One million people have already signed a petition against ID cards. If we’re serious about rebuilding trust, this is the last place to start. It's like deciding to become a pacifist and then walking into your roughest local pub and knocking everyone's pints out of their hands.

Interesting.

“The ECHR isn’t Brussels meddling. It’s the foundation that protects you from your own government.” 👏👏👏

'Release the Epstein files please'

Has anyone done the 'Shitcard, amiright?' "joke" yet??

RIP Danny Thompson.

You have literally only HEARD of Nigel Farage because of the corrupt UK media deciding to incessantly platform him. He has achieved nothing in his life, besides this bizarre and inexplicable destruction of so many once-respectable news services.

Nightly bye my chums, pals, buddies, gang, fellow prog fans, badgers, maties, friends, sock puppets(waves at Eoghan), haters & anyone who follows me out of morbid curiosity... (don't follow me - I've no idea where I'm going!!!)

I refuse to go on holiday to Center Parcs because they can't spell either Centre or Parks correctly- if they can't get the basics right, then how else are they going to fuck up??

There's noisy people outside - I very much doubt they are celebrating the 70th anniversary of ITVs launch night.

Todays listening- the first official CD release of The Orchestral Hergest Ridge - arranged by Lord David of Bedford & guitar by Steve Hillage - what an absolutely astonishing piece. My favourite Oldfield album - very much channelling its inner Vaughan Williams here.

Hundreds of Windrush children will face deportation. Thousands of Jews whose parents sought refuge from the Nazis will face deportation. This is pure evil fascism.

Anyone shocked that Reform plan to deport immigrants with Indefinite Leave to Remain hasn’t been paying attention. Next it will be stripping citizenship from dual citizens, then deporting them. Who do you think Reform are? This. This is who they are.

Afternoon.

No immigrant has ever sacked me, or cut my wages, or offshored my job, or closed my hospital, or stopped my mum's disability benefits, or crashed the economy. Those things were all done by white English men who went to Oxford and wore a nice suit.

People should be restricted to one online opinion a day. That would increase the quality and thought going into each opinion, and reduce the numbers of mindless knee jerk reaction takes spoiling the internet.

LONELY WATER (1973): Legendary child-frightener, and one of the most influential and effective PIFs ever made. Donald Pleasence's voice helped lower the number of child deaths by drowning and opened the door to the scary, deadly PIFs of the 70s & 80s. A folk horror film condensed into 90 seconds.

Streaming sucks - whether it's music or TV nothing beats owning the actual thing - nothing worse than being halfway through a show & then it's pulled from the system. Or watching something & it gets interrupted by adverts you can't fast forward!

After a quiet spell, we've picked up a bunch of new #followers this week. Welcome, everyone. Feel free to browse, there's always new music to be discovered! www.realgonerocks.com

Au revoir my little pettite pans. Tatty bye

If you use AI for any part of your creative output, I'm going to assume you did so out of laziness and that your lack of passion tells me I should avoid whatever it is you've made.

Throw back Thursday to the day I reviewed Under the Skylon by Candidate on the BBC website. www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/r2mus....

Happy Thursday & as is tradition on a Thursday it's Singles Bar time! Enjoy!!

got bored. made the test card clown

@sentimentbot.bsky.social go then, hit me with it!

I want my country back … from those who profit as public transport is run into the ground , those who get rewards for putting shit in the sea, those financiers and bankers who will destabilise a country for a quick buck, basically everyone Farage will stand up for if he wins an election

Evening you.

This is getting rather tedious & frustrating now. Guys another danger.

I think I've hit peak Bluesky - mentioning Byker Grove & Get Carter (the proper one - obvs!) in one post - sums up my dichotomy!!

Byker Grove S8 E18 - the lads are in the building on top of the car park in Newcastle where Michael Caine meets Alf Roberts in Get Carter!

After Charlie Kirk’s murder, Trump and his allies wasted no time crafting an insidious and baseless narrative: that the left is violent, the right is under siege, and only they can restore order. Sound familiar? The Nazis tried the same playbook.

My suitcases are heavy. My To Do list is shrinking. Tomorrow night I will play a gig in Manchester, and on Thursday night I will play a gig in Bristol! If you already have your ticket, THANK YOU for making this all possible. Just a few left – go go go! ❤️
