  • WTF Mega-Oscars Special

    Hallo Readers, It is bad enough when people say something bad. It is much, much worse when they, or other people on their behalf, try to explain away what they meant when you know perfectly well what they meant because you are a… Continue reading

  • WTF Growth Special

    Hallo Readers,  One week into Donald Trump’s presidency, WTF wrote ‘Trump’s election has not turned out to be as bad as she thought. It is much worse’. Similarly, while WTF knew that Liz Truss’s tenure as Prime Minister would be a shitshow… Continue reading
