Currently undergoing cancer treatment 🙄
Ah man, that's great! Both the move and the music writing. Send me some links please.

Yeah, pain in the arse. Can't get insurance to go abroad and can't work. Still napping each afternoon. A long road to full recovery.

Hey man. Not bad, thanks. Chemo-radio is finished. Just had my latest three-month scan and everything is looking good. Still can't travel or work. Still without part of my skull. They're looking at the end of the year to have that put in and then three months in bed afterward... how are you?

Unfortunately, that's just one in a long, exhaustive list of brain blocks. Other favourites include 'cold kitchen cupboard' (fridge) and 'peg banger' (hammer). Long, slow tarmaced route back...

The following year, he “talked out” a bill intended to stop the eviction of tenants who complained about their housing.

In 2011, he tried to block a debate on the Hillsborough disaster.

You get the idea.

Chope’s specialty is blocking bills. In 2013, he delayed a bill to posthumously pardon the Second World War code breaker Alan Turing.

For more info, it's Christchurch MP Christopher Chope, a man best known as the sole objector to the up-skirting bill, who is trying to scupper this one too.

The Occupy Movement, Brexit and the rise of Reform were all alarm bells of the public being concerned. Unless there’s significant change next time, I’d expect bigger, more aggressive signs of unhappiness.
