This.  All of this.

Abolish the monarchy (and never vote Tory)

the mail on sunday does free publicity

This is great free publicity for the upcoming documentary on government lies.  Can't wait to see it!

As an aside, Boris Johnson himself has admitted on record that he only had a mild case of Covid compared to the general population. Then again, when has The Mail on Sunday ever let the facts get in the way of their ridiculous headlines and stories?

Luckily for them, l also have great taste in music.

the uxbridge result

The people who didn't vote Labour, and chose to vote for fringe parties with no chance, l hope you are all happy the Conservatives are retained. Vote tactically, get rid of the bastard Tories, and then start backing your own agendas, otherwise we'll be subjected to more years of the most corrupt government l have ever known (and l'm an old git).

 Of course.  Now it all makes sense.

there's no magic money tree - oh...hold on..

Despite the fact we are told by the government there's no money to pay decent wages, feed schoolchildren, process asylum applications etc, apparently it can always be found to help the already super rich.

Never vote Tory (and abolish the monarchy)

the daily express doesn't understand inflation

FFS  Don't theses people have the very basis knowledge of how interest rates work?  Prices are still rising, just at a slower rate.  Knobheads.

It's a hard life, but someone's got to do it.  I was out all day yesterday, and I'm heading out again at 4pm for Birthday drinks with a mate. Luckily l am back at work tomorrow so my liver can have a rest.

At least l've got my outfit sorted.

scrapping inheritance tax

This will affect the wealthiest people in the land (less than 4%) and cost billions in lost taxes.  Funny how the money can always be found to help the already rich.

Never vote Tory.

rod little and shagging kids, with added boris johnson and dan wootton

Where's The Sun outrage over this kind of stuff (albeit old). The odious Rod Little, still a current ' journalist'.  Then again, so is the lying Boris Johnson and Dan Wootton.  Hopefully all soon to change.

stop buying the fucking sun

Not for the first time, the people of this country should take a lead from Liverpool and stop buying The Sun. They're stirring the cap with the BBC allegation and it's always been in Rupert Murdoch's agenda to destroy the BBC.  Stop buying The Sun instead and stop falling for him dictating the news agenda.

Instead of the guessing game currently taking place (Huw knows who it will be), unless something illegal has been done, shut the fuck up.  How about Boris Johnson not handing his WhatsApp messages over, despite being ordered to? Or George Osbourne and what he's been up to? Or closer to Murdoch, how about a Sun journalist and  current right wing presenter catfishing (the least of his worries) that will shortly be exposed? 

And don't ever forget or forgive this

my kind of church

I'm not a believer in any way, shape or form, and l'm heterosexual, but l respect and admire this message from The United Church. If more institutions in the world were so non judgemental, the world would be a much happier place.

kate andrews v dale vince - question time

This all day long. Kate Andrews is being broadcast way too often on these type of programmes and is being paid to sprout crap, often supporting the right wing think tank IEA. Also employed as Economics Editor at The Spectator, despite not having an Economics degree and knowing less about the subject than l do. And l'm pretty damn stupid.

Robert Jenrick has cartoon murals at a childrens asylum centre painted over because they are 'too welcoming'.   A gentle reminder - these are children, in a foreign country, probably scared shitless, that Jenrick is punishing. What a fucking rotter.

mathew street, liverpool 1977

Mathew Street, Liverpool in 1977, in the days before everything became commercialised, and people, even in Liverpool, were that bothered about The Beatles, as new music was deemed more exciting (Eric's was thriving), and older music meant bands like Love or The Velvet Underground.


 Toodle pip

concerts these days

Obviously l am more of a curmudgeonly old git than l used to be, but images like these re-enforce the reason l prefer going to smaller gigs where the band are a lot closer, and the music is in your face. 

And what's going on with the phone on the left?  Now pass me my large slippers, it's time for a nap.

In what world do people hate the NHS? Apart from the corporate money grabbing privatisation fuckers in the Tory party who would happily put profiteering over lives any day of the week.

Never vote Tory.
