starmer completely missing the fact he got a bloody nose in the by-election precisely because he has pushed the labour messaging right

re-iterating the same negatives as reform on election is not a good look and unlikely to win back his previous core support

of a grey and steel future
fortified concrete
unpainted
our future
we will raise our hands
praising
the blessedness of our
new reality
as we scroll our screens
senses
colour washed

now I’ve accepted the
end of days
things are easier
I no longer look for
the red and orange
sunrise in the morning
breaking the back
of the hills
neither do I look for
the morning dew
glass diamond drops
hanging on a spiders web
in a bush
Necklace like
instead I embrace the realities

drones
were the professors of class
to be ignored
disdained
laughed at
but here we lie
in the snow
hidden behind
the skeleton trees
blackened
fearful of
their voices

I wish i had
Coordinated skills
that I could use a
typewriter
without stabbing at the keys
with two fingers
or strum a guitar
and play a tune
or kick a ball
in a goal
but the
discoordinated i
clunks
hands of clay
feet of lead
and we lump words
on pages
lacking
coordination

trump is
the aborted fart
from a tandoori curry

they should retitle news
the despair
and play
The mournful tones
Of
requiem mass
by Mozart
On loop

that will match the mood
I think

andrew and mandelson

I predict a plea bargain
in return for suspended sentence
and disgrace

mind you
they are ‘people’
so will probably get
a suspended sentence
anyhow

A note book and pen

to
my age

so quickly?

the bfi south bank website was spawned in hell to frustrate cinema goers. trying to find out what film is on a particular day? we will provide menus none of which refer a particular day or films. the devil knows what he is doing.

One of the things They don't tell you is that a lot of being creative involves wondering whether or not you're screaming into the void. And a lot more of it is realising that as long as you're screaming, that's the point. And a lot of the rest of it is working out if you're singing or screaming

do uk creatives and #ukwriters need a UBI considering the inpact on the creative industry of tax changes? don’t we own something to creatives after the lockdown days? or like essential workers all are forgotten?

I feel Andre is done and so now it’s just a duty of care issue if he goes down and doesn’t.
