Booze, news and views from a drunken opinionated fool who can't spell very well, may well repeat himself, and can't blame it on dislexia

the ulez bomber
I imagine if the bomber had been dark skinned and Muslim, the backstory and write up would be completely different, and publicised a lot more.
From The Guardian - here.

arresting journalists and ex presidents - plus the epstein files
So the small handed orange kiddie shagger has already reached the 'arrest the journalists' stage, after recently stating that people filming raids on camera should be classed as 'Domestic Terrorists'. He's now also saying Barrack Obama should be arrested as he follows the fascist authoritarianism playbook. I don't suppose this could be a distraction from the just released segments of The Epstein files by any chance (and if l was Iran l'd expect an imminent attack). Make your own mind up by reading some Epstein snippets below. WARNING - It's harrowing and horrific.

the inaugural board for peace meeting cartoon
This just about sums up how ludicrous it all is. No-one with a decent bone in their body should be involved.

kate osborne on andy burnham
This. All day long. Labour have already made so many decisions this term that have alienated long term supporters, and excluding Burnham would mean departure from Labour for many voters, including (possibly) myself. And l don't say that lightly. Obviously there will be worries Burnham will come in and split the party as many would see him as a future leader of the party, but they're shooting themselves in the foot if they don'r accept him and face up to reality and ratings.

You what????? Try saying this out loud after a few pints. It could be a Fall song, and it's also impressive.

a cartoon worth repeating - ice detaining children
It might already be too late, but America needs to act FFS. It's certainly going to be much more difficult very soon (if at all).

jack smith testifiers
This should be getting a lot more attention on the news, but of course Trump just keeps other stories coming that overshadow things like this (and The Epstein Files), and Trump has crossed so many lines mow it won't make any difference. What a time to be alive.
Scouse Git puts it better than me.

At long last!! Some good news for a change. I'm off work now for five days so need to get eating if l want to emulate the fine chap in the photograph. A health challenge l may be able to pull off.

so the old folk are to blame?
Britain's latest voting intentions. It looks like the old folk (and l include myself) will have a lot to answer for. I know your more likely to be a socialist when you're younger and get more conservative as you age and acquire more money (plus homes and children), but this is ridiculous. As l'm indestructible, l'll have to suffer the effects of this, and most of the older gits voting for Reform would have died off shortly afterwards. Bastards!!!

more nigel farage twatiness
Imagine the fuss if this was a Labour MP. Angela Raynor for example. Farage is a twat and the right wing press enable him because they and their rich friends would benefit if Reform gained power.

nothing's changed since 1973
This is from 1973, but could have been produced yesterday and still be as relevant (sadly).

the next tidying up job - books
Now that my records (not the cds though) are finally about sorted, it's time for the books to suffer the same fate, starting with this bookcase, which is two deep with them. It's still a better option than trying to sort out my cds in the spare room, which is (as the saying goes) still being kicked into the long grass.

sounds charts - october 1977
From Sounds music paper 15th October 1977. Punk had well and truly arrived and Elvis Presley (and Marc Bolan) had recently died. The alternative chart looks pretty good, there's still a lot of dross in the normal charts, and the playlists have some 'interesting' choices.

More good news! Just imagine how many lived this may save. Also it will come in very handy when Trump starts World War 3.

the reform / conservative crossover
It's not just 67% at the moment, it's some of the worst Conservative MPs from their previous corrupt and self serving tenure, and that really is scraping a barrel of crap.

Truth - Hank Green
donald trump gets his peace prize
Just when you start to think world events can't go any lower. 'For the work l have done' FFS. The thing is, this will achieve nothing. Trump is obviously happy now, but when his whims change, all the previous grovelling and gifts will mean nothing, and he'll just do whatever benefits him.
