Radio 4, when driving to, and from, gigs - some great stuff!

The BBC has been part of life in Britain for over 100 years.

It’s not just TV, it's national and local radio, it’s BBC news, it’s kids’ TV, sport, music, drama, comedy and documentaries.

What’s your favourite way you use the BBC?

I'm (very) unlikely to watch it, but I wouldn't be surprised if AI was all over it 😀
Is there proof that people and equipment were involved in the Melania film?
Felt totally AI generated to me: the people, places, music, imagery and especially the script.

The monarchy is outdated and undemocratic.

Every year, the public hands over £500 million to fund a billionaire king, while energy bills, rents and food prices all rise.

Enough is enough. It's time to #AbolishTheMonarchy

Mandy quitting Lords lets Starmer back-pedal on promised reform. He won't axe 92 hereditary peers, start 80 age limit or make Lords prove activity. So 6 peers are blocking Right to Die Bill with amendments. Is this OK?https://www.thenational.scot/politics/25826970.house-lords-evades-attempts-reform/

here's a new version of the video I posted yesterday. visually, it's exactly the same but it's a completely different approach to the music that accompanies it - which do you prefer? 😀

yes, please! there are currently 875 of them - way more than the elected MPs... a second chamber only needs around 100!
The House of Lords puts cronies, donors and disgraced politicians like Lord Mandelson in positions of immense power over our country for life.

Unelected and unaccountable. Abolish this relic.

the government should definitely change the law!!! #crime
BREAKING: Lord Mandelson is to step down from the House of Lords immediately.

But he will keep his title as a peerage is bestowed for life - unless government changes the law.

I fell across a wonderful book of black and white images which inspired me to put together this video - enjoy! 😀 #videos #photographs #monochrome #history #scenes #characters #soundtrack #music #blues #improvisation #inspiration #art

surely, if it's true, this is treason?
BREAKING: Met Police reviewing reports about Mandelson’s emails to Epstein to decide if to investigate.

“The Met has received a number of reports relating to alleged misconduct in a public office. The reports will all be reviewed to determine if they meet the criminal threshold for investigation.”

one of my favourite Bill Frisell albums - great artwork too! ❤️
#art #music #billfrisell #classicalbum #listening #nonesuch
It was 25 years ago today: Bill Frisell's 'Blues Dream' was released on Nonesuch. On the album, the guitarist and composer organizes a new septet of old friends, including Kenny Wollesen on drums and Greg Leisz on pedal steel. You can hear it at billfrisell.lnk.to/BluesDream

We need as many people as possible to agree with putting in place more ways to increase funding rather than making cuts and essentially punishing those who are already suffering. Tax the Rich – Wealth Tax Now www.oxfam.org.uk/get-involved...
