As you can imagine, I’m not very comfortable with the fact that the only satire I’ve put up so far has been Right wing satire. What kind of a red-blooded Commy am I? Time to rectify that. As I said, I will be posting the occasional article I wrote for my University’s mag last year. This article is precisely one year old. (Americans won’t get the first half I’m afraid, but scroll down to the second half). Do you have problems keeping your mouth shut? Ever accidentally revealed your plan to ...

Much has been written about the media glamourising drugs. For some bizarre reason, this has been portrayed as being a bad thing. As though they shouldn’t be allowed to portray the truth that drugs make people cooler. To prove this point I’m going to tell you about my favourite Stars on Drugs. It’s when we see drugs in Showbiz that we really see how beautiful drugs are. Ozzie Osbourne Who can forget that moment in TV history when Ozzie sat on his couch, trying to make the remote wor...

This is my 100th article, so I thought I should do something spesh. Some of you will be aware that I, the Champ, recently went through a middle-aged crisis*, where I stopped writing about politics and started coming over all peaceful and at one with the world. But before I went on this wanky, peaceful path to enlightenment, I was a relatively popular blogger. Correction: I was a widely-read political blogger. No one liked me, but a fair few read my uninformed twaddle. In that time, I ...

We’re doing it tough, with the rising price of petrol, groceries, housing. We’re doing it tough…. here in the heated, carpeted bedroom the size of a double garage, pissing our pay up against a wall. Some middle class families are doing it so tough this winter that all we have to warm ourselves with is the lights of our widescreen plasma screen TVs.

Hillary Clinton arrived at the Democrat Party headquarters and told the man at the desk she wanted to become their next candidate for President. He ushered her into a room with all the head honchos responsible for deciding who would get the go-ahead.
