I was once a gardener and then an Infant teacher. Still a massive music fan - all genres, but especially Soul and Motown. Women's football, Cricket, Cycling, Village Churches...Interested in most things - caring for the natural world especially.

I don't speak a word of German, but I love this album. I hope 1 or 2 others liked it too. Here's a sweet track to finish with.

When your past finally catches up, what do you do? What do you do?

When the record shows you voted against every measure meant to help working people—what do you do? What do you do?

When stories about your ties to Russia won’t disappear, what do you do? What do you do?🤨👇

Exceptionally nasty, in the quote below. Do you notice how, if the press wants damning evidence of Farage’s hateful views and behaviour, all they have to do is ask whether anyone has encountered it?

Little reminder of Farage's pro Putin tendencies....

Hopefully some media outlets may take up @eddavey.libdems.org.uk 's suggestions to probe Mr Farage a bit more on this.

Is Farage saying he chose to support the wishes of a hostile foreign govt for free? 😲

Don’t forget, no matter how much Nigel Farage tries to shape Reform UK’s economic policy to win votes, at heart he’s a disaster capitalist.

“It seems free speech only exists for people who agree with them.” Reform UK's legal threats against Welsh news service @nation.cymru hints at the party taking a more aggressive approach to the #UK media. Read Daniel Boffey's analysis:

WHY isn’t Farage being charged with treason?
@labouruk.bsky.social ?
Surely what he’s done goes way past treason?
Does he get away with it because he’s rich?
It never stops.
The grubby donations. The profiteering. The lobbying. The lies.
“In 2019-20, as the UK was leaving the EU, Harborne gave £10m to Nigel Farage’s Brexit party, since renamed Reform UK.”
They make damn sure they get what they want.
We get screwed.

The worrying rise of US anti-abortion rhetoric is in full force - how deep is Reform UK's involvement?

Money is pouring into anti-abortion campaigns in Britain, and it seems Nigel Farage’s party isn’t pushing back…

German artist Max Raabe + Palast Orchester make music influenced by German film and dance music of the 1920/30s.
Der Perfekte Moment (from 2017)
I'll post tracks in the same order as the lp. Adore this album.
