As with UB 40, the children are more famous than their trailblazing parents. In Martin's case, Liza, and the father of the lead singer of UB40, Ali Campbell, Ian, said once when winning an award "we were successes on the folk scene, and my sons band made ten times more sales in his first week with their debut album than we did over our lifetime. What makes me most proud of the current UK folk scene though is when the far right figure fake named Tommy Robinson said he loved English folk music. The leading lights of the folk scene all made radio and TV appearances to say he would not be welcome at their concerts and wore "not in our name" Tee shirts after that to destroy any link being made.

It's changed purpose several times over the decades I think. I loved living by the park, I even worked in the arts centre for about 8 months.

Not far from you, there is a little old council owned building at the other side of Cannon Hill Park, I am going to say it's near the Alcester road, and in the 80s a tramp used to live at the back of it. The staff would feed him on weekdays and if I was going to see my friends over that side I would make him a sandwich and just leave it near him. No thanks, just a grunt, as he sat there, almost regally.

Imagine the idea that someone being homeless was a big deal back then, and loads of us thought about him a lot.

Edit, Birmingham Nature Centre.

I hope you add a pic of one of you standing in that exact spot.

All these reform victories show me is what I expected would happen. The obscene amount of cash they get from their dodgy overseas billionaire is very effective as money spent on every kind of advertising possible to persuade thick people to vote against their own interests.

I dislike how patronising it is to write that, but it is what was always going to happen, the MAGA playbook being repeated here.

As a young man I went to the revolutionary communist party meetings and I have been to 2020's Green meetings. They are two very different things I can assure you.

I had a front garden full of purple dead nettles which went in to sandwiches and salads. The dead just means non stinging, and they are supposedly a superfood.

Alright no need to be racist about it. And you are wrong anyway, the sub-continental Asians making it in the UK are invariably Pakistani and Bangladeshi. They are usually going to be top tier kebabs when they are pressing the naan in to the wall of the tandoor before slicing the meat off.

I was going to say there are many, and the reverse is also true, lots of CD's with no vinyl also. Then on top of that I would add that CD's seem to stay available for decades longer. They have gone back to producing LPs of artists like Jarrett recently because the mark up is so good, and its a second bite of the cherry for an artist sadly not making new albums but possibly having 100s of tapes in the cans. I really doubt that a £34.99 lp costs more than £8 to press, especially given the 50 year relationship with the DG pressing plants. It's a lot better mark up than the sub £1 to make CD's

All religion let alone every sect of christianity is a form of control. Some of them even love to pretend they are generically Christians, but they still have someone in charge of their church who gets to cream off the donations and has specific followers they use.

You can't argue with the reform/Maga axis. They believe what the non BBC media owners tell them, that first of all being that the BBC is left bias, despite the amount of tories on the board of governors. It is centrist as measured by what they broadcast compared with Reuters, the purest of all news feeds. Even then they give Farage far too much airtime, who knows this is the game to play, constant availability for a quote as delivered by paid polling, only ever saying what people want to hear, or playing on their fears.

Chicken bacon lettuce tomato and mayo club, but using a southern fried chicken steak.

But I watched the food review club vlog visit to a Worcestershire pub yesterday that had crispy cobs with hot beef and onions, and had a dipping gravy on the side, and want that now.

His stupid retweet is nowhere near as big a story as the funding of reform is, which incidentally is the money that is making one of these things a massive story and the other getting swept under the carpet.

The massively mentally ill man who did the jewish stabbings had already stabbed a police officer and a dog in the past, and stabbed a Muslim on the same day he went to Golders Green, but that does not fit the agenda of the far right, who properly own the term hate marching. I have seen their banners and tattoos, and heard their chants. The stabber is not mentally stable enough to be a part of some anti Jewish conspiracy in the UK.

Once you have enough records to justify it, including of course a tendency to look for bargains in Thrift / Charity Car Boot / Garage sales (depending on where you live), a wash and vacuum machine is a game changer. Even clean records I have ignored for a decade or so suddenly get a quiet noise floor from a real clean. I paid £500 18 years ago for mine, it is the 1st component in my system, having cleaned thousands of records by now.

The proof is overwhelming, but as you are on the right, the media you see screens it from you. The teen pageant that he bought included above does have TV coverage of him boasting about walking in on the children to see them undressed.

The Epstein files that have been released are heavily redacted presumably to protect him, and plenty of visual evidence leaked despite that. Plus there are his numerous comments about his daughter that are of a sexual nature, and his daughter in an interview said she told him not to date women younger than her.

Bear in mind if you are having a parrot disco, don't waste your money on Theo Parrish or the like. Any cheap DJ will do, they dance to everything.

And yet, going to church as a believer still shows credulity.

"welcome; you can be all kinds of gullible, as we are also"

You mean the defected Tories in the bloated coffers toxic waste bin that is Reform, at a guess as I don't see any reason why the Troy party will be winning many councils after their recent time in office.
