The EU is getting bigger:

10 countries want to join. They include:
Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Kosovo , and Ukraine.

The EU is more popular than ever and the U.K. has few friends and has shrunk its economy by 4%.

Good day out!
Burnley played their part but we edged it.

Four gigs this year and they have all been good.
Pixies
Iron Maiden
Wendy James
And last night’s Fields of the Nephilm set in Kentish Town was a great way to round off the musical year.
Roll on 2026 and 40 years of gig going.

A great rock and roll show tonight at a packed Forum in Kentish Town seeing Fields of the Nephilm.
Everything a live gig should be.

Having seen Transvision Vamp twice back in 1988, virtually 37 years to the day I’ve had the pleasure of seeing @thewendyjames.bsky.social live again in Brighton.
Top night out last night.

Very boring technocratic politician beats very boring machine politician.
Neither have the star quality of Angela Raynor.

West Ham have the worst fans in the league.
Silent but so quick to boo.
It’s football lads not pantomime.
I love my day out over there but so many of my own fans are utterly miserable.
Now I realise they haven’t had anything to cheer but the crowd used to be the twelfth man.

Polanski is going to hypnotise Putin instead. A crank party led by a crackpot.
If you're thinking of supporting the Green's it's important to know about all their views, especially of their leader.

Full NATO membership should never, ever be up for question.

Yet Zack supports leaving and it's even sometimes been official Green Party Policy.

Modern football fans are so entitled it’s ridiculous.
If their team loses then it’s automatic boos.
FFS it’s football not panto.
And modern stadiums full of pensioners sitting down produce next to no atmosphere.
The Premiership is a shockingly over hyped product.

Every home Ive ever lived in has had rubbish soil in the garden.
None worse than my current home.
Every year I do some gardening and dig up loads of coal.

I was happy with five tv channels, a Nokia mobile and CDs.
Why couldn’t technology have stopped at that point?
