Good riddance to RuPaul’s Drag Race (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The BBC’s obsession with ‘womanface’ is every bit as insulting as The Black and White Minstrel Show. Want unlimited, ad-free access? Become a spiked supporter. When the BBC television programme The Black and White Minstrel Show breathed its last one evening in 1978 after a whopping 20 years, I don’t think many people were that cut up about it. Except, of course, the entertainers involved, who included a young Lenny Henry. When I see Sir Lenworth CBE now talking about reparations, I wonder how mu
Harry and Meghan: return of the grifters (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Shunned by Hollywood A-listers and the American public alike, the gruesome twosome are coming back to Blighty. Want unlimited, ad-free access? Become a spiked supporter. So after a six-year sojourn in southern California, Harry and Meghan – partners in crime in what I dubbed ‘the Grabdication’ – are heading back to Blighty. I don’t think we’ve missed them very much at all. Distance has not led to enchantment, and their tawdry antics have appeared less riveting as time goes by, from Meghan’s jam
No, Edwina Currie, illegal migrants don’t need brothels (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Rest assured it wouldn’t be Currie and her ilk staffing these grim sex factories. Want unlimited, ad-free access? Become a spiked supporter. If you go down to the woods today, you’re sure of a big surprise.

Be quiet, Miriam! (opens the original)

Miriam Margoyles is a pretentious, uber-privileged potty-mouth. So why am I warming to her? Want unlimited, ad-free access? Become a spiked supporter. It’s widely believed that Kenneth Tynan was the first person ever to say ‘fuck’ on British television, in 1965. But, wouldn’t you know, Miriam Margolyes had a go first, in a 1963 episode of University Challenge. Sadly for her, the word was bleeped out and she’s been trying to make up for it ever since. A fellow thespian recalled that she once gave
Nature worship can be lethal for women (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why does the NHS promote ‘natural’ births? Leaving women’s bodies to the whims of nature is a deadly folly. Want unlimited, ad-free access? Become a spiked supporter. Nature-worship is a weird thing – especially in women. You can perhaps understand what was appealing about a pre-industrial set-up for men, though I’m sure, as a die-hard modernist, I would find it unattractive no matter what sex I was. As for ‘rewilding’ fans of both sexes – have they not seen Jurassic Park? No doubt lulled into a
