FROM STEWART LEE April ’25 – As slippery as a greasy pig since 1968 - March 2025 March 27th, 2025

1. SAVE THE TOMB OF THE EAGLES One of my favorite places in the world is the neolithic Tomb of The Eagles on Orkney. Instead of making it easy for themselves and just reburying it, the farming family that owned the land it occupied tried to run it for the benefit of visitors, with young…

Trump chose the wrong hill to DEI on - March 2025 The Observer - By Stewart Lee - March 23rd, 2025

The smelly thoughts of Donald Trump bubble up like brown burps in the sort of bombsite pond Chopper bike-riding children were advised to avoid in 1970s public information films.
