I've said it before and l'll say it again, Status Quo used to be great. Mind you, the Aphrodites Child '666' album is pretty tremendous as well. Featuring a young Demis Rousoss.

york training and the input of 'foreigners'
I was in York yesterday for a training day, which as The Fast Show used to say, was 'Nice'. l've been working in Social Care for many years and know how underfunded and stretched it is, and as a result of this (and Brexit) about one third of the training participants were from Nigeria or some other foreign country, some of whom l have had the pleasure of working with. Exactly the people being demonised by the far right and their supporters, but 'send them back' and the whole system would collapse. I'm sad to say Labour are not coming across as appreciating them either, with the current long term visa plans being put forward for low paid workers. It's all one giant mess, and more money needs to be inputted.

Take me back to 1972 when T.Rex ruled the airwaves. I loved these guys.

southampton's spying
OK - l know Southampton were spying and they deserve to be punished in some way, but to claim you were trying to keep tactics secret when you are practicing them on an open playing ground is absurd. Also, most clubs can't afford lush indoor (and private) practice pitches, so what's going to stop any would be 'spies' giving phones to children to record sessions? This way madness lies.
From the BBC.
Here's Middlesbrough's training pitch.

houdini and my childhood intertwined
The top photograph is from a program about Houdini and was an example of extreme poverty in New York. The second one is me and our dog in our back yard in Bootle (although we didn't live in poverty).
ever wonder why punk happened?
Why Punk happened. This. Plus acts like Tina Charles and Brotherhood of Man having number 1 singles. The charts in 1976 were dross and we were desperate for something, we just didn't know what.

an iconic photograph of a divided america - justin pearson barred
This is going to be an iconic photograph for the ages (by Nicole Hester). Republican Senator Justin Pearson barred from a special senate session in Nashville regarding redistricting.
andy burnham's 'u-turn'
Although l am all for rejoining Europe, this is also true, so Burnham shouldn't be getting grief for 'U-Turning'.

flag shaggers
I agree with this. The government should have clamped down straight away with knobheads putting up flags along roads etc. Everyone knows the underlying meaning and it's completely different to having them on town halls or government buildings. Often funded by rich fuckers living abroad stirring up hatred and division and backing Reform.

the north will rise again
It's about time Labour started being socialist again, and stopped trying to appease Reform voters, but l don't think Starmer should be replaced straight away as that proves Reform to be right as they used the local elections as a 'get Starmer out' voting tactic, and fuck them.

This explains a lot. No wonder Melania is so frightened.

using fenbendazol for cancer treatment in humans
This treatment and the headlines sounds great, until you realise that Joe Tippens was the only person free of cancer after a trial involving 1,100 patients. I may well be proven wrong (not for the first time) but l'd imagine there was some other reason the cancer went away, something else not taken into consideration, or perhaps just being lucky and his body somehow rebelling against it as a freak occurrence. Who knows?
More on the research can be found at Anticancer research here.
Part of the Anticancer report.

the kremlin's far right network
An excellent but depressing map of the rise of the far right, with considerable backing from Russia. They have however, missed out Reform.
