If Ioan ever wins a songwriting award I'm definitely going to bring up that his first composition was called Hold Your Pee Pee Grow.

Massive Streisand Effect with the whole Macklemore/Ed Sheeran thing. If a couple of people hadn't got so mad he would be saying free Palestine so some pretty disinterested people waiting for Ed Sheeran lol.

The sheer volume of people who decided that this story was, actually, when you think about it, about the trans debate…will any of them ever go “wait a second, that’s mental!” - no, of course not.

Indeed. SS embodies the whole sorry mess, in that hardly anyone in it ever saw Arday as a person. For Cambridge he was a way to buff their credentials, to be discarded when he became embarrassing. For Sodha he was a prop to air grievances about “gender ideology”.

Extraordinary credit to Sadiq Khan for pushing through this deeply controversial policy. This is what can happen when politicians are prepared to stick to their principles.

Completely agree about bizarre and dangerous attitudes to young adults. Also Starmer's ability to take a policy that will make some people cross but win him political capital with others, then panic and tweak it so it makes everyone cross, is unparalleled.

I'd probably trade my ability at chess for something that I didn't waste so much time on and didn't make me unreasonably angry. I'd probably trade it for something practical like making furniture. I'm pretty good at chess so reckon I could make a decent bed or sofa no worries.

Unless a great many more people start to call this out for what it actually is, we are well and truly lost. www.jewishnews.co.uk/voice-of-the...
Excerpt from the piece: "Call it out. Don’t shrug your shoulders, or pretend that so much of what you’re seeing is simply ‘legitimate criticism of Israel’. 

"Because it isn’t. And deep down, you know it isn’t. You know what criticism of Israel is, and you know that when people start ranting about “Zionism owning politicians and the media” or sharing false flag conspiracy theories about attacks on Jews or Jewish institutions, it’s yesterday’s National Front talking points, reheated for today’s mainstream consumption."

Horrific. And I find it very troubling a lot of people seem unable to condemn these attacks and express solidarity with our Jewish friends without some sort of qualification. Dark times.

A lifetime ago I was in a band and used to agonise over writing lyrics. One day I was talking to a friend and he said 'I really like that Same Jeans song because sometimes I also wear the same pair of jeans for four days' and I thought maybe I should worry less about the lyrics.
