The Oasis tour isn’t just about their music.
It’s about the height of Britain.
It’s about the nostalgia of remembering how amazing Britain was.
If you didn’t live it you’ll never understand it and it can’t be explained.
A time when you could go down the pub, interact with people you knew and didn’t know and have the best night of your life on 15 quid.
A time when there was always something happening, in every city, 7 nights a week.
No fear of being stabbed.
No fear of being robbed.
A time when everyone watched the same TV shows and discussed them the next day.
You weren’t desperate to go on holiday like the British are now, there was no need.
You didn’t see Dubai or Maldives on Instagram all day, you literally didn’t even know those places existed. You would hang around on a council estate, completely content and want nothing else than to laugh with your friends.
Random skin heads would say “you alrite mate?” And you’d either be best friends or in a scrap 2mins later.
Nobody got stabbed. Nobody died.
It’s just how it was.
The pub on Christmas Day.
The bus was 30p.
You loved everyone you met, didn’t matter the race.
The country was united.
There was a feeling in the air.
Constant electricity.
And it’s all gone now. It’s died.
All we have are the songs from those times.
In todays news. London drops out of the top 5 wealthiest cities in the world. London has lost over 30,000 millionaires in the last decade to places like Italy, Dubai & Monaco. What can we do to save London? Every black cab driver will tell you all the restaurants and bars are quiet at the moment. Here is a couple of ideas my end:-
1:- We need to support small businesses. They’re getting crippled by sky high rents, rates and high taxes. We need serious changes to make it easier for entrepreneurs and give existing businesses a fighting chance.
2:- A lot of people don’t feel safe in London right now. I have stalls in east London, I saw someone get stabbed to infont of me not long ago. We need to make the streets safe again. There has to be zero tolerance policing to make people safe to go out and walk about.
3:- We have got world class everything. Sports, museums, music, theatres and loads more. But it is so bloody expensive. At West Ham on Saturday I bought 4 burgers and 4 drinks at the stadium it came to best part of £80 and on Sunday I took my family to London I easily spent well over £300. It’s just not affordable. Let’s see if we can do something about this.
4:- Affordable Living. If people can’t afford to live here, they leave. We need to build more homes, fast and protect renters and key workers who keep this city ticking.
What do we all think? Bosh❤️
