Also, I grew up in East London/Essex in the 70s

Generally I don'tcare what the 25% of the electorate who will vote Reform whatever (or because of) Farage says, I want to see Labour target the 75% who don't, put forward the progressive, even socialist(!) agenda that will get >50% of the vote like it has at every GE since WW2

It's something that always amazes me about authors who produce many stand alone books...the fiction that hooks me has great world building, you get a sense other stories could be happening elsewhere...to do that time and again (I'm thinking Tchaikovsky and Scalzi particularly) is amazing

He might also want to consider that if he's the same as Bernard Manning and Love They Neighbour, no one sees them any more, so maybe the same should apply to him

Agreed, especially when, despite my listening bring almost exclusively blues rock, plus my mates home made prog albums, I have an age of 21

I'm sorry Avocados but you went to university and now you're paying, effectively, a higher tax rate on earnings over a certain amount to help fund education going forward
The inequitable part of that tax is that a rich mummy and daddy could buy their offspring out of it, not that it exists
