Sagal Abdi-Wali came to the UK aged 7 having fled the war in Somalia with her family. She has thrived. Leader of Camden council and now the MP for Holborn and St Pancras. A narrative that runs counter to all we are told about refugees. Congratulations www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

That's great. I'd not heard it for years. On re-listening, it's so obviously a Rodgers/Edwards production. Wonder why I didn't realise that at the time!

Nigel Farage is now a desperate man. Chasing every headline; no low too low; the politics of the gutter, racism and fear embraced. His pronouncement on Fairford trying to link with ZERO evidence to asylum is beyond pathetic.

It's been so much fun, Richard. As always my picks barely troubled the scorers. Sometimes I wonder 'Is it me?' But mostly I just think it's everybody else 🙂 Thank you for all the time and effort you put in. Enjoy your retirement!

Hi Richard. Hope you're fit and well. Here are my 5: 1. Jimmy Hendrix - Are you Experienced. 2. Curtis Mayfield - Curtis. 3. The Beat - I just can't stop it. 4. Counting Crows - August and everything after. 5. De La Soul - 3 Feet High and Rising.

Curtis Mayfield, around 1986, in a Bierkeller in Bristol, UK. Maybe 150 people there. Danced and sang along the whole gig, about 10 feet from the small stage. I feel a bit moist-eyed just thinking about it.

James Jamerson. Played on 23 Billboard #1 records, and 56 RnB #1's according to Wikipedia. And about 50 albums in my record collection.

As is now routine, BBC News leading the app with uncritical, verbatim propaganda from Reform. WHEN is #OFCOM going to stop this ludicrous bias?

Lead story from BBC News app: “Tice says government trying to ‘retrospectively change rules’ as Reform receives £72m…”

A misunderstanding by our old farmland and village idiot, Wally. Blind as a bat and deaf as a post, he misheard pheasant as peasant. Massive apologies to all etc.

Nigel Farage said he’d declare a “national emergency” and make Parliament sit 24 hours a day if Reform UK are elected, and people were quick to point out a few flaws in his plan.

How many times does the BBC lead on a murder story with a large headline stating: Man accused of murder 'not guilty,' according to man* Oh, never, right? Because you can see the obvious problem with that style of reportage, right?

I queued up for this concert in 1977, along with my best mate. We got about 10 yards from the door, and they announced it was sold out. I've really struggled to listen to 'No Woman, No Cry' since that day ...

I remember very little of the gig. Just that they sounded pretty good. I lived in Somerset, the first 20 years of my life. About 4 miles from Wells. 🙂

"Britain is not where any of us would wish it to be", Andy Burnham has said... So why are we not currently and actively trying to #RejoinEU? It is one thing admitting the problem, now we need to administer the solution!

I lived in Bath for a year, and actually saw Graduate play live (There was no 'The' in their name). I vaguely remember the nightclub was called 'Moles'.
