This is Sir Richard Dearlove who ran MI6 when British intelligence was spinning a web of lies to get the UK into the murderous and illegal Iraq War. He also wanted the hardest possible Brexit. So he’s both blood soaked and an idiot. He is a danger to Britain’s interests.

#DavidsMonthOfMusic #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 10 - Song beginning with J Paolo Nutini - Jenny Don't Be Hasty

One woman shot dead in Minnesota and already the noise moves on. A mother. A life. Reduced to a headline and a shrug. Violence against women is treated as background static Names fade. Patterns remain. A society that cannot sit with one death long enough to change will keep making room for the next.

When I play with words I pour myself upon the page Vulnerable and brave From happy days to Sorrows exposed All the beauty All the ugliness down to bone Written in poetry and prose When I play with words I am me A story to be freed #poetry

I can't swear that hope alone will be enough to weather every storm But it can be a refuge from a raging tempest A light to follow home Until the darkest of clouds scatter Hope is a new dawn breaking with a day full of promise #poetry

#DavidsMonthOfMusic #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 7 - Song beginning with G Pixies - Gigantic

Unhook ourselves from oil and gas and we unhook ourselves from dependency on dictators, autocrats and expansionist regimes all over the planet. Renewables and other low-carbon energy sources are not just good climate sense. They are also good political sense.

War doesn't begin with shots fired It starts with words Whispers that leak from backrooms into the realm of public discourse ever growing louder Silencing voices of dissent With propaganda Until primed we proudly wave our flags as the bullets fly And the first of millions die #poetry

I tried to write a poem I let it swirl and formulate An idea A thought A written word Flowing out of me It seemed to gel as it unfurled I thought I had it captured But all intention had fled As I read it back A sigh of exasperation left my lips It wasn't poetry It was shit #poetry

My Dutch friends feel the same way.

#DavidsMonthOfMusic #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 5 - Song beginning with E Two Door Cinema Club - Eat That Up, It's Good For You

The UK is a bizarre country where its seen as just fine & normal for people to sleep in tents in the freezing cold. Temperatures to hit -4 this week But the idea Billionaires could be less rich. Not poor, not struggling, just a bit less rich, this is seen as extreme and radical

#DavidsMonthOfMusic #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 4 - Song beginning with D Pulp - Disco 2000

In the distance can you hear the war drums beat The stomp of boots marching Can you stomach the fight? But be under no illusion Our enemies live within The strong men come to bend and break wallowing in gold Driven by a twisted idealogy Can you stomach the fight? #poetry

One of the first things a Farage government will do will be to make sure "the young are taught correctly about our history," and if that doesn't set off all manner of alarm bells then it should. (MAIL)

New years eve Belly full of booze A kiss for all For one night only We'll be alright A years fuck ups forgotten Clean slates and sins forgiven Until tomorrow slaps us out of our illusion Burying New year dreams and delusions Lets be naive and still believe in us #poetry

I dont feel old Yet the back of my hand tells a different story Liver spots and crinkles Who am I kidding I'm nearly sixty If I look in a mirror without glasses I almost see a wrinkleless face But do I really care without the lines etched by time I wouldn't be me #poetry

The trick to staying young Is a flexible brain Be a seeker of knowledge Always questioning Open to the new and wonderous Don't dwell in the past Your futures only scary If you can't accept change Live life as though it's just begun Tomorrow is full of the possible and amazing #poetry
