Well, hello there.
Do I have anything interesting to say? Probably not. But then that doesn't stop
anyone else, does it?
History will be my judge. History and the chap in the wig, who I'm in front of next week, for nicking those video recorders. But that's another story. For another time.
Meanwhile, let's consider today's immoral dilemma. A large section of the bigoted right-wing press, and their friends in the extreme right of British politics, have a problem with asylum seekers. Yet suggest that Gibraltar should be returned to Spain, and apoplexy results. Why? On the one hand we have a group of people who have suffered in extremis, and who desperately want to be British. On the other, we have a bunch of people who don't want to pay taxes here, and who don't like our weather, who'd rather live in southern Europe. Fine - that's up to them, but it doesn't make them British, does it?
Current music: Dylan's "Live 1964", Katy Carr's "Passion Play" and "The Darker Side of Art" by the impressive Space Mirrors.
More soon.
