usa child mortality increasing

 I'd like to think that one day, if there's any justice in this world, these dipshits will be held to account. No vaccines my arse.

john lennon - today's the anniversary

A re-upped picture of myself showing a complete lack of taste on the anniversary of John Lennon's murder. In my defense, a lot of drink and drugs had been taken. I like to think it's the kind of irrelevance that he would have admired.

no wonder new york is changing

 I've been to New York many times, and it's a cliche to go on about how much it's changed and how moneyfied it's become, but here's the stark reality. This paint shop and the shop next door would have been part of the community and ran by working class people. The rent, 10 years ago, hit $20,000 a month, which no normal shops like these can afford. Hence the reason why they shut down, and are replaced by flagship stores or expensive housing, and Manhattan becomes a playground for the rich, while the workers commute in. London is lagging behind, and l've argued for a while that Liverpool will become the same. Good news if you own property on the outskirts of town as both will keep expanding.

dr feelgood at reading top rank

Christ on a bike, Dr Feelgood were fantastic back in the day. I saw them on this tour and even hitchhiked down to Reading Top Rank to see them there (from Oop North), but it's funny how your memory plays tricks as l thought l remembered hitching back on the Sunday afternoon, thinking it was a Saturday gig. I guess l must have taken the Monday off work and came back then, as l was staying at a mates house in Wallingford. Anyway, it was well worth it., although l do regret being generous and giving my t-shirt away a couple of years later to a mate who really loved it.

nigel farage - hitler was right and the bbc

Too right, and the old time comedy was out of order, but at least they were trying to be funny with different standards and levels of humour back in the day, but no-one was on TV saying 'Hitler was right' and 'Gas the Jews' while making hissing sounds, to the extent that (as was reported years ago) one of Nigel Farage's tutors wrote a report with concerns about his racism.

As Jonathan Gullis (a corrupt twat) defects to Reform (a party full of corrupt Russian loving twats), it's handy that past messages from Richard Tice are still available. It'll all end in tears.

t.rex - solid gold easy action

On this day many years ago I skived off school to go and buy this single and then went back to our empty house to play it constantly before my hoodwinked parents returned home. I didn't like it as much as their earlier stuff, but it's still an excellent 'bopper' as us cool kids used to say (and yes, obviously l still have it).
