How much tax did we all have to pay because he didn’t ? Though I am a Liverpool supporter I hope Man U can replace him with some one who can help return them to their rightful place in football.

In the next 10 years sea levels could rise by 5 + metres. Millions live below that level. Where will they go to? The fortunate people of Piddington who held a referendum to be independent should get their wish, provide their own energy and health services, resources and services. LIGHTS OUT FOLKS.

After The Great North Run Andy Burnham was criticised for only making a photo opportunity. He’s raised £30692 for the homeless thus far. Reform morons were happy with Starmer they are terrified of Andy as they should be and the RNLI are receiving huge donations Mr Farage. How marvellous!

Isaac Asimov wrote three laws for Robots in a science fiction novel in the 5o s. The first was “Preservation of human life takes top priority”. Recently an AI model attacked a model in another company with a self made virus. It was resolved when technicians told them they were equally valuable.

At last a UK govt that will oppose IDF brutality in Gaza regarding re settlement by Israeli nationals. The shadow Home Secretary dismisses sanctions as “ performative posturing”. So what do you call it when the Tories did nothing?

During his speech about the new law to prevent establishment cover ups after Hillsborough, the PM spoke about standing on the precipice of change. I hope it’s at the threshold Mr Burnham. When Starmer speaks it seems incredible that he was a Q.C. But he was. Standing on the precipice quite often.

At the EU parliament Nigel Farage stood up and declared no one here knows what it is to do a days work. The man sitting behind him with his head held on his hands was a brain surgeon and chair of the EU committee on modern day slavery.

In the last 4 years 8 women were killed by undocumented migrants, 267 were killed by a partner or ex partners. The biggest threat to women is not immigration but male violence. Reform does not care about women only paving the way for a fascist regime in the U.K.

Reform councils have closed Dementia services, youth clubs, and tried to close Care homes but residents as old as 90 fought back. Does reform think we are stupid enough to want Council Tax cuts at any price? The answer is yes.

Have just got back from a guided BFS trout fishing trip in Yorkshire. I am naturally unable to mention the locations. Our guide was Paul Gaskell a well known expert angler and conservationist. He is a very special character and it was a joy to fish with him. I learned so much.

I’ve just set up my new studio in Norwich. I moved there in December. I bought a Gretsch Snniversary semi acoustic in green. It arrived a couple of days ago. I’ve always wanted one. I’m just about to put my vintage Stratocasters up for auction. I shall probably get a really special classical.

Went to see Wuthering Heights because of Charlie XCX involvement. Disappointed. Some fine cinematography but dingy soundtrack. The gut shaking impact when someone places a salt cellar on a wooden table in IMAX format is very irritating. Sinners on the other hand is utterly fabulous. Massive treat.

David Ben Gurian said “If I were an Arab leader, I would never make terms with Israel. We have taken their country. While Jews believe God promised them the land, that belief holds no weight for Arabs. They only see that we have come here and stolen their country. Why should they accept that?"

Billie Eilish during her #GRAMMYs speech for Song of the Year: “As grateful as I feel, I don’t need to say anything except that, no one is illegal on stolen land. It’s really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, I feel hopeful in this room and we need to keep protesting… fuck ICE.”

Israel has opened the border to Gaza but is not allowing aid in to Gaza. This is a blatant attempt to further undermine the well being and health of survivors of the Israeli holocaust on the people of Gaza. Isn’t it time that Netanyahu was rendered to the care of the court in The Hague.

On new music check Charlie XCX new release featuring John Cale. Yes that John Cale. Preview tracks from Wuthering Heights. House and chains of love. Numbingly powerful. She is on the verge of total superstardom. A unique British performer. Charlie is way ahead of the pop establishment. Great songs.

After my last album BREAK THE DARK I’m working on new music. I don’t intend it to become the basis of songs. I want to explore sound design using field recordings and synth/sampled sound. I have treated myself to a hydrophone, binaural mics and a couple of Zoom digital recorders. I do love tech.

I’ve just spent a delightful afternoon BFS fishing around Aylesham lock. Not a single fish. I had a nice perch take a chomp on a tiny lure (3grams) but it let go. I’ve never known the fishing so lacking catches but it is called fishing not catching. Still I’ll be looking forward to next time.

IMO the woman ruled at Glastonbury this year. None more so than Charli XCX. I missed her earlier stuff but BRAT is pure magic. If you want to know how to program the best dance pop listen to these guys. The song - I might say something stupid is exquisite. My favourite album of the year. So there.😀

The BBC and Home Secretary conveniently ignoring *why* anti-genocide protesters were out on the streets the same day as the Manchester attack: Because Israel had just abducted hundreds of activists, including Britons, trying to break its illegal starvation-siege of Gaza.

After the Manchester attack a Jewish spokesman said that the time has come to label anti Zionists as Jew haters. Why do Zionists want us to respect them while they ignore the genocide in Palestine? How can Zionists demand safety for themselves while they have persecuted Palestinians for 70 years?
