We at the Bastard are not the Washington Post, or the Daily Telegraph. We are NOT constrained by the Needs of Advertisers, and we have nothing to do with the political lobby system, so prevalent in the Westminster village, which has turned the ordinary decent hacks into the tame pets of a corrupt political class. You piss us off or offend the great and long suffering Public and we go for your jugular. See our award winning privacy policy.

Our Job is to keep you honest

We believe it is our job to think the unthinkable, and say the unsayable, and make you think and question the assumptions that live your life by. We also want to bring some fun into your lives.

We not only report News, and We have even broken News in the UK that the mainstream media and its bloated owners do not want us to know. We have a sense of fun and mischief. Just occasionally we will make up a story, and it is up to the reader to decide which story that is. What we will tell you is that no story, appearing in the Bastard is completely fictional. All are based on some truth.
