Old lefty from South Devon. Likes books, music, and Oxford commas. Still angry about brexit and Johnson, and the whole bunch of chancers and spivs currently failing to run the country. And don't start me off on the orange moron.

At least refuk is now being recognised as a poke in the eye with a blunt stick.

If Reform was in charge, we'd be at war with Iran by now, Farage would've put half of us in internment camps & would be asset stripping the country of whatever the Tories didn't take. Oh & if there was another pandemic, you wouldn't stand a fucking chance.

Boris Johnson didn't pass vetting when Theresa May appointed him Foreign Secretary. The media must have missed that one.

This is the fucking limit. I had no idea that Amazon drivers AREN'T ALLOWED TO SING wat CRUSH this monopoly wtf my levels were already redlining www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...
For example, an Amazon delivery driver, who sits in a cabin surrounded by AI cameras that monitor the driver’s eyes and take points off if the driver looks in a proscribed direction, and monitors the driver’s mouth because singing is not allowed on the job, and rats the driver out to the boss if they do not make quota.

Letter to the FT that stingingly sums up Brexit and the shit creek we now find ourselves in. A terrible idea (naive, prejudiced and uninformed) that has deeply divided us and left us poorer and less secure… but unwilling to face up to the damage we’ve done to ourselves. While the EU moves on.
FINANCIAL TIMES
I was amused - and saddened - to read the latest instalment of the Brexiters' excuses for the poor performance over recent years of the UK economy and the UK's politics. In "Implementation of Brexit became a business fiasco" (Markets Insight, December 19), Paul Marshall acknowledges the cost of the UK's decision to leave the EU. But rather than acknowledge that his analysis was wrong
- cutting ties with your biggest trading partner is never a good idea - Marshall blames bad implementation, and the fact that the EU didn't cut the UK some slack.Implementation of Brexit by the UK has indeed been poor, but that's a direct consequence of the political crisis that everyone should have expected following such a major decision on the back of one simple 52/48 referendum vote at the conclusion of a mind-bogglingly uninformed debate by both sides. That includes the Brexiters' naive insistence that the EU would bend to UK demands and grant it all sorts of privileges not enjoyed by others.
So, the roughly 8 per cent of GDP loss in UK output since the Brexit decision in 2016 is easily explained by three perfectly predictable factors: it was a bad economic decision; it has split UK society politically; and the EU27 has moved on.
  It's time for those who led the UK down this disastrous path to stand up and acknowledge their wrong analysis and naive understanding of Europe. Until that happens, how can one even hope that the UK will begin to heal?

The Prime Minister imitating Enoch Powell’s ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech is sickening. That speech fuelled decades of racism and division. Echoing it today is a disgrace. It adds to anti-migrant rhetoric that puts lives at risk. Shame on you, Keir Starmer.

Still my favourite David Bowie story.
A word about Shirley Bassey. During the very early days of Ziggy Stardust, we often used to play these fairly grotty clubs called the "workingman's clubs." They were sort of like nightclubs but you got a cheap meal. The whole family would come. A round of beer. A rock act. A stripper-sometimes one in the same. Well, backstage one night I was desperate to use the bathroom. I was dressed in my full, battle finery of Tokyo-spaceboy and a pair of shoes high enough that it induced nose bleeds. I went up to the promoter-actually I tottered over to the promoter-and I asked, "Could you please tell me where the lavatory is?"

And he said, "Yeah, look down that corridor. On the far end of that wall. You see that sink? There you go."

I said, "My good man, I'm not taking a piss in the sink."

He said, "Listen son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

My first car was one of them. 1958 A30, cost me £25 in 1970. 55 mph and 55 mpg, though you had to hold the gearstick in 4th gear. Excellent value for money.
