If Farage had declared he wasn't going to apply for a landlord licence from a "far left socialist" council, the Daily Mail would have championed his cause. No screaming about "breaking the law". They are protecting their own, the elites, the real money elites.

Nope. Circle of friends were just as weird as me, most were into prog rock and mind-altering substances. My electronics obsessed friend was impressed as this was the first performance where computers instantly transformed live sound from acoustic instruments. He spent ages talking to the tech guy.

Apparently, according to some supermarket ads, this is the "spooky season". Yes friends, it's a 'season' now.
I understand that next, we'll be in "isn't war nasty season".
