'illegal' migrants

 When are Labour going to wake up and stop pandering to the right? Just call them migrants (or unprocessed migrants) FFS, as 'illegals' just spreads the hateful rhetoric and fuels the Reform mob. Right leaning voters will bugger of to right wing parties, and this kind of language just pisses off and disenfranchises people on the left.

walk hard - the dwarf version

A mate was raving about this spoof music documentary that l'd never seen, so l ordered the DVD. I foolishly ordered a  format l couldn't play, so ordered a normal one. When discussing it before the normal one arrived, l mentioned the 'dwarf' on the cover (or whatever the correct terminology is these days), and was rightly mocked, as it most certainly isn't, but in my defence l still maintain it looks like it could be. It was worth the wait, as it's a pretty good spoof.

boys from the liverpool slums 1956 by thurston hopkins

Thurston Hopkins took this (and other) photographs for a feature about Liverpool slums in 1956 for The Picture Post that were not published at the time, as city politicians thought it would give a bad impression of the city. I think the lads look pretty smart considering how poor they probably were, and a short time before then, their forefathers would probably have been walking around barefooted. They could also be mates of my uncle Ray.

With thanxs to Colin Smith.

And here's some more from the same series.

 From today. The sort of front cover that you think must be fake, but isn't. What the actual fuck are The Times doing having this as their front cover? Also, l may burn all my Levis if they make me look like this.

trump's racist obama post - an update

So The White House are now saying 'a staffer' did it and Karoline Leavitt thinks we should move along and stop the 'fake' outrage as it does not matter to the American public, and it has been deleted. But without an apology. Does it not occur to them that they are admitting (if this was true) that staffers are impersonating the president on his official feed and sending inflammatory racist posts about ex presidents, and if they are doing so, how other posts have they made, presumably without clearance, and how many security breaches are being flouted with these actions? I call (as usual when Trump is involved) bullshit.

another low for trump - the racist obama post

 As everyone has suspected, Donald Trump is a racist as well as a kiddie shagger. You always foolishly think he can't go lower, but he does. This alone should get him impeached and once again, people and organisations need to stand up against this, unless they want to be known to be complicit in the overthrow of democracy in America by a nasty, vindictive, racist child rapist, and l include former Republican presidents, as this is more important than party politics. I hope Trump is also crapping himself more than usual after the Clintons said they are prepared to give testimony to Congress regarding The Epstein Files live on TV.

attila the stockbroker nails it

I'm sad to say this is how l'm feeling, but Attila expresses it much more succinctly than I'm able to. What a sorry state of affairs, especially after being voted in on a landslide for change. Mind you, l'd still vote Labour any day rather than Reform.

richmond - town of culture bid

I live on the outskirts of Richmond and still go there on a regular basis but like most of the locals, l am pretty blase about it, as you soon get used to the old buildings, cobbled marketplace, Georgian theatre, castle, river, waterfall, folly and nearby Abbey (amongst other things). However, viewing it through others eyes when you introduce them to it for the first time reminds you how special it is. Let's hope it wins.

the usa elections are at risk (from trump)

Fair USA elections are certainly at  risk, but from Trump, not The Democrats. If the elections do go ahead, and that is not a given, l fully expect to see ICE enforcement outside voting areas (where Democrats may win). This kiddie shagging felon will stop at nothing to maintain power and enrich himself, and if Kamala Harris had won the last election, he'd have called for an another insurrection as he would have said the votes were rigged (again).
