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

Just how do you rehabilitate a society where two thirds of the adult males have been jailed for sexual offences? Where more than half the population are dependant pensioners, and where, within the

Rutting Rutlands, Hapless Hipsters, and Follicle Oracles.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on October 28, 2015

The last Duke of Rutland’s Mother in law fell down a lift shaft, suffering a head injury which left her ‘sexually voracious’. Her divorce featured a photograph of the naked Duchess, bar a

That’s Settled.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on October 21, 2015

DCI Paul Settle’s evidence to the Home Affairs Committee yesterday has been fascinating. A solid, old fashioned Police Officer, standing his ground in the face of his senior officers and an array of

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

The Times excels itself in the blame game.

In times of yore, Kelvin MacKenzie, then at the helm of the great ship ‘Sun’, was of the opinion that the

For Rosa.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on October 15, 2015

When Clive James wrote a few months ago of being ‘stuck with the embarrassment of still being alive’, it struck a particular chord with me – as a number of people thought it might, judging by the

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

Fellow geriatrics will have sympathised. When a man reaches the age at which he remembers to wear a vest when he goes out, he also sends off to the Daily Express for one of those

Watson Tide

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Petunia Winegum on October 12, 2015

If we were to think of those who voted for the 2003 Allied invasion of Iraq and did their utmost to block any investigation into the affair, certain obvious names would leap forward; it’s significant that these

The Spying Game

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Gildas the Monk on October 11, 2015

It is 1972 in a sepia coloured England. Everything is black and white, or beige. In a Lancastrian mill town there is an infant school built by the Victorians; all granite and high ceilings and heavy

Portuguese Enfranchisees.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on October 11, 2015

There’s been a coup in Portugal! That is according to the newly trending hashtag #PortugalCoup .

Exciting stuff a coup. Jackbooted men marching around,

Thoroughly Modern Morals

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Petunia Winegum on October 10, 2015

A long-time commentator on here pointed me in the direction of a Channel 4 programme looking back at TV from the 60s the other week; I was tempted solely by the fact that an ageing Peter Wyngarde

Angels with Dirty Faces

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Petunia Winegum on October 9, 2015

An 11-year-old in Jefferson County, Tennessee this week shot dead his 8-year-old neighbour because she wouldn’t let him play with her puppy; the shotgun belonged to his father. Across the Atlantic almost fifteen years earlier, Bristol

The Ring Cycle

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Petunia Winegum on October 8, 2015

Back in the 1980s, I was an avid reader of the music press, and my favourite weekly was ‘Melody Maker’. Within a few months of purchasing my first issue, I became familiar with the different writers on

Exaro digging ever deeper.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on October 7, 2015

Herr Watts – Mark Flick.

It is not the first time in Mark Watts’ chequered career that he has been accused of being ‘McCarthyite’ or instigating a witch hunt.

Good Evans?

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Petunia Winegum on October 6, 2015

John Leslie, one-time ‘Blue Peter’ presenter and 1990s mainstream TV mainstay, has recently spoken of the accusation that effectively ended his high-profile, £350,000-a-year career. The story that emerged into the public domain in 2002 appeared in

The Walton Hop and Operation Ravine.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on October 5, 2015

When the Walton Hop opened its doors in the Surrey countryside of 1958 it would scarcely have been described as a ‘teen disco’ – too few people would have understood the meaning. ‘Teenagers’ had barely been discovered,

Forever Autumn

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Gildas the Monk on October 4, 2015

“The world has changed.I feel in the water.I feel it in the earth.I smell it in the air.”

Thus spoke Arwen, the “Evenstar” as she was also referred to

Asda’s Got a Brand New Bag

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Gareth on October 3, 2015

From this Monday, the whole might of the law will prevent supermarkets from giving free carrier bags to consenting adults. Not really a proper law, but an Order made under the Climate Change Act, which allows extra

Anyone for Denis?

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Petunia Winegum on October 3, 2015

When Tony Benn died last year, the obituaries tended to focus on the radical old uncle of the elder statesman years rather than the belligerent troublemaker of the turbulent early 80s. Benn successfully reshaped his public perception

Who’s The Daddy Now?

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Petunia Winegum on October 2, 2015

Excuse me while I light up. I smoke a lot of cigarettes and drink a lot of black coffee whilst writing; my teeth bear the scars, but it could be worse, I suppose. At least I’m not

Predictive Policing and ‘Allegator’ Algorithms.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on October 1, 2015

Traditional Policing has always paid attention to crime ‘hot spots’. Keeping an eye on the ATM machine where several muggings have occurred over the previous few weeks; Making a regular ‘drive by’ a park where a rapist
