Hallo Readers,

Look, we can take this pretty shortly. Of course, there is absolutely nothing surprising about the fact that the ragbag of piss-artists, Fox News hosts, sycophants, and liars that make up 47’s cabinet have made a major cock-up. It is not surprising that they have attempted to blame everybody but themselves, including bashing the whistleblower, who did not volunteer to be party to a series of top secret messages on Signal, calling him a scumbag and other such epithets, with what WTF strongly believes to be a double side order of anti-Semitism. It is not surprising that 47 is standing by his appointees, while simultaneously claiming to know nothing about it. What really struck WTF this week was the fact that the parties concerned in this massive fuck-up are not only unrepentant, but that they can place their hand on the Bible, which they claim guides their lives, and proceed to lie with impunity, coupled with a revolting smirk which both freezes the soul and makes the blood boil. And what makes it worse is that they know that they are lying, and they know that we know that they are lying and that most of the people to whom they are speaking know that they are lying, but they do not care. They do not care because they know that absolutely nothing will come of it. The boss will back them up. The law makers whose job it is to police them will back them up. The Attorney General, who smugly promised the Senate that she would administer the Justice Department impartially and fairly when it was absolutely obvious that she would not (which is why she was chosen), will back them up. The slimeballs on Fox News, Newsmax and on the Christian channel that employs the bloke who berated Zelinskyy for not wearing a suit and who is knocking off Marjorie Taylor Green, will back them up. So suck it up because this is the new normal.

Ralph Waldo Emerson once observed ‘he louder he talked of his honour, the faster we counted the spoons’. In the same way, the more these people talk about God and hang large crucifixes around their necks, the bigger liars they are, most notably Goebbels Barbie, the White House Press Secretary, and Injustice Barbie, the Attorney General who yesterday announced that she had no intention of investigating what is clearly an egregious breach of security and bashed Joe Biden instead. And Action Man Pissed Pete, purportedly a born-again Christian who promised the Senate Committee which approved his nomination that he would give up drinking if he got the gig as Defence Secretary. These terrible people dishonour religion in the same way that they dishonour government, responsibility, and truth. Christian is as Christian does. And on that basis, they ain’t Christians.

*****************************************************************************

We start our review of the week’s crummy clothing with comic and TV host Noel Fielding and his girlfriend Lliana Bird at the Royal Television Society Awards in London.

She looks okay. He doesn’t. He looks like a right prat. Men should not wear skinny jeans, dye their hair the same colour as Cleopatra and wear a coat last seen on a cuddly toy.

Here we have actor Lily Gladstone wearing Simone Rocha at the Opening Gala for her movie The Wedding Banquet in London. Mind how you go…

Yurgle! Was Lily taking part in the school sack race? How does she walk with that plastic-looking bicycle chain around her knees? And what on earth possessed her to put on this ridiculous garment?

Time to meet Canadian make-up artiste and TV personality Jay Manuel at the premiere of Netflix’s The Life List at New York’s Plaza Hotel. The top end of Jay looks mostly fine. But scroll down slowly…

What the actual fuck are those jeans? Why are they wrinkling round his ankles like a Sharpei’s bum? And why the fuckety fuck is he wearing clown shoes? WTF also does not like the way his hair goes up in a point like a Mekon. Warning! Those with a clown phobia, scroll down quickly to the next entry.

Mind you, now that you’ve got here, you may not thank me for this one either. This is actor Ncuti Gatwa aka Dr Who, also wearing Simone Rocha.

In the lovely seaside town of Poole in leafy Dorset is a statue of the Founder of the scouting movement, Sir Robert Baden-Powell.

Ncuti has drawn inspiration from this statue with his little shorts and socks. However, one feels that Sir Robert would not have gone all fancy on the collar.

And next up, actor Amanda Brugel at the premiere of the final season of  The Handmaid’s Tale in Los Angeles. She plays Rita.

If a maypole walked the red carpet in a white pantsuit and stilettos, this is what it would look like.

Now we have actor Pedro Pascale at the premiere of season 2 of The Last Of Us at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, wearing St Laurent.

Down to the waist, Pedro looks dashing. That is until you get to the leather trousers tucked into leather waders. Is he modelling himself on King Charles? King Charles likes fishing in streams, most of which he owns himself, and he also likes wearing Tartan. But as far as WTF is aware, he does not combine the two of them in one go and quite rightly so.

And finally, we have actor Kat Graham promoting her movie Duplicity in New York.

WTF is fairly battle hardened after a decade or more of this blog, but even she emitted a squawk like an electrocuted parrot upon catching sight of Kat’s décolletage perking out from the bottom of what looks suspiciously like a lady barristers’ collarette as worn in Court with a wig and gown. The unexpected appearance of tits when tits are not supposed to appear is almost enough to distract appalled onlookers from the rest of the get-up. Is unexpected cleavage the new builders bum?

This week’s It’s Got To Go comes from WTF aficionados Ben and Kathryn from Bromley, who are vowing that they would rather go to prison than pay an outrageous parking ticket. Ben and Kathryn, their daughter and their doggy parked up in a wood in Kent and put £3.50 into the ticket machine, one of those where you have to enter your registration number. Having got halfway through typing in the number, the machine spat the ticket out with the number not fully displayed on it but their £3.50 deposited in the machine. Two weeks later, Ben was extremely surprised to receive a parking ticket for not displaying the registration on the ticket, even though it was the machine, rather than them, at fault. They unsuccessfully appealed the ticket and have since discovered that at least seven other people had suffered the same fate during the same hour on the same machine. Since then, the alleged fine has gone up to £140 and they are now receiving threatening letters from bailiffs various intent upon seizing their goods and chattels, excluding, one hopes, the doggy. Ben and Kathryn are undeterred, and they will not pay the fine because they they do not see why they should have to fork up again when they paid the ticket and could not comply with the rest of the terms because the machine itself was defective. And quite right too. It’s a scandal. It’s Got to Go.

Ok Readers, that’s your lot for this week please keep sending in your top suggestions for It’s Got to Go as well as your comments, which WTF much enjoys. You can follow me on @wtffashionshark.bsky.social. Let us meet again next Friday. Be good x
