(Sorry)

Loads and loads of good ideas out there that will get nowhere because the political system does what the lobbyists want

Brilliant tribute to John Peel (and thereby the Beeb):

Love Paul Burch

The accompanying video that was shown at Sumud (a Palestinian benefit gig) at Union Chapel a few weeks ago was gutwrenching, I cried all the way through it.

Can't find it online anywhere.

That is indeed. Gil Scott, saw him twice at the Jazz Cafe best gigs I ever went to.

You're right. We're only encouraging him

Ignorance is the root of racism, homophobia etc.

Matthew Tait! I'd forgotten all about him

Who by, DAC?

Wade was good, shame he didn't get more caps. Varndell had the potential but was shit for England

100%, complete bollocks

Cohen? Nah, he had a purple patch but he wasn't a great wing. Shit on the Lions tour

Feckin bastards indeed. No substance to anything

Ashton wasn't too bad, apart from the swallow dive

Underwood was the only back allowed to score in that England side wasn't he? Never saw Duckham play but agree the other two were great, since Robinson who have we had that's been as good as May?

At his best he was brilliant, which England winger was better?

Are they the ones that changed the colour of cheese and onion crisps? I'm still reeling from that, I may even have PTSD

That would be cool, but my MP is one of the 13

Sunak's party has accepted openly Islamophobic comments at every level of the party structure, so maybe he is?

Got so many records produced by him, sad loss.

Jam making is easy, chilli sauce too if you have a pasteuriser

We do love cheese but I need 36 hours a day already

Seems an awfully nice chap

Messing with wood. Very nice, me too. Kind of forced into it, when we were building our house our biggest client went bankrupt, couldn't afford to buy anything except Ikea crap so we started making stuff. We've now (me and the missus) done loads, in the middle of kitting out the girls flat; 2 beds,...

He definitely said shit that he shouldn’t have.

re AlJazeera, we all now the only truthful reporting is coming out of Israel so what’s the big deal?

I love the original, but this might just edge it:

I don’t think Istanbul counts as Western, agree I’ve never felt threatened there

Any city in China is safe but everybody is on cctv all the time

I don’t think the things you said were justifiable at all ymx

They kind of are in the UK and USA. People in the UK would be a lot healthier if they walked or cycled some of their short journeys. Yep, mental. When we lived in London the kids school was a 10 minute walk, we always walked them there, the woman round the corner 2 or 3 minutes nearer used to drop ...

Only had sheep a couple of years when we first moved here, hard work. Been veggie since 2020 so no farm animals.

Which major city in the western world doesn’t have stabbing and muggings?

Lived there for about 6 years in the early noughties. Still have to travel in occasionally for occasional meetings. Been stabbed there in fact. But a long time ago before it was really dangerous. Brixton. Urban kid nicking my phone. I’m 59, never been stabbed in London,. Had a few racist beatings t...

Susan Hall “this isn’t an episode of The Wire”

Finally, she’s said something that all of London can get behind.

I’m still gobsmacked that this was the best the tories could do.

He seems nice!

Didnt you say you live on a farm somewhere else? Yeah, I still work in London my daughters live in London, all of my socialising is in London. I was born there too if that makes any difference. Our current live construction project is in London, as I said in my intro post the mosque I’m involved wi...
