Two stories to keep beside you
A Highland Dream
Completely ‘Off grid’ Scottish Highland hideaway 168 acre estate for sale for £650,000 just as it is revealed nowhere in Britain is more than 6 miles from a road Today The Sunday Times reported “we are never further than six miles from a road anywhere on the mainland” in Britain according to research by Ordnance […]
The Vileness of The Trumps
The word “vile” truly suits the vile Trump family On Sunday, I came under attack for describing the Trump family as “vile”.

Brilliant story, thanks, Matthew. Takes my mind off the current US administration, if only for 40 seconds.
Good one, and at least he wasn’t tanked up- “Put a Tiger in the Tank” as they used to say…..
I wouldn’t want him on a hunting trip with me if he can’t tell the difference between Poo bear and a Grizzly. I reckon he was on the mountain dew myself.
You should stick to writing this kind of drivel instead of unfairly targeting innocent pillars of the community like Viscount St Davids. It is quite unacceptable that you still have not removed the vile things you wrote about him. He and his dear wife and daughter have suffered enough because of you. Screw you Steeples. You do not fool anyone.
