Well if you believe the soothsayers, the total eclipse of the sun which will be visible across the US today, marks the beginning of the end of the world.

As we’ve heard this countless times before I wouldn’t get too excited just yet. After all based on current news stories the lunatics seem to be increasingly in charge of the asylum so there probably isn’t much hope for us anyway.

And as if to prove this, we reported today on the story which appeared last week in the renowned publication – THE ROCHDALE HERALD – which reported that, in order to recognise and celebrate the growing diversity in the City of London, that BIG BEN was to be re-named “MASSSIVE MOHAMMED” and that whilst the “bongs” are silenced for repair, the Muslim Call for Prayer would be  relayed every hour on the hour via newly installed large speakers at the top of the tower. 

Incredibly social media came alive with comments from people who were taken in by the story, and when told it was a spoof, still wouldn’t accept the truth.

So much for FAKE NEWS.

And in keeping with the claims of fake news, we had the true story of the establishment last week in Bethnal Green of London’s first anti-Donald Trump pop-up cocktail bar.

Staff wearing UNFIT TO SERVE T-Shirts offered customers up to 6 new Trump themed cocktails such as Trump Tower Whiskey Sour, Paris Deal Prosecco, The Mexican Wall Margarita and a Moscow (was responsible for the election) Mule.

Sadly the venue was only open for a couple of days.

See you again tomorrow,
