You Have Been Verwoerd

BY JOHN NASH It is that time of year, when poisonous mushrooms suddenly re-erupt all over the place without warning and this year many are, as in the past, infected by a particularly stubborn pathogen.  Despite dying instantly when exposed to the bright light of truth, and regardless of being repeatedly stamped out, a damnable scourge continues to re-emerge again and again. I refer to … Continue reading You Have Been Verwoerd

Tiger, Tiger, Burning Spite

BY JOHN NASH On Saturday 12th October, The Express sprinkled upon its online readers yet more blatant hatemongering against hunters, reigniting the Campaign to Undermine Parliament by the shyster Eduardo Gonçalves and his political stunt, the Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting (CBTH). In the article, a glittering assortment of Gonçalves’ celebrity donkeys simultaneously demonstrated their gullibility and ignorance by repeating his poisonous political mantra – … Continue reading Tiger, Tiger, Burning Spite

BY JOHN NASH “AT XMAS…. SICK KILLING TRADE. Reindeer horror.

A Gale of Methane

BY JOHN NASH CSM readers will be aware of the saying, “Fools rush in where angels fear to tread”. Well, Dear Reader, may I offer you a complete idiot not only rushing in, but hurling himself into an intellectual slurry-pit at warp speed 20. He could not have put more feet into his mouth if he was a millipede contortionist. He stands as a severe and ominous example … Continue reading A Gale of Methane

Animals Abroad Bill Bites the Dust

BY JOHN NASH On 12th March, the Mirror online ran the “exclusive” and tragic news that “Boris Johnson has ditched the Animals Abroad Bill” – you know, that one that would have banned the importation of hunting trophies and saved more wild animals than Noah. Apart from the fact that Boris hasn’t personally ditched the cretinous proposal, the article was the usual Mirror fake-news eco-hate-speech, this … Continue reading Animals Abroad Bill Bites the Dust
