Imitation Duncan Smith
It is of course unprecedented for any nation to attempt the furtherance of its own interests by influencing the internal affairs of another; and recent reforms at the Ministry for Wogs, Frogs, Huns and Hottentots have ensured that Britain's capacity for damage has been to some extent turned back upon its own less deserving subjects. Nevertheless, the righteous indignation of His Majesty's Government has gained moral support from the United States, whose disinterested concern for the sovereignty of lesser breeds is so legendary as to be virtually mythical. If gerrymandering, tax cuts and the War on Woke aren't enough to swing the general election, a war for Western civilisation against the Yellow Peril might just manage it.

Shark of the New
That stands or falls by price of purchasing;
The cognoscenti therefore tend to rate
Their treasures by the work's completion date.
With trendy youth, good taste does not engage:
Like most investments, art improves with age.
Conceptual consumers are bereaved
To find embalmings dated as conceived.
What Brueghel, Bosch or Goya would be bought
Had it been painted later than was thought?
What vandal, boor or charlatan could wish
To drain sublimity from pickled fish?
Velma D. Hyde
