What If Bob Dylan sang Teenage Dream by Marc Bolan & T.Rex? AI

Love this. The Dylan version gives the lyrics extra gravitas. Think l prefer it to the original, which, at the time was the last T. Rex release l bought for a few years.

the times hammering labour while looking after the 'common people'

Pass me my tiniest violin (again). The Times (as usual) hammering Labour with an 88 year old worried about the mansion tax (which can be deferred until death) while living in a six bedroom house in Kensington, and a 20 year old complaining his £12,000 savings each year may not now be tax free. They're living in an alternate universe to the majority, many of whom are just struggling to get by. On a side note, £4,000 in 1970 is just over £33,000 today. Imagine trying to buy a six bedroom house in Knightsbridge for that amount nowadays. No wonder people are getting priced out of the housing market.

tonights entertainment - 9 below zero at the cluny

Despite the crappy weather Oop North, l'm getting picked up shortly for tonight's entertainment, 9 Below Zero at The Cluny in Newcastle. I like fast, energetic, blues based music and it's a night out, so fingers crossed it will be good. I certainly expect so, and double Jack's and Coke should help, but if not, l know who to blame (God).

where are the other brave reporters? (plus south park)

 Is it only the female reporters who have the balls to stand up to Trump, and take the flack for it from the orange sex pest, and where's the solidarity from the other spineless hacks. One day, they shall all be judged, although l'm prepared to judge them now. Cowards. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

However, South Park are still doing excellent work, and have really been getting stuck in to the presidency and administration recently, and they've become a TV highlight on Thursday nights. More please.

nearly 50 years ago! sex pistols anarchy was released

Where does the time go? I know it's not the first punk release, but what a record!! Punk music didn't last for long, but the change in people's attitudes did. It encouraged the likes of me to do business ventures l wouldn't have thought of attempting beforehand as 'l wasn't qualified' to do so. It's not an understatement to say it changed my life.

You've got to put the hours in but even so. I was looking forward to getting back to work for Wednesday for a rest and then remembered l'm off to Blackpool for an overnight work thingie the day after, then a gig at The Cluny in Newcastle on Friday. It's a good thing l'm indestructible.

alexa - show me a racist liar (called nigel farage)

Let's face it - Farage is a racist. Always has been, and always will be. Now imagine if Keir Starmer had this past (and present). He'd be nowhere near parliament, and this is not exactly recent news, it's been known about for years, but Farage has had a free pass by most of the press.

darlington - what has the eu ever done for us?

There's no mention in this story of the EU funds which Gliwice is still receiving since Brexit, or the many years of Tory austerity which ignored places such as Darlington for years. Poland makes a point of involving regional towns when planning long term projects and making investments in those areas, whereas in England it has mainly been centralised around London and the south. There's a handy interactive map that shows EU investment in your area, which highlights EU aid to farmers around Darlington, plus plenty more around the area as you scroll down. As usual (and for good reason), blame The Tories, Brexit (in which Darlington voted to leave), and the right wing press distorting the truth and pushing Brexit (and now Reform) in the first place to sway the votes. The full interactive map is here.

The right wing press tighten their grip, as The Mail's offshore owner Lord Rothermere buys The Telegraph. What a time to be alive. Of course l can't imagine any biased reporting and articles praising Farage, and knocking Labour, Liberals and The Greens, often with fake stories. Of course the rich are going to protect their (offshore) money and interests.
