@davidkurten Black woman speaks out on politics in her own country. How very dare she. No longer politically neutral & no longer a royal. She got out.

@johnredwood Not sure who THEY are JR but there's been a pandemic on lad with car showrooms closed for months. Lots of people also losing their jobs or having their wages cut so can't afford a new motor. Hence the collapse of petrol and diesel car sales this year...

39 years ago today I was at a gig at a racecourse. At York for a supposed "rock festival" as it was billed. Echo & The Bunnymen with Spear Of Destiny, The Sisters Of Mercy & The Chameleons also on the bill. Can I remember what happened yesterday? No! I remember it rained a lot.

Things you see on the way home from gigs... Iggy Pop did a song about satellites. These are I think starlink satellites showing up in the sky tonight over Co Durham.

@GBNEWS The rock veteran signed an open letter calling for visa-free travel for musicians after previously saying "what's Brexit got to do with rock music?" Well Roger... a lot fella. You Better You Better You Bet.

Co Durham is a beautiful County with many great people but we have our share of stupid ignorant c*nts too. #darrengrimes #kirstymcoll #ShaneMacGowan

Back in the day I was heavily involved helping organize for the Anti-Nazi League. It mainly involved countering the National Front in various ways. This was their rallying cry. Same slogan with the Jack behind it. We've come full circle.

I don't always agree with @annaturley but @JacobYoungMP 's leaflet is an utter lie. Anna has continued to live in & fight for #Redcar constituency even after not winning last time. She could have moved on. She didn't. She stayed loyal & local. Anna is worth far more than him.

It must really irritate Jacob Young that, unlike him, I live & work in the constituency & that I’ve been elected by Redcar Labour members over & over again in the last 12 years to be their candidate, for him to have to lie on his leaflet. #trustinpolitics

#SycamoreGap This is Sherburn, Co Durham. Trees are so important. There are many important things to care & worry about. Trees are right up there.

@KiMcGuinness @UKLabour Should have stood up for @MayorJD Kim & then the party could have had a proper selection process /campaign & I would have voted for who came out on top. Now Jamie will get my mayoral vote & my Labour & Coop Party membership have both been binned. Sad day that it's come to this.

A spot of hunt-sabbing before I get to the footy... A number of local hunts DO hunt foxes even though they pretend they don't. Seen them out. Utter c**nts in my book. Most are them are Conservative supporters I hear. Who would have guessed...
