Not really, Bonham was a thug, Moon, for good or ill, touched every base.

He ( Lewis) is, like Trevor Phillips, at least making some effort, which is rather more than the performative posturing evident in many of the earlier posts on this thread from people who seem to have learnt […]

Another interesting contribution, this time from Labour MP, Clive Lewis. “Believe it or not, I had an old school friend on today’s marches in London. He sent me some photos from the crowd. We went to m […]

NB Personally, even if I felt sufficiently invested in the issues, there is no way I would attend anything organised by the wretched Yaxley-Lennon and his cronies. Then again, I wouldn’t attend a pro-Palestine […]

That’s what I thought. And I have to say, having seen them at Earls Court 20 years ago, they will probably be fantastic at the 02

Very fondly remembered in St Ives ( Cambridgeshire ) and Bedford.

Perhaps ypu have in mind the approach favoured by the various countries in the Gulf, where the migrant workers outnumber the the ‘native’ population.

I can only speak as I find. The new arrivals from Hong Kong are mostly economically inactive where I live. Or, like the people I work alongside in one of my jobs, work very few hours.. I wondered whether this was […]

One of my friends recently returned from Kyiv. Whilst she was there 30 plus people were killed in a Russian drone attack. I suspect she would be grateful for anything that might counter this threat.
