Partygate - be angry. Be very angry.

 Seen 'Partygate'?

A dramatisation (backed up with evidence and witness statements from the Gray Report) of the events which took place at Downing Street during lockdown, featuring interviews with relatives of people who died alone; those who were fined (an average of £6k) for non-compliance; and healthcare professionals who sacrificed everything because they wanted to do the right thing.

All the while, Downing Street staff were blatantly flouting the rules which they had been instrumental in creating. Their punishment? Johnson and Sunak were fined £50 each.
 
Absolutely sickening.

We should be angry. The current chaotic administration, and all of its many previous iterations have taken the piss out of all of us for too long.

They continue to do so.

The current PM makes decisions based on how it will play with the electorate, and what serves him and his acolytes rather than what serves the country. 

A PM who won’t “speculate” on decisions that HE is making.

We have a Home Secretary introducing rules which would have prevented her parents from entering Britain; a person who took full advantage of the European Union’s Erasmus scholarship programme, yet voted to leave.

What we're hopefully seeing here is the last gasps of a moribund government; one which is demonstrably, objectively, and, by any measure, the worst this country has seen.

Their end can't come soon enough.

There, I've said it.

💯 would not recommend.

Hope that helps.

Are You A Bellend?

Some people are born bellends. Some have bellendness thrust upon them. Others achieve bellendness. Are YOU A Bellend? Take this quiz to find out. 1) Your Neighbour is washing their car. Do you: A) Bid them good morning, then go about your business, leaving them to go about theirs. B) Wonder why they’re going to the trouble of washing it themselves when those nice swarthy chaps down the road will do it for £4. C) Shout “You can do mine next!” then just stand there, grinning inanely, like a bellend. 2) It's lunchtime, and a colleague asks if you would like them to bring anything back from the shops. Do you: A) Give them a fiver, ask them to get you a meal deal and get themselves something with the change. B) Thank them, but decline as you’ve got some soup. C) Shout “A bunch of fivers from the till!” then stand there, grinning inanely, like a bellend. 3) A colleague asks if you’d like a beverage. Do you; A) Accept their offer. The usual: black coffee.

Don Amott: a king amongst men. And caravans. Part 1.

It’s Saturday lunchtime in 1981. I’m at my my nan’s. We’ve just been to Kingstanding Circle, where we bought crusty cobs from a cylindrical bin in the Co-Op. Tongs? No, put your hand in there, and grab them. I know you haven’t washed your hands. No-one has. After the Co-Op, we buy ham. Not the packaged, air-sealed, watery, artificial product that passes for ham now, that which, on opening, assaults the nose with a repellant, gaseous fart. No, the kind of ham only available to purchase in those days; pink, but not too pink, with a white, sometimes yellow rind. Thickly cut, bought from the butcher by your nan, and only by your nan.  Different times. Good ham.  Nan ham. In the wider world, a sense of shock is still being felt following the assassination of John Lennon. I’d heard the news on the radio as I was getting out of the family Mk 5 Cortina outside Doe Bank Primary School on a dreary December day.  A reevaluation of Lennon’s music is under way. Imagine is ...

The Popmaster Candidate

At the time, I didn't really comment on socials about the "Popmaster Candidate" episode (not the Ten To The Top Hanson*/Roy Wood debacle, which I still haven't fully processed), but now, some two years later, and following, as those who know me will affirm, a period of soul searching and spiritual growth, the time has come. The Popmaster Candidate episode, was, in my opinion, a trolling masterclass. Intended solely to get under my skin, to strike at the heart of something that I had attempted, and failed, to achieve for 15 plus years:  Appearing on Ken Bruce's original BBC format Popmaster. And, you know what? Credit where credit's due.  It worked. All objectives - resolutely TICKED. The planning, implementation, subject matter expertise, presenting style, deployment, and denoument were nothing short of exemplary.  At that moment, briefly, she became the person I wanted to be. That fateful day, listening to the episode live, having had no prior warning of what...
