Almost a musician, actually been a singer all my life, bit of a lefty, retired from my many day jobs and now have time to focus on my music. I like making videos to go with my music. Pro EU - hate Brexit. I wish everyone was caring and tolerant of everyone

I don’t plan of boring people with my stuff, but I’m proud of this so I thought I’d give it an airing on here. I wrote the song, me and my band recorded it, and I made the video. Enjoy 😊

The UK Government COBRA meeting will also be focusing on social media and will demand companies take responsibility for misinformation spread online.

U.S. Olympians are using their trip to the Olympics to get the basic preventative healthcare they can’t afford to get in the U.S.
We should be embarrassed that we’re the only industrialized country without universal healthcare — all because lobbyists pay off our politicians.

Turns out that millions of citizens don’t want to stop the boats but would prefer a safer route and processing scenario put into place. Turns out that asylum seekers are human beings and are escaping their current situation. Who would have thought?
