A rather convincing bit of contrarianism…

We were robbed of our right to live, work, study, and love in 30 countries by the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history.

How humiliating to be only an "associate member"..! Surely he will demand the status at least of "special guest star".

Can't wait to see him barging the other members off the stage for the first group photo...

Jesse Colin Young, Singer Who Urged Us to ‘Get Together,’ Dies at 83 As the leader of the Youngbloods, he sang an enduring anthem of the peace-and-love era, with the chorus, “Come on people now, smile on your brother.”

remove anything you feel is unlike you..." - Michael Rosen

Exactly! It is an astonishment I experience with my daughters’ every new achievement, as I cast my mind back to the moment I first met each of them, the one now a mezzo-soprano, the other an artist and photographer.

Now that Musk has shouted out his suport for Adolf Hitlers heirs, the AFD, British universities, Institutions, govt departments and political parties should leave X.
