The gateway of Queens' College, Cambridge. In my third year there I had rooms just inside the door on the extreme right

Don't pay him a single penny!

I assumed this was a rather crude parody, because the alternative was too awful to contemplate. But after reading Trump's comments on the Reiner murder, I'm afraid we have to face facts: Trump is clinically insane

The First Window. It is Skábma, Polar Night, and in the darkness, we see a flicker of light inside a lávvu tent, settled on the banks of the frozen river Njávdámjohka. The lávvu belongs to the Newcomer, his fur as white as the drifts of snow, his eyes the colour of Baltic resin. He is singing a litany, a mapping of the vast Arctic skies. As the blue smoke rises, he calls the names of every star. And he watches those ancient pierce-lights trace the Eternal hunt, and the race of the reindeer calves and the flight of a million birds, and so absorbed is he, that fierce red sparks from the fire singe his tail and he turns and jumps and runs outside, and the sky is caught and illuminated with the fox-fire of another year, of every year and of no years at all.

A bodybuilder pretending to be a tough-guy athlete: not a bad metaphor for Trump!

The BBC must on no account pay Trump a single penny.

We must seriously question Trump's sanity

The Forerunners of Christ with Saints and Martyrs by Fra Angelico.

I have been following American history for 60 years, and I have never before seen such disgraceful scenes as the activities of the ICA. This is nothing but officially-sanctioned fascist thuggery

Trump can b guaranteed to do everything in the worst possible taste

Autumn crocus in our churchyard

Bad taste cartoon of the year. But shouldn't he be wearing a jackboot?

Stormtroopers in action in America

Trump's stormtroopers strike again

My histroical novel, set in 18th century England, is now published on Amazon Kindle, and should shortly appear as a paperback!

This magnificent beast is one of the feral goats that live on the Great Orme above Llandudno in Wales

This man is a danger to constitutional government

Very alarming!

Is this why conservatives hate the BBC?

Thought for the Day: Russian imperialism "We don't want to fight, but by jingo if we do,  We've got the ships, we've got the men, we've got the money too.  We've fought the Bear bef...

Nauseating!

Is this man sane?

Disgraceful!

I'm sure they were deeply impressed! (Ha ha)

Utterly naff taste!

I don't believe Trump is being blackmailed by Putin; he merely acts as if he was

Technically speaking, this is agnosticism rather than atheism. An atheist is certain that there is no God.
