Hadn’t heard this before , but it’s so sad that all these years later, it is so fitting! We have learned nothing.
When I try to find a job
To earn a little cash
All you got to offer
Is your mean, old, white backlash
But the world is big
Big and bright and round
And it's full of folks like me
Who are black, yellow, beige, and brown
Just what do you think I got to lose?
I'm gon' leave you with the backlash blues

Today was dark and wet and the house needed cleaned… so I watched 3 cheesy Xmas films and used the breaks to undertake a task or prepare part of tonight’s meal. Now I feel stupidly Xmasy in a clean house. May need to make some Xmas cards tomorrow☺️

UK Labour ministers sat on their hands while the SNP engaged with bus manufacturer Alexanders to prevent Scottish jobs being transferred to England. Now Douglas Alexander and Michel Shanks are trying to take the credit.
