      I remember – as a teenager – reading both Huxley and Orwell – and being into science fiction – Asimov / Clarke because I was studying sciences .

      The horror of our time is that Orwell is no longer fiction – and although he could not conceive of the internet – he was on the money with regard to the control of information / news – and the need for a ‘sub class ‘ – proles – can’t remember his term – who were happy in their bread and circuses – …. Now back to the footy …

      I think I might re read them …

      … and thinking of animal farm – that SNP Chap – mr crankie really fits the ‘pig ‘ characteristics ,, bet he get a job in the library …

        I like Philip K Dick sci-fi books best.
        Life is generally normal for the protagonist in the first chapter, but quickly spins totally out of control.
        A bit like living in the UK these past decades..

    I hope the fawning is driven by real desperation …

    I do not wish the man well in the vortex of reshuffling – maybe there’s a drive through KFC somewhere that needs a litter picker.

      Basically, didn’t 400 labour MPs all vote for the policies, that Starmer alone is getting the hate for.
      But lets blame him for the country’s free fall and have a different pair of glasses in as leader, to continue the same downward spiral, without anyone noticing.

    Well, I’ve just had a quick squint at the “England” versus Ghana game and it’s left me bemused…

    I can see one bunch of sub-Saharan Africans playing in yellow shirts and another bunch playing in white shirts.

    “England” have got a German manager, there are names in our line up like Konsa, Guehi, Bukayo Saka and Madueki. There are more dreadlocks on display than at a Bob Marley lookalike convention. How in the name of God is this an England side?

    Sorry, call me an aged old gammon (and some will) but this ain’t for me.

    Think I’ll watch an old episode of Miss Marple.

    When England was still English…
