@DiederickSanter Ha ha yes - vaguely remember the rocky bit

@DiederickSanter Vs 3
Ooo the wonder of quiz shows,
Ted Rodgers and his Dusty Bin,
(someone else) and their lusty grin,
They’re all beautiful, and they all remind me of you.

Think there was some kind of middle 8 too ?
Funny what pops into your head uninvited sometimes....

[Simon Stafford @SimonBCWC]

@DiederickSanter Trust all's well. Got an earworm in my head this morning, can you help me finish these lyrics?

Ooo the wonder of nature,
A pleasant summer breeze,
Some honey made by bees,
They’re all beautiful, and they all remind me of you.

Vs 2 – can’t remember

@GrahamMacca @therealmissjo Agree @GrahamMacca - but the Fuck You at the end was a bit harsh - I would have suggested some diversity training

Feb 2020, £1.791tn, 79.1% of GDP
May 2010, £1.03tn, 65% of GDP

Tories borrowed more than all Labour Gvts combined.
No new industries.
Public services destroyed.
Handed tax cuts to rich/corporations.

@MarinaPurkiss People like me, who are desperate to vote the tories out, will vote for him anyway - so in a way he's right to try and get more tory-lite types to vote for him / appease the billionaire press, whatever it is he's trying to do...so as long as he does nothing that repulses me...

[Simon Stafford @SimonBCWC]

@alankshort @MarinaPurkiss @NadineDorries Fair point, but I guess you've got to decide if you want people who owe the billionaires or people who owe the workers

If the passion and energy that some on the left invest in attacking other people on the left were directed instead at the Conservatives, they might never win another election.

Please everyone: less infighting, more perspective.

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

I know there's a lot going on. But I would really like you to read this. It discusses what I believe is Johnson and Cummings's real agenda, and how they will bypass democracy to make it happen.
Thanks.

@DrMattBrennan Hi Matt - I teach pop music performance at Liverpool university and I’ve been looking for a book like this for my students to have available in the library. I’m a drummer too and if possible I would love to read a copy - thanks

@AdamRBeauchamp @crispinhunt @RichardHawley Hi @AdamRBeauchamp - I don't go on Twitter much, but saw this thread and thought I'd post this somewhat smug self-satisfied pompous trite but quite funny article I wrote a number of years ago for your online enjoyment https://t.co/esYOyLOGMy

@dave_woodcock @Lachtoday Hi y'all - yup Streetcore was um bittersweet... well done super-fan @dave_woodcock - but don't forget my favourite Midnight Jam.

The choices before the American people are:
1. The same old shit
2. An entire vat of shit, in which you will drown
Vote 1. It's all there is

Suggest always put Islamic "scholar" in quotes, to avoid insulting true scholars. True scholars have read more than one book.
