- Webcurios 14/11/25 - Reading Time: 39 minutes One of the funny things about politics if you spend any time vaguely close to it is the realisation that so many people in that sphere have spent literally their WHOLE LIVES working to attain the exalted position of MP, or Minister, or even SpAd; these are men and women who have played the…

- Webcurios 07/11/25 - Reading Time: 34 minutes I went to see a play last night all about bongo and its effects – actually the title’s misleading, it’s significantly more about sex addiction but, well, that’s less zeitgeisty, innit – and I can say categorically that there is NOTHING less erotic than watching people simulate masturbation onstage. In case, er, you’d been…

- Webcurios 31/10/25 - Reading Time: 37 minutes The only small downside to the downgrading of the role of Andrew Mountbatten is that it’s sadly no longer accurate to refer to him as ‘the paedo prince’ – still, I guess we’ll cope. In other news, the UK has this week regressed again, to the point where ‘is it racist to complain about…

- Webcurios 24/10/25 - Reading Time: 34 minutes So it turns out that the nation that most of you (or at least the ones who bothered to engage with my shameless engagement-bait last week) find most irritating or least-fun is, er, your own! Yes, that’s right, in a possibly-predictable bout of self-loathing it turns out that Curios readers seem to think that…

- Webcurios 17/10/25 - Reading Time: 37 minutes It turns out that I am in a bit of a hurry today – THINGS TO DO, PEOPLE TO SEE, YOU KNOW HOW IT IS (I need to get on a bus, it’s all glamour here in South London) – and as such I am going to eschew too much preamble in favour of…

- Webcurios 10/10/25 - Reading Time: 39 minutes Oh Christ, it’s one of those days when I get to the bottom of Curios and have to write this opening bit and I realise that…nothing. I have NOTHING. I leave it to you, then, to imagine the THRILLINGLY SATIRICAL and BITING take I might have instead put here; don’t worry, you’re almost certainly…

- Webcurios 03/10/25 - Reading Time: 36 minutes Leaving aside the obvious tragedy of the attack on Manchester synagogue and the deaths that resulted, and the miserable reality of the continued rise in antisemitism being seen the world over, it was also miserable to be able to broadly predict the way in which the attack and its perpetrator are likely to be…

- Webcurios 25/09/25 - Reading Time: 36 minutes You know, I haven’t felt nostalgic for the experience of attending political party conferences for…well, never, as it happens, they are fcuking AWFUL things. If you accept that ‘politics is rock and roll for ugly people’ (and it really, really is), then Conference is Glastonbury – gossip and hedonism and the opportunity to spend…

- Webcurios 19/09/25 - Reading Time: 38 minutes DID YOU ENJOY THE POMP? DID YOU ENJOY THE CEREMONY? DID YOU ENJOY THE SYCOPHANCY? Well it doesn’t matter whether you did or not, YOU DON’T COUNT. Only one man counts and he is now safely back in Free Speech Paradise Land having a different selection of lips applied to his perineum, while we…

- Webcurios 12/09/25 - Reading Time: 40 minutes You know how if you read a certain type of right-wing commentator, particularly in the UK, they will often talk about ‘The Blob’ – the insidious groupthink machinery of the DEEP STATE, infiltrated by THE LEFT and which prevents meaningful action on everything and which has somehow INFECTED all modern institutions of government and…
