Wouldn't be surprised to see him down here.

John Otway always announces he is performing both sides of his only 'hit' single first so those who 'need' to leave early hear it ... because that is the only reason they came along .... Personally? ... J.O. is fkn immense live ... I always stayed for the inevitable encore

I used to regard my right to vote as a privilege .... but now? As a former Labour party member, and latterly an SNP supporter, (and occasionally giving the Greens some 'love') there is NO party ... or even a candidate I have any faith in. Of course, I will vote ... but it'll be for what I take a bet on being the least stinkiest shit ... full in the awareness I may well be proven wrong! I despair! There is absolutely NO political party likely to be campaigning in my constituency which even significantly overlaps with my personal sociopolitical world view. Problem is (not me!) .... that all established, or semi established parties I previously felt worthy of attracting my vote have abandoned their foundational roots and have simply become different - yet similar - brands of populism. It may be advantageous to forward, or at least 'parrot' the general 'word on the street' mantra ... but .... whilst Politicians need to represent the 'people' ... they also need to have some personal integrity and vision which guides and focuses the 'word on the street' in such a way that such words have meaning and direction. I, for one, cannot remember anything inspiring and/or visionary worthy of my support being uttered/proposed for .... pffft ... fuck knows how long. But hey ... at least we have democracy, eh?

I've never seen someone outwith politics defend Keir Starmer in the wild, good for you. I think I could write a computer program more effective at being a human than the guy. I'd be curious to know what anyone thinks his reason in life is? How do you know he's a decent man? He doesn't seem that decent. Nor does he seem the opposite. I struggle to form an opinion on the guy. He's impressive in his nothingness. I wouldn't be surprised if I one day came across him in my recycling bin, having thrown him out three days earlier without noticing. He's just an empty bottle.

Few years back maybe but not now for Boyle. Not got same pace and refs seem to be on to his falling over.
