The Tap Room Video Show

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Petunia Winegum on December 3, 2015

The Anna Raccoon Archives

The Thin Blue Line

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Petunia Winegum on November 30, 2015

Politics, it is true, attracts certain ‘types’, often in stereo. On the left, there is the social crusader whose guilt at his comfortable middle-class upbringing is manifested as doing the right thing by those who didn’t share

A New Broom

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Petunia Winegum on November 28, 2015

Historic Allegations of a ‘Liverpool Kiss’.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on November 28, 2015

Bring out your grievances! Bring out your grievances! Let the charges ring out!

Truth is the first casualty.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on November 20, 2015

As the media gird their loins for days and weeks worth of satisfying bleeding, crying, heart-rending front pages, one question stands out ‘How could young men become so radicalised that they turn into suicide bombers’.

The Cambridge Companion to the Qur’an…

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on November 14, 2015

Ms Raccoon has had her nose in this book all week-end. As with the bible, one can play pick n’ mix’ to one’s heart content. I hadn’t quite appreciated why it was

Friday 13th – Lucky for some!

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on November 1, 2015 Wow! Just wow! Ms Raccoon has just returned from the hospital. Ten months ago they thought I had ‘two months at best’ – at that point you are formally designated ‘terminally ill’; that …Continue reading →

Trigger Mortis.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on November 10, 2015

One of the most chilling images in Orwell’s dystopian Oceania was the army of young ‘Spies’; the children who struck terror into adult hearts by threatening to expose any deviation from approved behaviour.

‘You’re a traitor!’

Is that a Gun in your pocket?

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on November 8, 2015

Or are you still ‘transitioning’ Officer? – As Ms West might have been forced to inquire these days.

The Existentialist Mr ‘Blacker Does Not Exist’

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on November 5, 2015

However – he did grandly announce that he did not exist, from his position of principled non-existence. Jean-Paul Sartre would have been proud of him.

If nobody is around to hear

Polio Braggadocio.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on November 3, 2015

Tell me, do you hesitate to pick up a beautiful feather, discarded by an escaping pheasant? Do you hear your Mother’s voice as you bend down to touch it? I can tell your age by your answer.

Our Sweet Lords

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Petunia Winegum on October 29, 2015

Out-of-touch, privileged, cosseted from the real world, little or no interest in what goes on beyond their bubble, imbued with an arrogant born-to-rule sense of their own importance; sons, daughters, nephews and nieces of former occupants, inheriting

When is A Woman not A Woman?

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Petunia Winegum on October 28, 2015

…when she has a vagina, apparently. Germaine Greer is a woman, but not one at the top of Cardiff University’s Student Union Christmas card list. Why? Because she dares to mention the unmentionable, that transsexuals aren’t actually

‘This Septic Isle’ – full of elderly Paedophiles.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on October 28, 2015

Oh! Revoir!

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on October 18, 2015

Paul Revoir is a journalist. At least, he’s portrayed as such on Journalisted. He grubbed around in the bowels of the Daily Mail for years, delivering earth shattering opera to his Editor:

Collateral Damage.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on October 17, 2015

I woke last Sunday morning with a particular image in my mind, that could be aptly described as ‘collateral damage’ to the continuing #CSA saga. Within an hour, I had dismissed the thought

The Pied Pipers of Paedo Panic.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on October 16, 2015

For Rosa.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

Slack Narcissus

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Petunia Winegum on October 14, 2015

Cate Blanchett is an intriguing actress – interesting-looking, androgynous, a touch of Garbo about her. She climbed higher in my estimation last week when expressing her exasperation at her peers indulging in endless selfies when attending a

Jeremy the Gardener.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on October 13, 2015

Watson Tide

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Petunia Winegum on October 12, 2015
