under Farage’s leadership (if what he does can be covered by that noun. Ed.), since Farage decided in 2018 that his fan club needed a rebrand as the Brexit Party, which in turn was renamed Reform UK in 2021.

    However, for some members of the Farage faithful, eight years is too short a time to absorb news of the party’s rebrand, as this social media post from Emma Volney illustrates, where the idiot fanboi wearing the rosette (which he evidently can’t read or hasn’t read. Ed.) has to be reminded of the party’s name by his interviewer.

    Post reads 'UKIP's here!’ New Reform councillor corrected on which party he now represents. #LocalElections2026. This sits above a screenshot of a shaven-headed, very pink-looking man with a Reform rosette with the sub-title Our message is UKIP's here working hard with local communities
    Doh!

    Perhaps he’ll remember by the time his defection to another right-wing rabble is due. 😀

    Spelling deliberate. Ed.

  • Of golden calves and graven images

    The book of Exodus in the Old Testament says the following in Chapter 20, verse 4:

    Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

    Which brings us in a timely manner to the Mar-a-Lago golf course in Florida, owned by the disgraced former 45th and current disgraceful 47th President of the United States, adjudicated sexual predator, condemned business fraudster, convicted felon, compulsive liar and golf cheat, one Donald John Trump (who is on a personal quest to Make America Grate Again or something similar. Ed.).

    tRump, whose narcissism is believed to have no beginning, has been keen to plaster his name all over the public domain in such places as Washington’s Kennedy Center. Ever a pitifully insecure creature, Little Donny has now erected a gold statue of himself at his Florida residence with built-in 18 holes.

    To assist with the statue’s unveiling, the Donald invited long-term supporter and alleged Christian Pastor Mark Burns, a long term member of the Cult of The Donald, who told the Premier Christian News site that it definitely was “not a golden calf“.

    Your ‘umble scribe thinks the good pastor should apply the so-called duck test to the Tangerine Tyrant’s tacky display of narcissism and self-aggrandisement.
