ben habib gets shafted and talks with the doctors

First of all there's hope in the Junior Doctors pay dispute - who would have guessed that actually meeting with them would help with bringing the dispute to an end? It's so good to finally have a grown up sensible government.



On the other hand, Reforms Ben Habib is upset at being removed from his Deputy Leader post. Who could possibly have guessed that the two white right wing owners of the private company that Reform is would have shafted the immigrant? Pass my tiny violin.

the england v netherlands penalty dispute

Me in the pub arguing it was never a penalty#. The Netherlands have a good reason to be fuming  about it, but it's about time England got a lucky break decision wise.

# Also me in the pub trying to persuade people to vote Labour.

england fans on the rampage before the netherlands game

 Another tight game and another last minute goal, but at least England played better, especially in the first half. Then again, l don't think we should have had the penalty, and listening to the commentary none of them expected it either - very soft. We're relying on last minute goals and penalties so far, and really riding our luck, and l certainly don't think Gareth Southgate deserves loads of praise for the performances so far, as it could easily have gone pear shaped. Let's see what the final on Sunday delivers, but l don't hold out much hope. Mind you, l have occasionally been proved wrong in the past, so fingers crossed.

Meanwhile, here's England's top boys looking for trouble before the game.  What a tasty looking firm.

I realise l am a madman who does not need this boxset, but of course l have already ordered it and can't wait for it to be released so l can dive into it's contents. I love these reasonably priced boxsets Bob Dylan has been releasing, and will be happy to buy more in the future. Mind you, I think l need professional help.

the french vote with their brains

Another excellent (unexpected) result to defeat the fascists (for the time being). France - you done good, although there will be many disagreements ahead.

America - your turn next.

the daily mail change their tune on migration

So all of a sudden The Daily Mail are in favour of economic migration? I guess they still won't be regarding people who want to come here. A hateful right winged rag. Don't buy it.

ben habib - irony is dead

Moved here when he was 14, a privately educated millionaire banker, who fails to realise a lot of people will vote Reform to stop people like him emigrating here, and would certainly refer to him in racist terms. Willing to sell out his relatives, countrymen and friends for more money and power. Knobhead.

dickheads in the pub

If you're going out in the immediate future to watch the football or enjoy a pleasant pint with some mates or your other half, beware of these dickheads.  The worlds most boring, loud, overconfident, thick and racist pub quiz team in the land.  They'll probably try and borrow some money off you which you'll never see again, and they will be pissed after two pints.  Probably shit at pool as well. Avoid at all costs. Millionaire fucking grifters exploiting the poor, uneducated, and easily led.

it's only day one and labour are already more grown up

The first day of Labour being in charge, and already they've made some grown up appointments, especially James Timpson, as he's one of the countries good guys.  What a pleasant change, however l do hope the Angela Raynor Housing one was also a sly dig for all the hassle she received from the Tories about selling her house, and l hope it winds them up even more. Even the weather is improving!

A Labour Landslide!! Get in!! Excellent result!!

Despite being at work, l stayed up all night to enjoy and revel in the carnage for the Tory party, and it was well worth it. It's about time these money grabbing, immoral , lying and grifting bunch of chancers fucked off, and l won't be sad to see the back of any of them. It's going to be hard for Labour, but at long last we have some sensible people in charge, who actually do want to help those less fortunate than themselves, instead of just constantly being on the lookout for ways to make a fast buck, and if they're labelled as boring, l don't care. I'd rather have boring than a clown like Johnson, a fuckwit like Truss, or any of the right wing knobheads that will now insist moving further to the right is the way to go.  Fuck them all (and Farage).

Bloody hell - Despite my brother living close to Leeds United's ground in Beeston, l didn't know he was into football. Still got great dress sense though.

mix up with my rolling stones record packaging

I've just purchased a Rolling Stones bootleg album (The Olympic Years 66-68 if you must know) but upon opening it l discovered the record on the outside, Sellotaped directly onto the surface, and obviously scratched, when it was meant to be excellent condition. I took photos of it and complained, but was then informed l should look closer, which l did. I then noticed the outside record was by Nana Mouskouri, was just attached for extra protection, and sure enough, the inner Rolling Stones album was fine. Dooh!!!!!!!  I hate making mistakes, so this really bugged me.

I blame the Tories.

count binface in the area

 Count Binface is canvassing in my area of Richmond, and although it is a joke, what he states about the Tories is true. If you're not planning on voting Labour around these parts, vote for him (or The Green Party). Anyone but The Tories or Reform FFS.

I'm all for this front page in today's Sunday Mirror. Obviously they are a Labour supporting paper (unlike all the other main ones), but l like the cut of their jib.

Never vote Tory.

wasted conservative and reform election leaflets

These have just arrived through my letter box for Thursday's election. However, l think their leafleting in this case is highly optimistic, as l will 100% be voting for Labour.

Other options are available, but never vote Tory (or Reform).

where's the good weather gone?

This was my view last Tuesday while lying in my garden, reading and absorbing some rays. It already seems like a lifetime ago as the sun appears to have legged it for the foreseeable future.

I blame God (and The Tories).
