UK News: Corbyn Isn’t Kosher
For those who have been too busy following the ongoing impeachment proceedings in the US – or for those who have understandably been ceaselessly pointing at the news channel and shrieking ever since 2016 – the U.K. is due to hold an election next month. This is a chore for all British citizens, as the…

Greetings from the glorious Republic of Boristan, where our Great Leader Boris Johnson has remade the country in his own image! Gone are the drab days of Theresa May and of the defeatist attitude that Brexit is an iminent national catastrophe! Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by the son of…

If the UK press is to be believed (and it seldom is) the “special relationship” between Britain and the US may be hanging in tatters. A leaked memo from Sir Kim Darroch, the British Ambassador to the United States, has apparently shown that Darroch referred to the Trump White House as “dysfunctional… faction-riven… diplomatically clumsy…
Read More14. The Ladies Of Laketown
Editor’s Note: In this, the final episode of Luke Haines’ comic series, the women of Laketown decide they’ve had just about enough, thank you very much. “Jeeeeeeeeesus,” I winced as I sat up.

Editor’s Note: This is next installment of Luke Haines parodic series in which he takes Baby Boomers to task for all their sheer snottiness.

Editor’s Note: Luke Haines is freaking us out with a longish series of short parodic pieces in which he trashes Baby Boomers (not unlike his editor) for destroying the economy and the environment. This week, however, he extends his trashing to include some dwarfs, who might be people in his own generation. Dang those Millennials.…
Read More9. Dragons, Treasures, Bar Tabs
Editor’s Note: We are, as clever readers will recall, running a longish series by our U.K. Editor, Luke Haines. In it, he is respectfully trashing Baby Boomers and Others for ruining the planet. Geez. One little world. You’d think that it was the only one we had. “Jeeeeeeeeesus,” I winced as I sat up. I’d…
