'Doperider is a record of great and giving calm. The cover’s lettering suggests Hawkwind at their most planetary, but the record more often encourages an investigation of its immediate surroundings by way of some lysergically-tinged soundtracks'

@russincheshire.bsky.social bonkers decision to withdraw your invite, if only for you to help pad out numbers in the exhibition hall.
Been to Manchester central complex many times for conferences and rarely has the main hall been so light on outside exhibitors. Lots of padding with empty stands put up by central party

There are 4.24m people with Indefinite Leave to Remain (or equivalent).
82% are in work, compared with 74% of Britons
3.8m are in relationships with Britons
They have about 2.4m British-born children.
