Im reading The Decline and Fall of The Roman Empire.

It sums up nutty multycultural Britain, a decadent lefty liberal elite, unnecessary wars, high taxation, and a tsunami of immigration.

Yup, Enoch was correct and predicted it all and before the lefty liberals screeeeem that tiresome old mantra '' racist '' , what a limited vocabulary they have, YES I did say Enoch Powell, an honest politician who told the truth and some people dont like the truth, its uncomfortable, they prefer living in a liberal la la dreamland. dont they ?

Deadwood dvd's Seasons 1, 2 & 3.
Lots of bodice ripping, throat cutting and Ian McShane at his best.

On his day one of the finest rock music talents that the UK has ever produced,(but sadly overlooked in my opinion) was Graham Parker (& The Rumour) If you want to acquaint yourself with his music, then his first album "Howlin Wind" is as good a debut album as there has ever been imo, but his finest moment has to be his sublime 1979 offering, "Squeezing out Sparks" The album can still make my feet tap and my spine tingle after all these years with its intense brilliance. Put it on the CD player after the Queens speech and watch your Granny throw her zimmer frame away.
