Your astrological week ahead for August 23rd, with Psychic Bob

Aries, March 21st–April 19th

Don’t stop believin’! Please, we’re haemorrhaging congregants at this church.

Taurus, April 20th–May 20th

I bet the bloke on the right wasn’t joining in with ‘Pass the Dutchie on the left-hand side’ quite so enthusiastically.

Gemini, May 21st–June 21st

Has anyone asked the meek if they actually want the earth? We could ask them to nominate a leader to answer though anyone volunteering would, by definition, not quality as meek.

Cancer, June 22nd–July 22nd

Britain is a tinderbox. Everyone’s on Tinder.

Leo, July 23rd–August 22nd

Roasts often focus on fucking the other person’s parent as a sign of dominance. But in reality, shagging your mate’s mum was awkward and sad.

Virgo, August 23rd–September 22nd

Lying bruised on the floor, your spiderwebbed iPhone screen has a new notification: ‘You have just been pushed!’ You wish you’d never signed up.

Libra, September 23rd–October 22nd

‘Of course, the best bit is afterwards when you go to the booth and pay £8.99 for a framed photo taken unexpectedly during the bit when you got all wet and pulled a funny face,’ you explain, after sex.

Scorpio, October 23rd–November 22nd

It could have been perfectly innocent. Trump might just have left the meeting with Zelensky and Europe’s leaders halfway through to send Putin a dick pic.

Sagittarius, November 22nd–December 21st

“Want to cry? I’ll give you something to cry about! Because expressing emotions is healthy and I have Terms of Endearment on VHS.”

Capricorn, December 22nd–January 19th

It’s a bad workman who blames his tools, so remember that next time you complain about your micropenis.

Aquarius, January 20th–February 18th

‘Biking Si King Liking Viking Hiking’ is a headline that would cheer us all up. And yet the selfish bastard refuses to press so much as a simple heart on an Instagram of Swedes in the Peak District.

Pisces, February 19th–March 20th

Why did the band on the Titanic play Nearer My God to Thee? Bit on the nose when the encroaching freezing water was enough of a portent of doom. A jazzy tune like The Entertainer might have gone down better in the circumstances.

The Archbishop of Canterbury on… Trump, focusing on the positive side of slavery

WAKING up with a hangover so vast it has its own moons orbiting it, I am pleased to be informed of new rules regarding financial disclosure for members of the House of Lords.

This may impact me as I have been starring in a paid series of public information films for the Japanese Masturbatory Board, extolling the pleasures, health benefits and other merits of onanism. ‘Bashing the bishop’, to use the common parlance, or in this case, the Archbishop. 

Wearing my ecclesiastical garb, and a specially adapted mitre which glows and throbs red, I explain, in phonetic Japanese, why it is no sin to pleasure oneself and statistics have shown that those who do so at least once – or preferably twice – a day have a greater life expectancy than those who abstain, the longer to serve the Lord. 

I have also agreed to the manufacture of a line of Archbishop-themed dildos, created in my image. These I plug at the end of each film, with a ‘two for the price of one’ offer. 

Were the British media to get wind of these adverts they might make hay of them. However, there is a remarkable incuriosity on their part towards Japanese popular culture. Which is why my colleague the Archbishop of Durham, a noted temperance campaigner, advertises Scotch whisky in Japan. 

Musing wryly thus, I take a light breakfast and peruse a periodical. Therein I read that the ‘Wythall Flaggers’, a group organised to attach St George flags to local lampposts, have stated ‘This is NOT racist – never has been, never will be’.

Fuck my dead cat with my dead dog’s dick, are you fucking shitting me? Of course it’s fucking racist, you racist fucks, and if it wasn’t racist then the fucking racists who volunteer to put up these flags and the racists who get some sort of weird fucking racist buzz out of them would be asking what’s the fucking point? It’s racist, organised by racists, the fucking racists of Wythall, and the racist hellholes up and down this racist fucking country from Cuntbridge to Arseswill to Shithole-By-The-Sea! What d’you fucking think it’s about? Euro 2020?

Meanwhile, Conservative frontbencher Robert Jenrick has turned up at an anti-asylum rally in Essex attended by a veteran far-right activist, one Eddy Butler.

Proof if it weren’t already piled up in fucking abundance that Jenrick is one of the greasiest streaks of fucking self-serving, soulless scum currently ‘serving’ in fucking parliament. And given the competition, it’s some achievement to have clambered to the top of that writhing fucking shitheap! Cunt stunts like this only serve to pull the Overton window still further to the right – you can bet at Labour HQ they’re looking at sending one of their own fucking MPs to the next fucking rally like this!

The Labour Party is currently drawing up plans to replace its MP Diane Abbott in the North London seat she currently holds.

Oh, so you’re looking to replace Diane Abbott, are you? How about this for a suggestion: Diane fucking Abbott? You seriously think that some parachuted, chinless, scrubbed-up fucking hack, plucked out of the fucking Labour Party machinery they’ve fucking lived in since they left university is gonna cut the mustard with hacked-off locals? You think you can pin a red rosette on some pliant, Aye-voting, practically AI-generated Starmerite automaton and they’ll be waved straight through? Better be pointlessly ruthless about getting rid of Diane Abbott, that’ll fix all those polls saying you’re less popular than Gregg fucking Wallace!

Finally, Donald Trump has announced that he will be going after America’s Smithsonian museums. His numerous grievances include their ‘wokeness’, their insistence on ‘teaching how bad slavery was’ and having ‘nothing to say about the future’.

Jesus pogoing on a wankstick, where to fucking start with this bloviating fascist pumpkin? You think teaching that slavery was a bad thing is the work of dangerous Marxist extremists? Won’t someone think of the fucking plantation owners, eh? Because it’s hard to see any upsides for the fucking slaves! As for the future, they’re fucking museums, you braindead cunt! Who builds museums to the fucking future? And with a psychopathic, inept, fascist sex offender like you at the helm most people would rather not fucking think about it!
