Thank you Refitmman. Well done. From one who has some idea of how difficult these things can be.

Hello everyone.

This was recorded in their homes, while they were physically separate.

Never a fan and don't know their stuff but this cheered me up (two of them in their Jimjams):

I knew Hindle personally too. I was not as close to him as SkysGoneOut, I don't think. I'm still cathcing myself thinking "it can't be". Sky's description of him is spot on. He was a one off but essentially a kind loving soul. I will miss him. My condolences to everyone here and to his fam...

Morning. Apologies for posting videos and making no political comment at all. Bad form. Recently I've seen (not always watched) quite a few of these from various well known artists.

Good evening everyone. This is Paul Mason on what was happening at "the top" of Labour and its relevance to the election result. Also on what next. Some really indefensible "tactics" if he's right. Unfortunately I am inclined to believe him. https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/...

Clive Lewis. His take on it all, and his opening shot at the leadership.

Hello everyone. For those worried about the thieving Corbyn/Mcdonnel tax plans (no-one here I suspect).

One way in which the manifesto is a triumph for Corbyn is that it has closed off the ability for Labour to go back. So, there won't be any convincing people that Labour isn't the party of tax and spend for a generation. You couldn't use Labour as a vehicle for a New Labour agenda any longer: it wou...
