Apologies if it's been posted before but our dear leader and his former business associate Mr. Kapikanmay have made it into this weeks Private Eye. I don't have the techno skills to post the article but it's under a category "rotten boroughs", general tales of alleged misconduct in local government.
Possibly the pinnacle of his career?

Or plumbing the depths of having no integrity and poor judgement. (Allegedly).

I’ve been expecting that for weeks. Even bought the last two editions thinking it would appear. Thought there would be some comment about the council leader saying there would be no investigation.

“Eagle-eyed reader”. Wonder who that was?  Or an insider at the Club?

Most admit, as I’ve been buying my golden nuggets and my pack up I’ve flicked through Private Eye every time and seen nothing...I’ll have to nip in tomorrow and grab a copy for prosperity...

I expect Ian Hislop to be ‘summoned’ to Fenty Towers in the not too distant future 😉

Next stop, Have I Got News For You!!


Jo Brand: On this week’s ‘Odd One Out’ round...

Benign lender...John Shelton Fenty...
Thomas Edison,
Humphry Davy, and
Joseph Swan

Merton: Is this abaaat breaking things? A swan can break yer arm. Edison broke, I dunno, lightbulbs. Fenty broke a child’s flaaaagg...and a football club.

Brand: You’re close Paul.

Hislop: Is it that each of Edison, Davy and Swan we’re credited or miscredited with inventing the lightbulb? But John Shelton Fenty is famous for scaling floodlights to change lightbulbs?

Brand: Well done Ian. 3 points

Merton: That’s 3 more points than Grimsby have had in a while!

Hislop: Apart from Fenty’s driving licence! There’s usually at least 9 on there

Brand: Allegedly

Hislop: Allegedly

Jo Brand: On to the missing words round... this week’s guest publication is the Official Match Day Programme of Grimsby Town Football Club.

Soft, strong and very, very long...How Andrex do you feel?


Brand: “When I first came here it was like ‘John Fenty is [BLANK]’. Well I can tell you he is one of the nicest blokes I’ve met”.

Merton: When I first came here it was like...John Fenty is the one in the turtle neck. John Fenty is the one dangling from the floodlight. John Fenty is watching me and pointing a pistol at my loaf of bread?

Brand: Close Paul. John Fenty is the anti-Christ!

Hislop: You said it!

Brand: Next. “With everything going in our favour, there is no reason why we couldn’t, within the next five years, regain our [BLANK]”

Hislop: Dignity? Self respect?

Merton: Freedom?

Brand: Wrong again. ‘Championship status’ apparently. I asked him indoors about championing ship status, he turned to port, I gave him a little tug and he drops anchor in my sheltered dock

[canned laughter]

Brand: Finally. “I deconstructed the [BLANK] to the point where it was safe and couldn’t be considered a danger.”

Merton: I deconstructed the...bomb...smoke bomb...smoke bomb in tampon

Hislop: He’s finally lost it. Preposterous.

Merton: Atom. Atomic Kitten. Once driven forever smitten. Vauxhall Cavalier. Roundhead. Stacy Coldicott. Big Brother 4. George Orwell. “Orrr...well, we’ll always have that night at Anfield”. Anne Frank. Frank Lampard. Plunge or push up. Offside trap. Giovanni Trappatoni. Tony Rees. “I Want To Break Free”. Free Willy. Rob Eagle. The Eagle Has Landed. Legal Beagle. Philip Day. Wilkin Chapman. Leslie Ash. Men Behaving Badly. Fenty and May. May The Fraud Be With You. Star Wars. War on Drugs. Peru. Paddington Bear. Michael Bond. Bond with the fans. Drinks in JD’s Nightscene...Gary Childs...Child’s...CHILD’S FLAG!!

Brand: Jesus Paul. Him indoors could’ve orgasmed five times in the time it took you there...

“I deconstructed the CHILD’S FLAG to the point where it was safe and couldn’t be considered a danger.”


Soooo.... To our winners, Ian Hislop, Shutes, Stockwood and Pettit, the keys to the sleeping giant of English football.

To our losers, Paul Merton, John Fenty - a lifetime of ridicule and possible custodial sentence...

Goodnight!
