    So is it the Lefty Wokerati that tries to get Gary Lineker banned from the BBC for his Tweets defending asylum seekers, or Chris Packham banned from the BBC for his public campaigns against fox-hunting. That notorious Left-wing Woke publication the Daily Mail is always demanding that someone or...

    [Politics] Is Woke a significant factor in any upcoming General Election?

    I've certainly seen such posts on social media, and, tragically, they have not been parodies or satire. Amazing that some older people are convinced that a young person's struggle to save a deposit for a mortgage is because of their £10.99 pcm Netflix subscription, rather than their £1500+...

    [Politics] Is Woke a significant factor in any upcoming General Election?

    In the context of unaffordable housing/slum landlords, boardroom/corporate greed, poverty wages, reliance on food banks and top-up welfare benefits for the millions of low-paid (in the 5th or 6th richest country in the world, apparently), threadbare public services, insufficient numbers of...

    [Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

    I wish I could agree, but we can easily imagine the hysterical scare-mongering headlines in the Mail, Express, Sun and Torygraph of such a policy pledge: "Labour's plans to turn your kids into junkies", "Starmer plans to make Britain a nation of stoned potheads", "Woke Loony Left to legalize...

    [Finance] Snouts in the bloody trough..

    How come the huge pay rises and salaries of the mega-rich are never blamed for fuelling inflation, or pricing themselves out of work?

    [Music] Iconic Live Performances on video

    Their last three albums have contained some of their best songs; I don't think there's a duff track on Hippopotamus.

    [Other Sport] P-two-lace? P-tiace?

    Well, we've both seen your personalised reg plates, and it's not the worst crime I agree. But we both know full well, they really should spell, T-W-A-T O-N-E Half Man Half Biscuit, natch :)

    [Music] The Rise and Fall of Britpop on BBC Sounds

    Saw them in Cardiff on Thursday night - absolutely brilliant. They played with great energy and enthusiasm, and were clearly enjoying every minute. Oh, and the violinist/guitarist was staying at our hotel - after we'd checked-in, she got in the lift with us, and we saw her Pulp lanyard. When we...

    [Misc] How warm are you today?

    Seems that we’re paying the price (here in the UK) for a glorious flaming June. Much of July so far, and the forecast for the next couple of weeks, has been/is disappointingly autumnal: unsettled and often windy. No more heatwaves on the horizon.

    [Music] Greatest Pink Floyd track ?

    Sisters of Mercy also used to do a great cover version as an encore, really intense and heavy, and suitably ‘doomy’.
