trump for the nobel priza (not hitler)

Donald Trump desperate to win the Nobel Peace Prize and being put forward by his spineless spitlickles and gutless world leaders (and war criminals).  Hmmm....What does that remind me of? Also remember, If you're ever curious about the Trump camps playbook and strategies, look to the Nazi's.

more trump madness part 3656365

As stated many times, the man just talks crap. Remember when (if) there is another American election - politicians are not all the same, and if Kamala Harris had won, she wouldn't be starting a dictatorship with ICE as her henchmen.

one in - one back and brexit benefits

One in and one back with the small boats crossings is a start, and at least we are now working in conjunction with the French. However, l didn't see much coverage around what has been well known for anyone who is not blinkered by the so called benefits of Brexit, President Macron in his speech confirms the crossings increased after Brexit. The usual right wing rags were very silent on that statement.

U2 - London Wembley Stadium 12th June 1987 (The Joshua Tree Tour)

Flitting around the internet, l stumbled upon this. I'm not sure, but this may be one of my recordings from when l was a bootlegger back in the day. I sold all of my tapes to an American years ago but made some copies for myself of the better ones (or favourite concerts). I'll have to check if l saved this. However, my Birmingham recording on June 3rd from the same tour was the best of the lot, and sounded like a normal well recorded live album (in stereo). I even impressed myself with it.

Here's the advert for Wembley.

£7.4 million for a handbag yet people are starving

This - All day long. There's plenty of money knocking about, but the majority of it is in the hands of the few.  This is why we need a decent form of Socialism and empathy and equality for people worse off than ourselves. As for Capitalism, Austerity, Populism, Division through hatred, plus Trickle Down Economics, they can all fuck off.  I've no problem with some people making a bit more money if they want to work harder and put extra hours in, but we need plumbers and electricians (as well as lots of so called 'menial jobs') as much as (and if not more) than we need bankers and CEOs. As for shareholders taking the piss in privatised companies - don't get me started.

The colour will eventually match once the sun has it's way, but at long last (and £1,000 later) my fence has been repaired. Now the neighbours don't have to suffer the sight of me sunbathing in the garden. That is of course, unless they want to go upstairs and continue to marvel at the view (which l very much doubt).
