And heading back from 'home' to where I live. Glorious evening. Slight apologies to @barry.mogwai.scot for startling him before breakfast this morning πŸ˜† I was probably a bit too enthusiastic.... but thank you for everything. It means a lot.

So, what didn't give it away immediately? Was it their skin colour? Little tabards with 'charity' on them? Someone shouting "stroke, 2, 3, 4" ......

Even though you know it goes quiet then LOUD it still makes me smile every time. There's little nods and gestures between the guys onstage which coordinate that moment perfectly πŸ‘Œ

I did catch a small MAGA related clip somewhere, where a Trump supporter was asked if Jesus turned up in the US now, what should happen and her answer was along the lines of "check if he's an illegal"......

Strangely, I'm not taking sides..... just pointing out that 'christianity' ... whatever that entails ..... is probably an immigrant religion too. St. Augustine, wasn't it? Just the same as we are all descended from immigrants.

Isn't Christianity from the middle east anyway?

Well ...... I'm still a lightweight compared to some of our little crew @brainsweeties.bsky.social 🫒
These last two London visits, Brixton and CP today, have been very poignant because of our losses this year. I'm the last surviving member of our family from this part of town πŸ˜ͺ

Off to see "the Scottish Band" for the seventh, possibly the final time this year.... fittingly just a 15 minute walk from where I lived for the first years of life. #SouthLondon @mogwai.scot

The National Institute of Economic and Social Research has warned that Rachel Reeves will have to raise taxes in the Autumn Budget.

The Chancellor has a choice - continue to penalise people on the lowest incomes or tax the super-rich fairly.

We know what we would do πŸ€‘

Still have a picture in my head of a guy with his teenaged kids at a Hop Farm fest one year who complained loudly "he doesn't have to talk like that!" when a certain Mr Osterberg proclaimed "We're the fuckin Stooges and this is called Cock In My pocket!"
