the ceuta migrants invading spain

I was shown the images of 'immigrants invading Spain' in the pub earlier this evening with the usual rhetoric of 'they are all badies heading here to sponge off our over generous benefits system'. I was mocked for saying l would investigate when l got home, but the slightest glance at the actual news revealed the 'invaders' were still in North Africa, just on a part of Spanish territory, and with probably no wish to travel any further. One thing we did agree about in the pub was that social media (especially Musk) is stirring up crap and trying to divide people with outright lies. The right wing fuckers in positions of power also do so, despite being aware of the facts, as immigration stokes fear and is a good way of scaring, annoying, and enticing voters to your variation of 'they are all rapists, murderers, scroungers, not of our culture, fighting age people to be frightened of' etc. Don't trust a lot of the billionaire owned press and check facts, although in reality, people will just see the headlines and right wing quotes, so the plan to stoke division works. Hence the rise of the far right across Europe. This time it's the dark skinned and Muslims being scapegoated, but it could just as easily be The Jews, The Polish, The Turks, The Irish, The unemployed or disabled, 'Communists', 'Antifa', or you and me. A sad replay of the 1930's, and we all know how that ended. Fuckers.

 

Here's a handy guide for the future 'invasions'.

the corner of the living room needs sorting out

I've got a few days off after tomorrow, and amongst other things, l really need to sort the corner of my living room out. Mind you, the other side is even worse, so l've got my work cut out.

coyote vs acme - fingers and toes crossed

The Road Runner cartoons were my favourites as a kid (along with Foghorn Leghorn) so l am looking forward to this film with fingers and toes crossed, as it will either be excellent or a disaster in my view, as there's no middle ground with things you love so much.

honky - join the party

Punk Rock was in full flow, The Stranglers were on the same episode of TOTP (Go Buddy Go), as was Bob Marley performing 'Exodus', but Honky decided to be a second rate Sly and the Family Stone. What a time to be alive.

boy george choses the wrong side of history

I think Boy George may come to regret this stance, but then again, if  he can't see the evidence at the moment, maybe there's little hope. Even if you may be able to call the start of the invasion and obliteration of Gaza a war at the beginning, it soon turned into a genocide, and the killings (including targeting children and aid workers) continue.

ann droid - it's very good

 This was much better than l expected, despite the son (and some of the minor characters) being an annoying distraction from the excellent acting by Sue Johnston and especially Diane Morgan. Recommended.

john cleese has well and truly lost it

What a fucking embarrassment John Cleese has turned out to be. Once upon a time a comedic genius with few rivals, now a sad caricature of the very people he used to mock. Railing against foreigners coming to the country while he lives in the Caribbean.

Bill Oddie RIP

Bill Oddie has died today aged 85. The Goodies series hasn't aged well, but at the time it was essential viewing. Also a talented singer, amongst other attributes.

out and about recently - kevin keegan, the lotts, the soledad brothers, and a stranglers tribute band at tan hill inn

 I lost my phone and a load of recent photographs, and have had a break from posting and the internet in general but  but here's a couple of outings in the last week. Obviously l don't yet know how to take decent pictures on my phone, but hey ho.

The Kevin Keegan tributes at St James' Park.

The Lotts and The Soledad Brothers at The Cluny, Newcastle (both excellent).

And the poster l nicked from it.

The Stranglers tribute at Tan Hill Inn (Britain's highest pub).

fingers crossed for the statement

 Here's hoping he'll bugger off into the long grass, but I'm willing to wager his statement will be full of false accusations and victimhood no matter what he whines on about. A corrupt racist and nasty grfiter.

across the universe - darlington hippodrome

I've just returned from a most splendid evening with work (a hard job but someone's got to do it) watching the 'Across the Universe' stage show, and l would certainly recommend it. All songs from 1966 - 1970 performed with brass and strings. There's no dressing up and no impersonations, but it certainly sounded like The Beatles, and sounds a lot better live than the video below. Pity they didn't do 'Tomorrow Never Knows' but that's a minor quible. Catch it if you can.
