Lewis Goodall humiliates Labour's Darren Jones who is unable to criticise President Trump for breaking international law by attacking Venezuela
Humiliating, pathetic, soulless - Darren Jones, what a let down

I had no idea the sopranos sing those words at the end! One day I’m going to sit in the audience at a gig. Our stuff sounds totally different to how I think it does!
Here's to a positive 2026.
It was a toss up between 'Call it a Genocide' (youtu.be/xRHZwb7HCY8?...) and our far cheerier 'Union Jill'.
Let's be happy today.

I’ve never heard this from outside of the tenors section. It sounds totally different from the perspective of the audience!
Finally a video for Citizen Shanty, written in 2017 when Theresa May was going on about citizens of nowhere, as if that'd be a bad idea.

Here's the worst version of "Silent Night" ever made! The Prussian military band that recorded it in Berlin in 1905 presumeably didn't have any Alpine bells around to add atmosphere, so they got the regiment's drunk cook to fill in on a couple of pots and pans!

YOP or YTS again??? We’ve done this. It didn’t work. Employers used these schemes to rip off young people who couldn’t get out of them or they lost benefits. Shitty fast food chains will be thrilled though. Ffs.

Private/selective schools, whether they’re based on faith, wealth and privilege or any other factor are divisive. They breed ignorance and intolerance of others. Well done Finland.
