Your astrological week ahead for August 2nd, with Psychic Bob

Aries, March 21st–April 19th

A difficult moment in a job interview when they ask your biggest weakness and you reply ‘Jaffa Cakes’.

Taurus, April 20th–May 20th

Yeah, not doing great on Tinder. I’ve had to set my radius to a level usually only seen in lighthouse keepers.

Gemini, May 21st–June 21st

Always awkward when they throw the flowers and whoever catches them is next, at a funeral.

Cancer, June 22nd–July 22nd

“Nepo baby? No, I’m a depot baby; delivered at the Eddie Stobart depot in Clayton, Staffordshire to two proud trucker parents.”

Leo, July 23rd–August 22nd

Be kind to yourself. Because I’m certainly not going to be, you wanker.

Virgo, August 23rd–September 22nd

Unfortunately, editing my own Wikipedia page to assert that I am a mass-murderer rather than a serial killer is in fact how they caught me.

Libra, September 23rd–October 22nd

Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what France can do for you instead. They’re not busy.

Scorpio, October 23rd–November 22nd

“The Empire has created a new weapon that can blow up whole planets!” “Right. So Star Destroyers, that was just marketing, was it?”

Sagittarius, November 22nd–December 21st

“Are you not entertained?” screams Russell Crowe to his family in every ad break of every show if they dare attempt even a moment’s conversation.

Capricorn, December 22nd–January 19th

Why not sleep with a silk pillowcase, like a fancy little lord?

Aquarius, January 20th–February 18th

The old man in an alleyway opens up his trenchcoat and reveals three otters standing one on top of the other, the top one wearing a mask.

Pisces, February 19th–March 20th 

“Please take off your shoes and place them in the tray provided. And now your coat. And your socks, trousers, and underwear. Welcome to Sweden, you nude bastard.”

The Archbishop of Canterbury on… how long till the next Tommy Robinson Crowdfunder?

WAKING with a hangover so monstrous I must clench my buttocks to prevent myself excreting my liver until the moment of crisis passes, I reflect with no little irritation upon a new appointment.

His name is Parsons, my new private secretary. He has been suggesting that as Archbishop I adopt a more religious attitude in relation to my role. He has been getting altogether above himself in his pestering.

I am just in the process of mentally composing a two-word response to his latest email in this regard – ‘Fuck off’ – when the lights to my bedchamber suddenly flicker mysteriously, brightening then dimming as I become aware of a figure at the doorway.

‘Repent ye!’ intones the figure. ‘For I, Christ your Lord, am your Messiah and saviour. Acknowledge me as such or face an awful reckoning.’

Bleary-eyed, I contemplate the backlit figure who does indeed bear the eerie semblance of Jesus. I step out of bed and approach him. It is a moment of truth. I stand face-to-face with him, stare into his water-blue eyes – and yank off his beard.

‘This is your most pathetic stunt yet, Parsons!’ I boom. 

‘But Your Grace, since nothing else works I thought -’

‘That you would dress as Jesus to con me into the existence of God?’ I said. ‘Do fucking better, shithead!’ Upon which I cuff him roundly on the head, sending his fake Jesus wig flying and off and him scuttling away. 

The matter dispatched, I take a light breakfast and peruse a periodical. Therein I read that Bob Geldof, of Live Aid fame, has taken up cudgels for the people of Gaza, accusing the Israel Defense Forces of ‘lying’ about their plight.

Fuck me till my eyes bleed, you got right on the fucking case there! Mr Outspoken Champion Of The Oppressed takes a mere 20 months to haul his arse off the fucking fence and take a lead in saying what’s been fucking obvious to everyone else for fucking ages! Thanks a bunch for your fucking leadership, Saint Bob! But don’t think you’re front of the queue, get to the fucking back of the line among the rest of the wretches belatedly changing their tune now that it’s looking really, really bad for you hitherto IDF-ignoring cunts! Maybe you’ll be joined in six months’ time by your mate Bono once everyone’s dead and the fucking coast is clear to say something!

Mixed martial artist Conor McGregor has lost his appeal against a jury’s finding against him in a civil sexual assault case.

Oh well, there you go! Following the fucking Donald Trump playbook, that clears the fucking way for you to be elected president of the Irish Republic! Because the one thing about a knucklebrained, nasty, power-obsessed fucker like you that’s smaller than your dick is your sense of fucking shame! I mean, the the fact that this could actually come to pass is further proof that the 21st century is the shittiest century since the fucking 11th!

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, the English Defence League founder whose unreal name is Tommy Robinson, is being sought in relation to the assault of a man at St Pancras station. He has just arrived in Tenerife, Spain. 

And given Tommy’s fondness for them, can it be long before a fucking Crowdfunder follows, grifting ackers from his fucking mug followers who make Farage fans look like shrewd financial sceptics? He’s already had to stump up for his flight to Tenerife, and despite endless accusations of dipping into earlier funds, it’s as safe as putting money in a fucking ISA for dense Tommy fans! Thank fuck fascism is led by fascists, I say, thick, recklessly violent fucking fascists, because if fascism were led by non-fascists we’d be living in a fucking fascist state today!

Finally, Camilla Tominey has written in the Telegraph about the new party launched by Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana: ‘Something has actually gone seriously wrong with British society, if a party such as this could poll at 18 per cent.’

Hahahaha, it’s a shambles but you fucking people are shitting it, aren’t you? Cunts like you have been asking why the poor don’t just eat cake for so long and getting away with it, and now your fucking febrile imaginations are haunted by images of being carted to the guillotine in tumbrels and having your fucking heads lopped off in front of rows of cackling old women knitting away! The only fucking thing wrong with this country is that a party stating the bleeding, urgently fucking obvious is only polling 18 per cent! Why the fuck isn’t it 98 per cent?
