I once saw a band called Bean (from Leeds) playing in a Sydney pub: three lads -- one on drums, one on guitar and one on the trombone and they did the H50 theme and the entire place went nuts. SO good. We all had to jump up and down together as we were packed in like sardines.

Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency.
She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.
