It's Monday, l'm off work, so it's local pub day. 

What l'm hoping for...*

What l will no doubt encounter...

*The top two are Galton and Simpson, comedic geniuses who wrote Hancock's Half Hour and Steptoe and Son.

 One of my favourite photographs of Trump. Melania has never looked at him that way.

 Now this appeals to my sense of humour.  Well played to whoever did this (obviously l'm too busy / lazy to try and find out).

mini cartoon daily mail

If this was Daily Mail sized  it would be hard to tell the difference from the real thing. It's a few years old now but just as relevant and still available.  Buy it for only £9 from here. I ordered the extra postcards as well. Artists and voices like these should be supported, so get your money out!.

prices in new york sure have changed

This is a 1969 guide to prices from the New York Tourist Board.  I've been to New York on many an occasion, and let me tell you, the prices were unfortunately nothing like this, and are only increasing, which also prices out many of the 'interesting' people and places..

the ceuta migrants invading spain - an update

 An update that was more than expected if you happen to check the actual facts of the 'invasion', despite the front page headlines below from the usual lying shit stirrers.

the walk home from the pub has got a bit scarier

This is not my actual walk home, but it would only take the trees on either side of my walk to grow a bit more and this wouldn't be that far off. I blame God.

a history of brexit in 256 disasters - junty bloom and marty rowson

This is both interesting and informative, but as a reminder of the lies and the shitshow that was Brexit, plus the charlatans involved, it's also depressing, but the caricatures by Martin Rowson are outstanding. There's a lot more reporting, but l've highlighted some of the drawings.  Recommended.

the ceuta migrants invading spain

I was shown the images of 'immigrants invading Spain' in the pub earlier this evening with the usual rhetoric of 'they are all badies heading here to sponge off our over generous benefits system'. I was mocked for saying l would investigate when l got home, but the slightest glance at the actual news revealed the 'invaders' were still in North Africa, just on a part of Spanish territory, and with probably no wish to travel any further. One thing we did agree about in the pub was that social media (especially Musk) is stirring up crap and trying to divide people with outright lies. The right wing fuckers in positions of power also do so, despite being aware of the facts, as immigration stokes fear and is a good way of scaring, annoying, and enticing voters to your variation of 'they are all rapists, murderers, scroungers, not of our culture, fighting age people to be frightened of' etc. Don't trust a lot of the billionaire owned press and check facts, although in reality, people will just see the headlines and right wing quotes, so the plan to stoke division works. Hence the rise of the far right across Europe. This time it's the dark skinned and Muslims being scapegoated, but it could just as easily be The Jews, The Polish, The Turks, The Irish, The unemployed or disabled, 'Communists', 'Antifa', or you and me. A sad replay of the 1930's, and we all know how that ended. Fuckers.

 

Here's a handy guide for the future 'invasions'.

 I've just finished work for a few days and as luck would have it a mate phoned and wanted to meet in the local.

I've got a few days off after tomorrow, and amongst other things, l really need to sort the corner of my living room out. Mind you, the other side is even worse, so l've got my work cut out.
