a schoolboy error
If you are going to murder your husband, and want to get away with it, don't write a book about it beforehand with that title!!!

eggs for margaret thatcher
Someone selling eggs to be thrown at the statue of Margaret Thatcher in Grantham.
It's what she would have wanted. An entrepreneurial money grabbing individual charging lots of money for a cheap product, to exploit the public with the right beliefs.

I know David Bowie was a one of a kind, but what a mad way to hold a drink.

back to the future's tom wilson's postcard
Tom Wilson who played 'Biff' in the Back to the Future series of films, used to give this postcard out to people who stopped him, saving a lot of time (I'd imagine). Despite not being a massive fan of the films, l'd still like one of these (to go with the rest of my crap).

t.rex - remember the first time
I've recently bought and been enjoying the Marc Bolan and T.Rex box sets (The new 1972 one, and the Electric Boogie 1971 collection) and it reminded me of the cartoon below, as that was certainly me when l was a kid, playing Electric Warrior constantly when l first got it. Bliss.

no money
Look at this picture and remember it when the Tories try to tell us poor deluded saps that there is not enough money to help the poor or those in need, while writing off billions of PPE fraud. Meanwhile, a Tory Lords home has just been raided and she is under investigation for more (Moore?) PPE fraud, not that it is being featured in the news.
Also, included in the Queens speech is the fact the Tories are trying to continue destroying our rights, as their bid to become a one party fascist state marches on
Makes you proud to be English (not).

the wrong way
This is where l have been going wrong according to this advice from the 1920's. Then again, l've always been on the left side of things.

David Davis and Krishnan Guru-Murthy
This is the sort of questioning that makes Nadine Dorries want to destroy Channel 4
the daily mail and nadine norries' new lows and incompitence
A picture and statement put out by Nadine Dorries trying to implement Sir Keir Starmer in a party (plus food) scandal to deflect from the Tories many lockdown party's rule breaking. How you ask? By using an old photograph from 2019. She is meant to be on top of media and disinformation as part of her job remit, and once again shows she is not interested in the truth or what is right, just what will try to score points and curry (see what l did there) favour with her superiors in a desperate attempt to keep her job. As for the non dom Viscount Rothemere's Daily Mail, they are beyond a joke or parody, as they are so obviously a right wing propogandist rag supporting the government without any concept of printing the truth.. The sad thing is, the delightful Nutty Norries also wants to destroy Chanel 4, despite a poll the government wanted showing 96 percent of responders wanted it leaving as it was. Obviously noting to do with the Tories being given a hard time by its presenters when they are caught out lying on multiple occasions.
Fair play to the Tory MP John Nicolson for having the guts to call it out.

christmas trees - william logan (plus two of mine)
I'm still a sucker for well written poetry, as l foolishly think it may help to improve my own well intentioned efforts, so here's an example of one l discovered and enjoyed recently.
And here's a couple of my recent (ish) efforts

13 years of labour
A rundown of what the Labour government achieved in 13 years between 1997 and 2010. The Conservatives have been in power for 12 years since then, and have done what? Got Brexit done? Hardly a rip roaring success. As for Iraq, it certainly looks like a mistake, and all governments can make them, and can be economical with the truth (playing down blatant lying here) to achieve their aims, but the current mob of self serving charlatans are taking things to a level never seen before, while also chipping away at democracy. Bastards!!
