BELIEVE SURVIVORS‼️

What elevates a performance to exquisite art is that it can work on multiple levels. It entertains & has your foot tapping. But delve a little deeper it revels much more.

That's what makes Bad Bunny's set more than just a Super Bowl halftime performance. It's art in it's purest form.

NOTE: There are some fantastically dumb responses to this video, mainly:

“But Starmer wasn’t in the files!!”

Watch the damn video before saying something stupid, please.

There are Harrods trafficking victims in the UK - our equivalent of Epstein- and we need an inquiry.

That’s the point.

John Richard Simpson is a 59-year-old conveyancer whose parish website describes him as an experienced" and "dedicated" Anglican lay leader. He is the owner of Interior Architecture Landscape Limited, which made seven payments to_Nigel Farage's party last summer. The firm, which was originally owned via a trust in the British Virgin Islands, is so small it does not have to file professionally audited accounts. It did not display any contact details until recently and was almost wound up by HMRC after a tax dispute last year. Simpson, known locally as Bill, "does conveyancing, but is not a fully qualified solicitor", according to a Facebook post by a neighbour in the Hertfordshire town. There is no evidence he has any background in interior design. He has no known political affiliation or background in activism. He would not discuss the source of the funds donated to Reform last week. Simpson has long worked for Sasan and Yasmin Ghandehari, a married couple who a spokesman for the interior design company acknowledged were "clients" Last month, the Ghandehari family office sponsored Farage's pass to Davos and a hotel in the Swiss resort for the World Economic Forum's annual gathering. They claimed to have retained the Reform leader as "an honorary and unpaid adviser" in an arrangement first reported by the Financial Times.

I mean... this is REALLY not ok

It represents a spectacular failure of the UK’s vetting process that Peter Mandelson managed to be appointed as US ambassador.

This also might have been career-ending for the PM if Mandelson was still in office now. He is very lucky his chief of staff didn’t get his way when he fought to keep him.

It’s not ‘fantasy’: I know Nigel Farage abused people for their nationality – because I was one of them | Rickard Berg I remember him as a racist bully, and his allegation that other ex-Dulwich boys and I are liars tells me he hasn’t changed, says former Dulwich college pupil Rickard Berg

I was very lucky to find it. I have a habit of keeping an eye on things I'm after on Discogs, & there it was - £20. Only one other copy available in the UK - £40+. Couldn't not.

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

"We have looked at the US as an ally that upholds international order. If US behaviour is going to change, we have to understand that and react to it... We have to think about the sort of world that will lead to."

Hey Sally, hope you're having a great start to 2026.
I had a bit of luck on Discogs with the reissues & also found an affordable copy of '20th Century...'.🙌
