Fungible as fuck.

Psipook says:

Let's not get excited now. Even if Johnson goes, the Tories will still be lording it over us; the chumocracy, the entitlement, the social and economic vampirism ain't going away. Whoever takes over will continue to privatise the NHS, coddle big business, trash the environment, persecute refugees, outlaw protest and all the rest of it.

The sociopathy and the arrogance is not going away.

Johnson resigning/being forced out would be only the latest facile twist in the spectacle of our dereliction.

The best we can hope for is a brief spasm of schadenfreude before we turn back to warming our hands at the flaming brazier of thwarted hopes.

Should the European flag be illegal? We ask our expert

So, Brexiteers are arguing it should be illegal to fly the European flag from now on, punishable by fine and/or imprisonment.

I wonder how remainers/rejoiners should respond to that.

Sanctioned is a novel by Chris Page. You can read the first three chapters here.

Look the bollocks, be the bollocks

"It is very important in these times of social, political, and environmental collapse to wear clothes emblazoned with a small red tag on the chest.

The red tag and the white lettering it contains should be appropriated from an anti-consumerist artist of renown, who in turn appropriated her look, for the purposes of satire, from the mainstream press and marketing.

What is clearly needed now is another t-shirt designer who has appropriated the red tag from the fashionistas own twice-appropriated red tag, who will sell it back to the punters.

This all sounds like a lot of bollocks.

Which it is.

Hence the design.

And the others in the series.

Wear and appropriate the bollocks from Fictional Shirts."

So the marketing blurb goes.

It seems that everyone needs to be wearing some kind of red and white tag on their shirts these days. Osaka is flecked liberally with red, as if splattered with the gore of some kind of mad marketers chainsaw convention.

Meanwhile, in London there seems to be a perma-gueue outside the branch of a particular brand just around the corner from Gosh! Comics.

Thoughts came together in a rush: I need money, this fetishistic branding is bollocks, I like playing with graphics, I like t-shirts, and if I can diversify a little, perhaps I can drive more people towards buying my books, and most of all, I want a t-shirt with a red bollocks flash on it.

Which led me to set up this little business thing.

It's not all tees, though. There are mugs (appropriately), phone and tablet covers, and bags and other bits and bobs, all emblazoned with bollocks.

And it's not all bollocks, either. I also have shirts and bric-a-brac printed with 'innit' and 'fetish'. And there will be lots more as we go along.

Now that you know you want a bollocks shirt or mug, you can get yourself one at my online store, appropriately and pithily named Fictional Shirts.

Get yourself Sanctioned!

Britain is sinking under the weight of scroungers, skivers, shirkers, refugees, migrants, libtards, experts, and snowflakes. The economy is hobbled and the very fabric of society is in need of a good scrubbing. Gideon Smith, an agent of the Department of Aspiration, has been tasked with doing something about it — and in no uncertain terms.

Available in paperback from your regional Amazon and in Kindle.

Chris page was interviewed by his very own sock puppet and managed to get through the whole conversation without once mentioning darning.

Psipook is an online magazine and publisher's site mash up for the novels and short stories of Chris Page, humorous fiction, satire, arty-farty stuff, polemic, cats and anything we see fit to include. Chris Page is not to be confused with the other Chris Pages. While I have your attention, can I recommend not drinking Red Bull with or without vodka? The reason I mention that is I just had one, with vodka, in the hope that the combination of sugar, alcohol and caffeine would put me on fast forward workwise, and it has done nothing of the sort. I just feel icky. Everything now is contaminated by foul bubblegum. The red wine and salami I am treating myself with as I write this tastes of that vile liquid imbecility. Just say no. That's what I say.
