It just doesn’t feel like a gig venue, and then there is the broader Watford problem that for slightly more travel time you could go to a better venue in London. E.g. Ronnie Scott’s is an hour door to door from my house.

I work for a plc and I’m sure if I accidentally released our results before the market had been informed it wouldn’t be treated as a storm in a teacup!

The Nazi taboo also went along with a stereotype of what a racist looked like - skinhead, football hooligan, tattoos etc. As you got into the 90s those people barely existed outside a very ostracised sub culture, which ironically let people like Farage use the camouflage of a suit and tie.

But unfortunately it is less of a struggle in a 5 party system than it was in a 2.5 party system.

Yeah, I live on the other side of the ULEZ border and the same people who were frothing mad about it either have pretty new cars as a core part of their identity or were upset on hypothetical other people’s behalf.

…immense income from extortionate rents. Actually, it is a poor old woman who has invested her life’s savings in three slum houses, inhabits one of them and tries to live on the rent of the other two – never, in consequence, having any money for repairs.”

That’s very harsh on Graham Taylor! He had a clear vision of how to run a football club which worked incredibly well at domestic level, but didn’t transfer to England. Starmer feels more like an ex big name player who gets given a big job because of name recognition but then doesn’t have a clue.

I would say this was definitely true for the Irish and Italian families I grew up with. Different now in terms of the relative strengths of the economies and the class background of new immigrants in the first place.
