An American hero, standing up to the injustice and terror in Minneapolis
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Is it time for the UN to vacate New York and relocate to, say, Switzerland? And while the rest of us watch the USA walk away from its allies and post WW2 obligations, should it, and Russia, lose their Security Council veto rights?

Boris Johnson promised farmers that “subsidies would stay - 100% guaranteed”.
🚜 The National Farmers’ Union council was overwhelmingly in support of “Remain”, but decided not to campaign outright, as it would upset some of their larger farmers who were cheering Brexit.
