Aww, no. Another one gone. Best gig I ever went to was seeing Roy Ayers at Ronnie Scott's club in London thirty odd years ago. Roy was fantastic. And Ronnie, as the MC and raconteur on the night, was his usual hilarious self.

"The most striking aspect to Trump's crypto reserve and the scrapping of anti-money laundering rules, which together amount to a global charter for criminals, is that he's making no effort to dress them up. This pig has no lipstick." My column. on.ft.com/43kiBOu

Hmmm - people are living longer than expected?
Not so much in the US. Their profit-motive-based health system costs far more than anywhere else. And for what? A poor level of life expectancy given the wealth of the country.
I wonder where all that profit and wealth ends up? 🤔

On 15 March 1939 Hitler and his deputy summoned the Czech President to Hitler’s residence in Berlin and then bullied him to submitting to a German invasion of his country.
They drove him to the point of physical collapse, threatening him until he eventually signed his country’s death warrant.

Everyone needs respite from the madness for a couple of hours.
Do yourself a favour. Go see this. At a cinema. With good sound.
It put a great big smile on my face.
