Losing disgracefully was always going to be President Donnie’s reaction to coming second in a two-horse race. Unfortunately, the more The Orange One fails to recognise Denial is not a river in Egypt, the more Americans are going to be swept away by COVID-19’s rampage across the land of the free.  The Trump to Biden transition is like no other in history. Time is literally against the incoming Biden administration. The longer Donald obsesses about being a victim of a rigged election, the more of his fellow Americans aren’t going to see Christmas this year.  With Coronavirus claiming over 1,000 American lives every day, pleas from Biden’s team and groups of public health experts are getting increasingly desperate. The U.S. is heading towards a humanitarian crisis within its own borders with 11 million confirmed infections and a death toll that’s heading towards 250,000!  Doctor Anthony Fauci, America’s top infectious disease expert and subject to many a Trump verbal attack,...

Trying to make sense of the car crash that is 2020, is a tricky business. Which is why conspiracy theories are born. From a laboratory manufactured bioweapon to tracker vaccines, that know what you had for breakfast. One man’s conspiracy theory is a trillion men’s misinformation. Clutching at straws is what human beings do, when our world is in meltdown. In writing this piece I do not wish to trivialise the gravity of the situation we find ourselves in. The very nature of Social Media and the light speed a rumour, falsehood or fabrication, can whizz around the globe is frightening. I sincerely urge you to stay safe by continuing to practice good hygiene and physical distancing. As well as avoiding public gatherings and by isolating yourself, if need be. It’s a tough call but these are tough times. So, in no particular order here are some of the more colourful Coronavirus conspiracies that are nuttier than Secret Squirrel doo-doo. First, as I’ve already mentioned, features a swarthy ...

President Trump, as if waving an invisible magic wand, wished COVID19 away. ‘I think we are going to be very good with the Coronavirus. I think that, at some point, that it's going to sort of just disappear, I hope.’ Hmmm. This comes as Donald’s United States of COVID19 recorded 43,000 new cases in just one day. Gawd Bless America! The Lone Trumper? Donald’s own Republican Party called for the President to wear a mask in public, to set a good example. Donald had resisted wearing a mask, saying it would be unseemly for the commander-in-chief to wear a mask as he meets heads of state. Changing his tune, he assured America that he does wear one. ‘I sort of liked the way I looked. It was a dark black mask and I thought it looked OK. It looked like the Lone Ranger.’ For any millennials out there, the Lone Ranger is a fictional masked ex-Texas Ranger, who rode the Old West shooting bad guys. Just wear the f***ing mask, Ke-mo sah-bee! The masked Democrat? As waves of COVID1...

Where to start? Well with Banksy of course. His playful take on Vemeer’s ‘Girl with a Pearl Earring’, ‘Girl With A Pierced Eardrum’ has got an overnight makeover by the master of stealth himself. Bringing her bang up-to-date into the Coronavirus torn 21 st  Century. She now dons a blue face mask, adhering to one of the recommended remedies to fight the virus. While still ignoring another. She’s outside. Silly noodle! SofART? If the audience won’t come to art, art will come to the audience. With self-isolation the order of the day, events all over the world, have been cancelled. The arts have been forced to reinvent themselves, which could be, in the long run be a good thing. Artists who are ingenious by nature, have picked up the pandemic gauntlet and proved, that you can’t keep a good artist down. It’ll take more than a pesky pestilence, plague or pandemic to beat a creative mind into submission.  Creative Minds Always whirring!   Beethoven’s uplifting ‘Ode to ...

Do nations end up with the leaders they deserve? Possibly. But if the COVID19 pandemic has done anything, it’s thrown world leaders into sharp relief, revealing exactly what kind of leadership qualities they actually possess. Coronavirus offers a politician no cover whatsoever to hide behind. They either deal with it or they don’t. F***wits get found out! Maskless Mike? This week the Vice-President of the United States, Mike Pence visited a Coronavirus Testing Facility in Minnesota. He chose to ignore their regulations and not wear a protective mask. Later he said. ‘Since I don't have the coronavirus, I thought it'd be a good opportunity for me to be here, to be able to speak to these researchers, these incredible health care personnel and look them in the eye and say thank you.’ Last time I looked you don’t wear a COVID19 protective mask over your eyes, Mr Vice-President. America First. Minnesota Last? Pence was the only one inside the facility not to wear a face mas...
