Where in the world is Aaron Porter?

Today, Glasgow students visited young Labour conference in order to tell Aaron Porter what a crap job he’s doing as NUS president. Having been sacrificed to us by his Labour bosses so they could clear the door of the clearly terrifying mob, Aaron was kettled by us. Much screaming of “I don’t expect to be [...]

Egyptian Riot Helmets: An Appreciation

Over here at the Free Hetherington we’ve got one decommissioned riot helmet from the polis, but one day we might have to follow the example of Egyptian protesters and make our own ingenious designs from whatever’s lying around. Here’s a few of the best; I look on them with envy. Yer man here is not [...]

And it seems to me that you lived your life like a shitebag in the wind.

Mind when the media took it upon themselves to decide that Diana was “the people’s princess” even though she had just as little to do with us untitled scum as the rest of them? Well, Aaron Porter would do well to remember that just because the media treat you like you’re King of the Students [...]

Gradually, ever more horrible, cringeworthy and sometimes fucking funny [...]

Foxageddon

When two babies were bitten in their house by a fox the other day, I wondered why the media were going so absolutely baws oot crazy about it, and made a quiet wee joke to myself that foxes were going to be the Daily Mail’s new target. Lo and behold, the campaign begins! It’s taken [...]

Squeaky Bum Time for Cameron

We swear we’ll post something more substantial when everybody’s calmed the fuck down.

Oh WHAT.

Just when you thought you had enough reasons to set The Sun on fire, they go and give you another one! Most of the complaints I’ve seen about this one run along the lines of “Oh, how dare they compare Cameron to a REAL CHANGE like Obama!” and sure, I can go along with that [...]
