I’m a stubbornly independent progressive folk musician whose songs focus on social and political injustice, concern for our environment, family, love and life…because I’m actually a human being.
I hate the shit that's happening in this world, and I do my bit to try and stem the flow.
Peace Lives.

20 years ago, gambling was privatised by Blair's government. Ever since, it's been in almost every TV and Internet advert break - the worst offenders being sports programmes. The normalisation of gambling has plunged thousands into debt. Higher are taxes needed.

If instead of Ukraine, it was the UK, and some fucking foreign tyrant had stolen Scotland, why would that tyrant be any part of a peace deal? Oppressors without humiliation will continue to oppress, and their oppression would not stop at the Scottish border.
