Crikey. For a country claiming it wants to be isolated, it seems to be awfully busy being overly involved with other nations. GTFO, USA!

Main riffs from 'Barbarian' by The Darkness

Some sweep arpeggios I made earlier

Those lines from Romeo and Juliet keeps entering my mind: 'Courage, man; The hurt cannot be much?'

'Ay, ay, a scratch, a scratch; marry, 'tis enough.'

Different context though.

I need to change my perspective on a few things.

Absolutely loving this Les Paul. I'd always steered clear of a lot of classic designs and instead favoured more modern and ergonomic axes. But wow. This thing RIPS! No wonder it's endured the decades. More uploads soon...

First solo from Kid Charlemagne using the LP. Spent a good hour adjusting amplifier and effects to suit the passive pick ups. My Schecter runs a lot hotter with active pick ups so everything needed dialling up a bit.

The picture simply suggests straightforward complicity if it's real. Democratic leaders may well be idealistically ideologically opposed to Trump but they're also the most vulnerable to corruption. They have lots of money. And money talks. Sadly.

Told you that the inaction is evidence of complicity with the regime.

Strangely, despite many of my guitar heroes being known for wielding Les Pauls, I never had the compulsion to buy one. I've always been into various non-Fender super Strats with my Schecter being my favourite. But wow, this Epiphone Standard Pro was definitely worth swapping the bass for. :)

It almost sounds to me like they're complicit. Inactivity is approval.

Kelly: When I was flying in combat over Iraq during the first Gulf War, I didn’t expect that there was a 10-year-old kid sitting in South Africa who would one day become the richest guy in the world and call me a traitor for doing my job. Now, he kind of acts like a 12-year-old kid

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

The irony of a successful human rights lawyer (Starmer) having to do business with a convicted felon.

That assault is both on the perpetrator AND Trump.

Fair. Yes you are correct. I should've been more accurate and stated we need to continue backing them. As a population, I know we do but the PM is in a precarious position with the 'special relationship' with the US and practical decisions with Europe.

Trump surrogate on BBC's Question Time absolutely floundering in front of a sceptical UK audience and being fact checked by the panel. Gives me some faith in our media at least...partially.

Yup. My home country of the UK needs to repair ties with Europe and absolutely back Ukraine. I've taught numerous Ukrainian refugees and all of them have completed their education...and gone back to fight for their home. Even when permanent asylum has been offered. Monumentally courageous.

Crikey. Even The Daily Mail's front page called out Trump on his lies about Ukraine today. Apparently even that rag has red lines. 😂

If my government in the UK ends up bowing down to Trump and further alienates itself from Europe, I might try moving to Canada.

Add the Daily Mail and The Times to that as well. The Daily Mail is a traitor rag in terms of its messaging.

1 for me and 1 for me and 1 for me and 1 for me and 1 for the rest of the population...split.

What an odious traitor to Western democracy. That moderately successful comedian has become probably the greatest world leader of our generation; whereas, failed businessman Trump is definitely the most embarrassing.

And...how exactly has that person defended freedom?

Hopefully everyone will get bored of Rogan's shtick. That level of base social discourse is fine coming from teenagers, but eventually you grow up; look back and realise how plain naive you were. Apparently, not Rogan...unless it's intentional of course.

As it happens though, the original sign was quite accurate, if not slightly prophetic.

I'm leaving Crewe this week forever. But this is my favourite sign as you leave the town and enter into Shavington. My former favourite sign was as you entered Crewe which read 'Welcome to sCrewed'. Unfortunately, it was taken down.

Can we do a Running Man MAGA participant special?
