That was a good single and better than some of the others he released prior to the "Band on The Run" period. I didn't see the point of "Mary had a little lamb" at all.

Music is the most important thing but I'll discuss other matters too.

19.02.2026 11:11 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Well, the focus still doesn't appear to be on the human victims. The authorities seem to be more concerned about financial matters and "wheeling and dealing" .
19.02.2026 11:08 โ ๐ 32 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 6 ๐ 0What about all the misconduct outside "the office"? Why just focus on his financial and diplomatic inappropriateness?
19.02.2026 10:44 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0I'm one of these so called "privileged" older people but I believe University and other Higher education courses should be free for the student especially when necessary for specific occupations and careers. Grants should also be provided if needed too.

17.02.2026 10:49 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Sorry, I wasn't sure if you knew or not. The posted lyrics stated Glen Campbell. You get quite a lot of that with online lyrics and arrangements. Sadly, the original composers are not always gived credit.

16.02.2026 20:52 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0OK. "Social Media" is a very wide term. The bulk of it is fairly innocuous.

14.02.2026 22:15 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0It's not "right", of course. Nobody should be homeless or have to sleep in the street. However, such things aren't new as he he trying to claim. People have been "down on their luck" since time immemorial. Also, so called dodgy characters all my lifetime and before that too. That's the real tragedy.

06.02.2026 11:16 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0As I say, I'm not against the occasional treat myself but there has also been Gov legistlation relating to the promotion and sale of similar products. Just to clarify, that's all.

While it's true that both Tories and Labour have won on low percentages, it is safeish to assume that they were more likely to be "tolerated" by those in the "centre" who may have voted for another party. Reform are "beyond the pale" for most.
