I saw Shane MacGowan in the 90's at Manchester Academy when he was touring with The Popes. I grabbed my mates camera and my student press card and hopped onto the stage, he flashed me his inimitable smile with fag and champagne coupe in hand. I'll certainly miss knowing he's still around, RIP.

Did a thing on Corbyn and, to a much lesser extent, Starmer.

"I said “You either think this country needs to change, or you don’t. And if you do, you should stand with me and every person in this hall, you should stand with the Conservatives.” What did I say, Roy?"

"You said “I've got some fucking brass neck after thirteen years of this shit.”"

I blame Thatcher for the whole sorry mess, without her we wouldn't have had new Labour, the absolute drift to the right resulting in true blue new new Keir Harmer.

sad isn't it? Labour are trying to out-Tory the Tories. We no longer have a progressive party.
