I fail to understand why investigative journalism looking into potentially criminal behaviour by a politician could be considered to be licence fee abuse.

Are we invited to accept Kate Adie’s or John Simpson’s […]

Twisted fire-starter.

Utterly brilliant five syllable mantra that lifts the whole mad thing to an unforgettable level. Nano pop? Nah. Genius.

That’s fantastic – the guy was a busted lush with profoundly ghastly personal attributes who nonetheless managed to bleed the educational and political establishment of a huge amount of cash over many decades, and […]

In the spirit of austerity and the avoidance of waste, can I suggest that we dispense with the unecessary threads and just have one single rope?

I only have to read the words ‘Midnight Train’ to hear her voice in my head. What a splendid review; I really hope I get the chance to see her perform.

The Regrettes: a much better looking Arctic Monkeys with a better sense of humour and a lot more to say.

Ca plan pour moi.

I’d happily settle for Tone myself – I’ve seen him do a night club session, wearing what is probably the very same gold lame jacket – and he is indeed SENsashunal fun.

The Groundhog Day edition of the first Grand Tour series was unadulterated brilliance. I use that word advisedly. One of the best extended riffs I’ve ever seen done on a TV series, just outstanding. It was a […]

Christ all-mighty that’s just fucking brilliant. You lucky sod. One of my all time favourite bands, except during the Adrian Belew era. What a knob he is.

Always had respect for this lad; he was, as you say, the real deal as far as being a rock ‘n’ roll star is concerned. Sadly, though, he was also the real deal as far as being a rock ‘n’ roll casualty. I will look […]

Users, eh? FFS.

Wow, spiffing review, full of the joyous intensity you felt there in the rain. I’ve always enjoyed their music, but never seen them play live. Maybe I’ll get a chance to do so one day – it certainly sounds as if I […]

CPB(ML) eh? Fuckers. Where’s my beret and my sheepskin jerkin?

That’s a good read, and an impressive record (if all true as stated – I’m too knackered to follow it through right now!).

To be fair to myself, I think to a large extent I’m blinkered by my absolutely visceral […]

Hmmm, I’ll give it two more episodes before I make my mind up, but I do fear that it has quite likely run out of road.

I know, ghastly wasn’t it? In the end though, it was just his government’s leaflet, it wasn’t statute – the referendum remained a referendum, that’s all.

Brilliant. Your mum and mine would have got on well. What it amounts to is that what is important is not so much how much money you have; it’s how you got it, what you do with it, and whether it changes you for […]

As Nigel knows very well. The country is at breaking point.
