Is there anyone in the American Congress who is not comfortably rich?As a contrast, following our recent General Election, quite a few Labour MP’s lost their seats as former Northern ‘Red Wall’ constituencies voted Conservative to ‘Get Brexit Done’.…

We don’t get that in the UK so much; politicians playing the God/Jesus card. It seems a perculier American politics thing.One thing I would say to them, and I posted it on Twitter for anyone who follows me there, is if you are a Christian as you cla…

I’ve been having quite the chat on Twitter with Caro Maple over this. Seems she’s a fan too and she’s coming over for a couple of the gigs in March/April, as is Anouk and Minsku.Did I say I have a spare stalls ticket for London RFH if anyone’s inter…

I’ve posted in the RIP thread that it’s the 37th anniversary of Karen Carpenters death.I’ve always loved her voice and wondered what she could have done with her unique instrument and perfect pitch if she had sung more progressive songs rather than …

Today is the 37th anniversary of the death of Karen Carpenter.She was gifted the voice of an angel. She never took a singing lesson in her short life and just wanted to be a drummer. In 2019, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra teamed up with Karen’s b…

There are strong parallels between what is happening in the UK at the moment and in the US. It’s founded on telling lies and if anyone calls you out, you just double down on them. I’m not sure how your media deals with this; we know that Fox News se…

Has anyone said the Tories are still scummy twats recently?We’ve officially turned our backs on the EU and are now in the implementation period. Not much will change till the end of the year but after that, who knows as the Tories are corrupt, socio…

I like the birdsong idea.When my Mum died a couple of years ago, and we knew she wanted to be buried, we had that time when you had to decide on the coffin. You know, bloody expensive things that look just like, well, every other coffin you’ve ever …

It seems many on here are reluctant to post what they would want their exit music to be.We were driving on a precipitous mountain road in Gran Canaria and I was contemplating the 1,000 foot drop off the edge and Some People popped up on a random pla…

How do you feel today?
I’ve made a contact on Twitter who goes on there under the name of Duncan Poundcake (for anyone interested, that was one of the aliases that Ian Drury went under; along with Arnold Chickenshorts!). He is a blogger who writes columns about financial …

How do you feel today?
That all said, I remain highly suspicious of the 2019 GE results.The official postal vote turnout is yet to be confirmed, but independant polls have indicated that it could be as high as 38%. Of every 100 votes cast, 38 were cast by postal vote. If …

How do you feel today?
As much as I am the first to call out the corruption in current Govts at home and around the world; somehow, when the people are given the chance to take a different path, they fail to do so.I like to think that it’s the due to the manipulation and …

Agnes Obel - FamiliarThis shares a link with Tiptoe in that, what appears to be a male vocal part in the song is actually Obel’s voice pitch shifted down similar to the way Alison’s is. Hauntingly beautiful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32kYH6XZr…

I like to think that I live in a democratic country where general elections are fair and carried out in a manner to prevent manipulation of the result but, to be brutally honest, if I consider what has been done by various groups & interested pa…

How can I respect a decision arrived at by a consensus of people at a referendum, when it is quite clear that the information provided to inform that decision was erroneous, manipulated By dark money and populated by lies to achieve the result requi…

I caught 30 minutes of the film Hunger Games last night and the parallels in the origins of that story’s conceit to our current situation is striking and frightening in equal measures.

So been a few months since nothing posted here and as something important is happening on Thursday, a quick update.They are still scum. In fact, they’ve become scummier as time moves on. Lies, smears, obfuscation, a complete ineptness at everything …
